Hutchinson Fusion 5 Performance Gridskin

£62.95, windwave.co.uk

This limited edition of Hutchinson’s Fusion 5 Performance tubeless-ready road tyres boasts a new Gridskin sidewall reinforcement that claims to improve performance and reduce environmental impact.

The French brand says the mesh build of its Gridskin ‘isolates external damage’, thus minimising the development of bigger holes and punctures while also improving grip and comfort. Moreover, Hutchinson claims the addition means the process requires less plastic, rubber and manufacturing energy, with the lack of sidewall labels reducing waste further still.
