Hutchinson Fusion 5 Performance 11 Storm TR Kit

The Hutchinson Fusion 5 Performance 11Storm Tubeless Ready Kit provides all you need to create a tubeless set up for your road bike, so you too can start to enjoy the benefits like improved comfort and handling and a reduction in setbacks.

The kit consists of 2 x Hutchinson Fusion 5 Performance 11Storm Road Tyres (700 × 25c), a bottle of Protect’Air MAX latex sealant, 2 x rim tapes and 2 x tubeless rim valves.

The Fusion 5 Performance 11Storm Road Tyre is constructed from a rubber compound called 11Storm which has been proven in independent tests to provide lower rolling resistance, increased durability and better grip to the previous best compounds available. With a Kevlar reinforcement under the tread, this tyre will reassure the most nervous rider and offers superior durability.

All the tyres in the Fusion 5 range feature a Road Tubeless Ready design. This technology has several benefits, the main being puncture resistance. The absence of an inner tube eliminates the risk of punctures due to impact/pinch or burst. Comfort is also increased due to the opportunity to ride at a lower tyre pressure so less feedback from the road’s defects. There’s also increased grip thanks to a greater deformation of the tyre in curves and improved performance due to no internal frictions with an inner tube.

If the tyre is to be used as part of a tubeless set-up Hutchinson recommend using their Protect’Air MAX latex sealant to guarantee airtightness. If there is a puncture, the sealant acts to fill the hole (until 3mm) and repair the tyre. However, the tyre can also be fitted to a standard rim and with an inner tube.
