The Hutchinson Wyrm Downcountry & Trail Tyre is an aggressive 29" tyre meticulously crafted to bridge the gap between XC and enduro disciplines.
This incredibly capable downcountry offering is ready when deployed on its own or primed to cover the full spectrum of XC, trail, and enduro riding across a breadth of conditions when used in combination with other tyres in the Hutchinson range. Like its namesake, Hutchinson's latest addition to its mountain bike range is a force to be reckoned with, ready to transform a bike's character with a simple tyre change. The Wyrm sits between the aggressive Griffus and the fast yet capable Kraken 2.4, completing the Hutchinson ecosystem of downcountry, trail, and enduro tyres.
You can employ the Wyrm as a standalone tyre for a capable, all-weather, downcountry setup or run it upfront with the recently relaunched Kraken 2.4 at the rear for a fast rolling, grippy summer trail pairing. Alternatively, as a rear tyre matched with the ever popular Griffus, it can offer increased speed in conditions where a full enduro setup may be overkill.
The construction of the Wyrm is based on a 66 TPI carcass matched with Hutchinson's signature XC Race Riposte Tri-Compound and Hardskin bead-to-bead reinforcement. The result is an optimal balance between efficiency, responsiveness, and puncture protection. The Wyrm's large 6.1cm (2.4") volume enables the tyre to be run at lower pressures, while its lower height and low-profile design ensure excellent efficiency, even on dry terrain requiring quick acceleration. A relatively round profile offers a forgiving platform for excellent support on rugged terrain, corners, and off-camber sections.
The central tread pattern of the Wyrm takes its inspiration from Hutchinson's XC range, using a dual chevron design where one chevron is designed to improve efficiency and rolling speed while the other focuses on improving traction and braking. Small bridges connect each section of the chevron to create a mechanical linkage, allowing each chevron to function as a solid block. The central chevrons have been spaced out for effective mud shedding while the side knobs have been set up in an alternating pattern that allows a smooth transition between the centre and the side of the tyre while cornering. The side knobs also incorporate a small groove that promotes further deformation for superior grip.
