Hutchinson Piranha Air Light

BikeRadar verdict

35 out of 5 stars

"Floaty balloon tyre feel, but balloon-like braking/direction control, too"

By Bikeradar

Flat-out fast with a lovely smooth feel, the Piranha Air Light is a tad expensive and offers very little grip cornering or in the wet.

Popular on complete ready-to-race bikes, the Piranha Air Light certainly feels fast on Tarmac or grass. It’s got a lovely fluid, ‘floaty’ feel too. 

Unfortunately, that flat centre and minimal edge tread means not even a ghost of grip in wet or hard braking/cornering situations, so it’s best saved for the back tyre if anywhere.

Having said that, you'll love it if you love a really supple tyre and don’t corner aggressively.
