"Hutchinson claims the GP Explorer sets a new benchmark for entry-level road performance, and it was " designed to make high-quality performance accessible to every cyclist, regardless of their budget or experience level." According to the brand, the new GP Explorer draws inspiration from the iconic Hutchinson GP1 - " a benchmark road tire of the 1980s " - and has been adapted to meet the performance demands of today's cyclists."
"One of the most notable features of the GP Explorer is the dual-tread compound, a step up from the single compound used in many tires at this price point. Hutchinson says this allows them to balance rolling efficiency and dependable cornering grip, akin to what you might find on more expensive tires."
"Along with that, the brand states that they designed the GP Explorer with an " expanded tread area " intended to maximize contact with the road surface to enhance cornering stability and traction. All of the variants and sizes of the GP Explorer are clinchers designed to be used with a tube, which is expected at this price point."
"The new GP Explorer is available in two versions intended to suit different needs and preferences, and they are VERY affordable (see below). Claimed weights range from 230g to 310g, depending on the size. Folding Bead: €14.99 / £14.99: featuring a 66 TPI casing for a more supple, performance-oriented ride. Available with black or tan sidewalls in 26, 28, 30, and 32mm widths."
