What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I race the Skeleton when I want a tire that absolutely flies. It’s super light, and the mono-compound rubber is fast and predictable—perfect for dry tracks and big climbs. If I’m chasing PRs or podiums, this is what I run front and rear."

When every gram matters and podiums are won on the margins, we roll with the Hutchinson Skeleton 29in Tubeless Ready mono-compound tire. Stripped down to its XC racing essentials, this high TPI version is built for max efficiency, minimum weight, and dependable grip—everything we want when the course demands speed and precision in equal measure.

Its supple 127 TPI casing smooths out trail chatter and keeps the tire glued to the ground under power. The mono-compound rubber prioritizes low rolling resistance and consistent grip, making it an ideal choice for short-track battles, XC marathons, and high-speed laps alike.
