Griffus Racing Lab Mountain Bike Tyre
The Griffus is available for 27.5” and 29” wheels in 2.4” and 2.5” widths, with the 2.5” option receiving a taller, more aggressive tread pattern. Hutchinson suggests running the 2.5” version up front, and the 2.4” in the back, but riders looking for lower rolling resistance can run the Griffus 2.4 front and rear, or take the dual 2.5” route for more traction.
The tires are constructed with a 66tpi casing, and Hutchinson's Hardskin fabric runs from bead to bead to provide additional puncture protection. The tread is comprised of three compounds - a 94a durometer base layer that provides support, overlayed by a 50a durometer rubber for the center tread pattern, and softer, 40a compound for the side knobs.
The Griffus 2.40 is the faster rolling version, its central tread offering the right compromise between efficiency and braking. With a 57 mm cross section and a faster central tread it can be used as a rear tyre for riders seeking to save precious seconds in competition.
The Griffus 2.50 tyre of choice for elite riders such as Carson Storch, Kilian Bron, Yoann Barelli and Cécile Ravanel. Used at the front, its high knobs provide you a perfect cornering stability and a very high riding precision.
Technologies:
- Tubeless Ready (TR) - fits tubeless rims with no inner tube and also standard rims with inner tube

- Race Ripost GRAVITY compound is dedicated to challenging practice but keeps rolling capacities.
- Our Hardskin® solution, patented textile reinforcement from bead to bead
- Aggressive side knobs offering high grip
