Hutchinson Atom

Price Paid:  $75.00 at snoqualmie

Favorite Ride:
Upper Snoqualmie Valley

Bike Setup:
SRAM Red, Dura Ace Tubeless Wheels

Summary:
Previous review was for another tire. Performance never sold the tubeless Atom tire for $24.

This is an excellent tubeless road tire - and now that there are some excellent tubeless road wheels, one should really give them a try. They ride as well as top tubulars, they get less flats than other tires, and they grip. I rode 3000 flat free miles on Fusion 2 tubeless tires and have yet to flat these in 700 miles.

Strengths:
Grip, Ride, Puncture Protection (especially when using hutch fast'air.

Weaknesses:
a little lighter than ultralight tube+light clincher tire

Similar Products Used:

Price Paid:  $24.00 at perfomance

Bike Setup:
Ridley Aedon, Fuji Team SuperLight.

Summary:
purchased 4 from performance at 24.00 each. Figured uf I didn't like them, I'm not out much. These are great tires. They grip well, although i haven't tried them in the rain yet. They are quite light, coming in at 175-179g. they are very lively and roll very fast. they are however 21mm wide, which takes a little getting used to. You don't even have to open your brake calipers! I have taken quite a few corners, and found them predictable. They also semm very tough for being so light and with the high TPI count.

Strengths:
Fast, light, responsive. Corner well

Weaknesses:
possibly not great in wet conditions- slick pattern

Similar Products Used:
Hutchinson carbon Comp, michelin pro3
