Launches GP Explorer, a New Benchmark for Entry Level Road Performance
Thanks to Hutchinsons combination of thoughtful engineering and efficient industrial design, the GP Explorer delivers a high level of performance and reliability, offered at a highly competitive price, making quality road tyres more accessible than ever.
The GP Explorer is available in two distinct versions to suit different rider needs:
Folding Bead: featuring a 66 TPI casing for a more supple, performanceoriented ride. Available with black or tan sidewalls across all sizes.
Wire Bead: built around a 33 TPI casing, prioritising durability and value. Available in black only, in 26 and 28 mm widths.
Developed to meet the expectations of entry-level and everyday cyclists, the GP Explorer offers a true “fit and forget” solution, providing confidence and peace of mind without sacrificing ride quality. Drawing on technical insights gained from Hutchinson’s performance road tyre range, the GP Explorer is available in 26, 28, 30 and 32 mm widths, enabling riders to benefit from improved comfort and reduced rolling resistance associated with wider tyres.
