Hutchinson tyre BLACKBIRD TLR 700x34 folding (black/tan)

HUTCHINSON Blackbird 700 × 34C Tyre – 127 TPI, Mach Tread 3.0, Tubeless Ready, Tan Wall (PV533471)

The HUTCHINSON Blackbird 700 × 34C Tan Wall is a premium road bike tyre from the high-performance Racing Lab range, engineered for cyclists who demand high speed, low rolling resistance, and lasting comfort on long rides. Thanks to its 34 mm width, it provides a larger air volume and superior vibration damping compared to narrower racing tyres.

It combines the advanced Mach Tread 3.0 compound, the supple SwiftEasy Casing 127 TPI construction, a folding bead, and Tubeless Ready technology. The striking Tan Wall design with beige sidewalls gives any bike a sophisticated, classic racing look.

Blackbird – Speed and Rolling Efficiency

The Blackbird model features a smooth road tread profile optimized for fast riding on tarmac.

It is specifically developed to minimize energy loss when rolling while providing confident grip and road feedback when cornering at speed.

According to manufacturer data, the Blackbird series achieves up to 10% lower rolling resistance and a 15% wider tread footprint compared to the previous generation. The result is a perfect balance of rolling efficiency, grip, and dynamic road performance.

Mach Tread 3.0 – High-Performance Compound

The tyre utilizes the Mach Tread 3.0 compound, engineered with a clear focus on minimal rolling resistance, high cornering grip, and long wear life.

It delivers crisp acceleration, efficient cruising speed maintenance, and precise bike handling through bends. Ideal for both competitive racing and high-mileage training.

Hutchinson rates the Blackbird series for a lifespan exceeding 4,000 km. Actual mileage may vary depending on riding style, road surface conditions, rider weight, and tyre pressure.

SwiftEasy Casing 127 TPI

The SwiftEasy Casing with a dense 127 TPI carcass enhances the tyre's suppleness and its ability to conform smoothly to surface imperfections.

This fine casing ensures fluid rolling and helps eliminate road buzz and vibrations. Consequently, it strikes an optimal balance between pure speed and rider comfort that pays off on long races and endurance rides.

Reinforced Construction for Extra Durability

The tyre features a reinforced casing designed to protect against typical road hazards and punctures.

At the same time, the Blackbird maintains its race-ready characteristics and focus on efficiency. It is built primarily for paved roads rather than off-road terrain.

34 mm Width for Comfort and Stability

The 700 × 34C (ETRTO 34-622) dimension provides significantly greater air volume than traditional narrow road tyres.

At proper tyre pressures, the 34 mm width dampens vibrations much more effectively over coarse tarmac or uneven surfaces.

The increased air volume also enhances cornering stability and overall comfort on endurance epics.

This tyre is ideally suited for modern road and endurance bikes with ample frame and fork clearance.

Tubeless Ready and Hookless Compatibility

The PV533471 model features Tubeless Ready technology, allowing for a tubeless setup when paired with compatible rims, tubeless valves, and sealant.

A tubeless setup helps seal small punctures on the fly and enables riding at lower tyre pressures for enhanced comfort and traction.

The manufacturer also confirms compatibility with suitable Hookless rims. When mounting, always observe the pressure limits and guidelines specified by both the tyre and rim manufacturers.

The tyre can also be run with a standard inner tube if preferred.

Folding Bead and Made in France

The folding bead (Folding Bead) simplifies handling, storage, and transport.

The Blackbird model is made in France, building upon Hutchinson's long-standing heritage in developing world-class performance tyres.

Sophisticated Tan Wall Finish

The Tan Wall colour option pairs a black tread with beige/tan sidewalls.

This aesthetic adds an elegant, classic touch to any road bike, complementing modern carbon frames as well as traditional steel or alloy builds.
