Hutchinson Caracal Race Tubeless Gravel Tyre - 700x40

The Caracal Race is optimized for speed on dry to moderately loose gravel, fire roads, and hardpack. For very muddy or highly technical terrain, a tyre with a more aggressive tread pattern might offer better grip.

The Mach Tread 3.0 compound offers significantly improved energy return (+25%), increased hardness (+10%), and enhanced tearing performance (+75%) compared to previous Hutchinson compounds, leading to faster rolling and better durability.

Yes, the Caracal Race is Tubeless Ready (TR) but can also be used with standard inner tubes on compatible rims.

The Caracal Race benefits from technology and compounds developed for Hutchinson's road racing line, adapting them for gravel use to deliver exceptional speed and performance on mixed terrain.

Recommended pressure varies based on rider weight, rim width, and terrain. Generally, for tubeless setups, pressures can be lower for comfort and grip. Consult Hutchinson's guidelines or experiment to find your optimal pressure.

ETRTO (European Tire and Rim Technical Organization) size 40-622 indicates the tyre's nominal width is 40mm and its bead seat diameter is 622mm, which is standard for 700c wheels.

Ensure rim and tyre bead are clean. Use a tubeless tire sealant and a compressor or CO2 inflator for a rapid burst of air. Check that the rim tape is properly sealed.

Check sealant level and add more if needed. Rotate the wheel to distribute sealant. Inspect tyre and rim for small punctures or bead leaks. For persistent leaks, a tyre plug might be necessary.

Verify correct tyre pressure for conditions. Ensure the tyre is mounted in the correct rotational direction if applicable. Check for any debris lodged in the tread.
