Hutchinson’s new ‘fastest gravel tyre on the market’ only comes in one size

As with gravel bikes, so gravel tyres are diverging fast into ‘race’ and ‘normal’. Today Hutchinson throws its hat into the speedy end of the market with its new Caracal tyre, the ‘race’ version of which it claims is the fastest gravel tyre on the market, according to independent testing. 

As you might expect for a gravel tyre with such speedy claims, both the Caracal and the Caracal Race feature a totally slick centre, with progressively larger sidewall knobs to provide some modicum of bite in the corners.
