Endurance racing superstar Monique “Pua” Sawicki will debut the new 520 gram Tubeless-Ready Cobra in the 40-mile Cross-Country race on Saturday. “When I first tested the Cobra in Moab last year, I was immediately impressed by the speed and hook-up of the small center knobs,” states Sawicki. “They’re working really well on the climbs here at the Sea Otter, and the side knobs keep it stable when the course gets sandy.” Come by the Hutchinson Booth at the Sea Otter on Friday at 1:30 to say hi to Pua before she attacks the field on Saturday.

Hutchinson’s second tire in the Road Tubeless category, the Intensive, is designed for serious training, long-wear, and urban riding conditions. While a larger version was just tested in the rigors of the Paris-Roubaix cobbled classic last week, a 25mm version is now available to the public.

“The expansion of Road Tubeless offerings is super- important to our market,” says Dana Carson, Managing Director of Hutchinson USA. “This Intensive gives the serious rider an option to save his Fusion 2 Road Tubeless tires for the races, while training on the Intensives. It’s also great for the urban cyclist who needs a tire to brave the elements and last a long time.”

The Intensive features a thermoplastic-reinforced compound that improves wear without decreasing grip, and Hardskin sidewall technology to increase resistance to perforations and cuts.
