Hutchinson’s Caracal Tyre Goes ALL ROAD, Offering Adventurous Riders More Options
Caracal gravel range now covers all conditions, from original all rounder to Race model and now ALL ROAD for mixed paved and unpaved terrain
11 April - Paris, France - French tyre manufacturer Hutchinson today bolsters its range of Caracal gravel tyres, with the introduction of the Caracal ALL ROAD.
Seeking to further align with how fans of the brand use its products in the real world, Hutchinson identified a demand for a fit-and-forget gravel tyre offering, meaning riders no longer have to choose between road and gravel - they can have it all! The Caracal ALL ROAD is a hybrid construction at home on both paved and unpaved surfaces - ideal for those gravel-curious roadies who want to move quickly on the tarmac but who also want the freedom to play off-road when the trail calls, even if that’s mid-road ride.
This versatility ensures fewer pre-ride tyre changes, encouraging a ‘just get out and ride it’ mentality - without fear of ruining your regular road or commuting rubber. Meanwhile the reliable and durable construction, coupled with all conditions suitability, results in a tyre which will continue to perform all year round.
Casing Construction
The Caracal ALL ROAD utilises the same Swifteasy casing construction as the Caracal Race, which is used in competition by some of the world’s top gravel riders. This 127 TPI casing offers excellent flexibility and reliability under a wide variety of conditions on both roads and trails. Although sharing the same base of construction as the Caracal Race, the Caracal ALL ROAD features additional polyamide reinforcement under the tread. This provides increased puncture protection, making the Caracal ALL ROAD more rugged and adaptable.
Rubber
The Mach Tread 3.0 rubber, originally developed for Hutchinson’s latest generation of super fast road tyres, truly shines here - allowing the tire to fully exploit its grippy road potential while providing the necessary assurance to venture onto more demanding surfaces.
With a similar profile to its Caracal siblings, the ALL ROAD features a smooth central tread pattern for reduced rolling resistance on the road, closely mimicking the feel of a fast, slick wide-section road tyre. Where the Caracal ALL ROAD comes into its own is in pairing this with pronounced side knobs to improve off-road cornering traction and peace of mind grippiness on less predictable surfaces.
Sizing
Available in a 700 x 35mm width only, this presents the ideal format to effectively absorb vibrations, reducing fatigue on the road and trail, and maintaining traction on those rougher terrains whilst maintaining widespread frame and fork compatibility.
Tubeless ready, this new Caracal model is available in black or tan sidewall options.
The Caracal Ecosystem
The Caracal ALL ROAD joins the Caracal Race, independently proven as the fastest gravel tyre available, and the Caracal which utilises the same tread pattern but matched with a traditional casing design and Hardskin protection balance of performance and durability.
In addition to the Caracal ALL ROAD, the Caracal (hardskin version) also sees a new 45mm model become available, with Caracal Race available in 45mm from June 2025 onwards.
