Hutchinson

Hutchinson is one of the oldest tyre manufacturers in the world — a French company founded in 1853 that pioneered the detachable pneumatic bicycle tyre in the late 19th century, predating most of today's major tyre brands by decades. This deep manufacturing heritage informs Hutchinson's modern road tyre range, which balances genuine performance with accessibility — particularly for riders making their first move into tubeless road cycling.

The Hutchinson Blackbird TLR is the key road tyre at Eminence Cycle Co. — a tubeless ready 28c road tyre that provides a practical, well-priced entry point into the tubeless system. For riders who want the benefits of tubeless road cycling — lower rolling resistance, self-sealing puncture protection, and the ability to run lower pressures for improved comfort and grip — without the premium cost of flagship tubeless tyres, the Blackbird TLR is the logical first choice.
