Python 2 TLR Hardskin 29in Tire

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The Python 2 with Hardskin is my go-to rear tire for dry to mixed terrain. It rolls fast, holds grip on punchy climbs, and sheds just enough mud when things get slick. And with the Hardskin casing, I can hit rocky sections without worrying about flats."

With two decades of XC dominance in its tread, the Hutchinson Python 2 29in Tubeless Ready Hardskin tire continues to prove itself as a benchmark for speed, traction, and reliability. Designed for aggressive cross-country riders and racers who demand performance from their equipment, the Python 2 blends proven race pedigree with modern construction to stay fast on every pedal stroke and tough in every corner.

The legendary square-profile tread design delivers low rolling resistance with consistent grip, featuring tightly packed center knobs for speed and squared shoulder blocks that bite into corners and off-camber lines. Hutchinson’s Race Ripost XC compound enhances rebound control and surface compliance, while the Hardskin casing provides bead-to-bead protection against sharp rocks, roots, and harsh trail debris. From marathon XC races to technical trail rides, the Python 2 delivers a high-speed, high-traction ride you can trust on dry and mixed terrain.
