"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I’ve raced and trained on the Python 3 for months now, and it’s the perfect tire for technical XC trails. It rolls fast, grips hard in corners, and the Hardskin layer lets me ride aggressively without stressing flats. It’s my go-to rear tire for anything from stage races to rowdy trail days.""Developed in Hutchinson’s Racing Lab and refined alongside elite XC athletes, the Python 3 29in Tubeless Ready Tire is the evolution of a legend built to meet the demands of today's aggressive XC and trail riders. Whether we’re chasing podiums or crushing long trail days, this tire offers the speed we crave, the control we depend on, and the protection that keeps us moving forward. An updated, wider center tread provides more contact for enhanced braking and power transfer, while spaced side knobs offer progressive cornering control through off-camber turns and loose-over-hard terrain. Hutchinson’s Race Ripost XC triple-compound rubber ensures a stable, grippy ride feel with precise rebound management. Reinforced bead-to-bead with Hardskin, the casing shrugs off sharp rocks, roots, and trail chatter, delivering flat protection without compromising speed. Lightweight, race-proven, and trail-tough, the Python 3 is the tire we trust when the course gets fast and the lines get sketchy."
