Description

The HUTCHINSON Taipan 29x2.35 Hardskin RaceRipost XC Tubeless Ready folding bead tyre is a model that prioritises efficiency, lightweight and grip. Equally at home on mixed, rocky or wet terrain, it ensures good lateral mud clearance thanks to its V-shaped tread blocks whilst providing excellent lateral grip.

Versatile, this HUTCHINSON Taipan tyre also benefits from the Hardskin high-resistance nylon textile mesh reinforcement placed under the tread and on the sidewalls to prevent cuts from sharp stones and further increase puncture resistance.
Combined with the new RaceRipost XC triple compound, this model delivers excellent performance in terms of both efficiency and longevity.

Can be used with or without an inner tube, it is ideal on the rear wheel for performance and speed-oriented Enduro riding.

A tubeless tire that's very easy to

"A tubeless tire that's very easy to seal on the rim. Good traction on both dry and wet surfaces."

Jeremy C. (5/5)

A versatile and reliable tire.

"A versatile and reliable tire. I use it on the rear wheel in the fall and winter, and it lets me tackle all kinds of wet terrain—sand, leaves, roots, rocks... You lose a little speed, but the traction is there."

Claude B. (5/5)

Child's Play TL Assembly

"I haven't had a chance to test the tires yet, but fitting the TL tires is amazingly easy. I mounted them by hand and inflated them with a hand pump. I've never fitted TL tires this easily before."

Lpi (5/5)

Excellent grip

"Excellent grip, rear-mounted, good braking performance, and great traction on roots when climbing."

Nico37420 (4/5)

Winter tire

"Perfect for heavy, very heavy soils!!!!!!!!!!!"

HUTCHINSON TAIPAN 29x2.35 Hardskin Race Ripstop

"Rear tire paired with a Toro on the front. Used for downhill enduro and uphill trail riding, on a 30 km ride with 1,200 meters of elevation gain. The rear tire rolls well given its tread pattern and offers good traction on climbs, whether on mud, a carpet of leaves, or roots. On descents, no loss of traction to report, whether in turns or on slippery technical sections. Fitted tubeless on a 25mm-wide rim; no flats in two months in the Vosges."

Baptiste1108 (5/5)

The 29-inch Taipan is top-notch

"Great for cross-country riding all year round, comfortable even in dry conditions, and—most importantly—it grips really well no matter what the terrain."

Damien09sp (5/5)

Taipan

"Excellent—great traction on the rocky terrain of Savoy!!"

Kobe73 (5/5)

Satisfied

"Great tread pattern, excellent grip on dry, rocky surfaces (haven't had a chance to try it on wet ground). You can really feel the difference compared to standard tires, but I don't have enough experience to compare it to other tires in the same category."

Uskurna30 (5/5)

Durable and effective

"They perform well on all types of terrain, and the reinforced sidewalls are really durable. Since I use them tubeless, I'm even more satisfied with them. In short, I highly recommend them."
