HutchinsonFusion 5 All Season 11Storm Tubeless Tire(Return to Product Page)

I converted my road bike wheels to tubeless over the summer and needed a tubeless winter tire. These got good marks on BicycleRollingResistance dot com so I gave them a try. They are fast and do well in the wet and cold. I did have one puncture that I had to plug with a Stan's dart to make it home (didn't self seal) and I just patched it property once home. Haven't had any issues since. Overall I am happy with this tire, but consider it to be a road only, faster winter tire.

These tires are great. I started running them last year on Boyd Cycling wheels with Stan's sealant. They were used in casual riding, crit racing, road races, and multiple centuries. In all cases they performed well, had good grip, rolled fast, and never left me with a flat. Our road conditions are not always smooth and include chip seal that is devastating to tires but these handle it well. I was able to get 2,600 miles out of the rear tire and wore it down to the cords. Most tires in the past I can never get beyond the 1,500 mile mark. I am 180 pounds and a strong rider. I am experimenting with other tires in the Fusion 5 lineup now.

First set of this version of Fusion 5's. These tires maintain their pressure extremely well and much better than previous ones. They ride smoothly and still provide good road feel and traction.

These tires are not as fast as some others, but they aren�t slow. However, they have a enough puncture resistance that I have yet to have a flat or leak of tubeless sealant. It is nice to not have to worry whether I will flat or not.

I have 3,000 miles on these so far (28c) and they have endured many gravel rides including a 100 miler. I took a legit MTB single track to finally puncture it. Sealant took care of it and haven�t had any leak since!

I swapped a new set of Vittoria Rubino G2.0 tired which punctured almost every ride for these. These were much easier to mount and to air up. I have only ridden these about 90 miles, they do handle differently than the Vittorias, but thus far I am impressed.

I experienced the same thing as Twin Falls IA. Rode it 6000 miles. All the way down to the inner threads. Not one geyser latex leak even. Never a flat. Best tire ever since the old Wolber Steel Belted tire I used in the early 1980's as a NYC bike messenger.

I used these tire this past season - two in the back, one in the front. I had one flat (back tire) - but this was due to a big side wall cut, which I think was caused by a piece of metal flashing. I use these tires on ENVE 3.4's. The tires seat well (I use an air compressor and a Park Tool inflator head and Orange Seal). I like the feel and grip of the tires.

The installation instruction state to use a CO2 to seat the tire and I tried a couple of times with the floor pump but could not get the tire to seat. Once I used the CO2 it seated right away.

On the recommendation of my bike shop I been using these tires (tubeless) for 2 years now (approx 15k miles). While I've lost partial tire pressure due to a puncture, I've not yet had a complete flat or a tire that I could not quickly pump up to pressure. I weigh approx 180lbs and ride these tires at 75-80psi for comfort on rides up to 200 miles a day on some very rough roads. I change out the rear tire approx every 2 k miles, or at the first sign of the tread wearing off. I change the front much less often. I've had good experience getting these tires to seat on the rim of my HED Ardense rims. I've tried another brand (Swalbe pro one tubeless) and have not successfully seated the tires, which could be my fault or a compatibility problem between the tires and the HED rims. These are good durable tubeless tires which I highly recommend especially if you are new to tubeless.

Worse tire I ever used, I weight 139 pounds and never have before many flats, any small rock cut the tire

Fast, stable, and I love the tubeless reliability. Been rolling these for 28 days, and just passed 800 miles. Will definitely purchase again.

This is my first tubeless road tire setup and after a month of daily commuting and so 30 mile rides they are working well. I mounted the 25mm tire on Velocity A23 rims. Used 2 layers of Stans tape and 30ml Cafelatex sealant per wheel. The tire fit snug but were not any more difficult to mount then my standard Conti tires. I was able to pump up both tires with a regular track pump, no air compressor or CO2 required. I started running them at 80 psi but they felt pretty hard at that pressure. I can't comment on the durabilty, I've only been riding them a month.

I have used the clincher version of this tire for many years for recreational rides and it is long lasting and performs well. Please continue to make a clincher version.
