Gravel-optimized Touareg 650b Tubeless Ready Hardskin tire delivers speed and protection
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I’ve been riding the 650b Touareg Hardskin on my adventure rig. It’s super fast on gravel but forgiving enough for long rides on rough roads. The smaller wheel size with this volume gives me the control and comfort I need, and the Hardskin layer has kept me flat-free through some seriously rocky terrain."
From remote logging roads to technical descents, the Hutchinson Touareg 650b Tubeless Ready Hardskin tire keeps our gravel rides fast, confident, and protected. With a high-volume design that smooths out chunky routes and a tread that grips across hardpack and dirt, this tire is our top pick when we’re aiming for adventure with a performance edge.
Inspired by Hutchinson’s road-race casings, the 127 TPI construction offers a supple, responsive ride that shines on long efforts and variable terrain. The bead-to-bead Hardskin reinforcement delivers peace of mind through sharp gravel and hidden debris, while the dual-compound tread maintains rolling speed without skimping on control. Whether we’re setting up for bikepacking or pushing pace on familiar fire roads, the tubeless-ready 650b format brings comfort and confidence in one fast-rolling package.
