Review on 2018 Hutchinson FUSION 5 PERFORMANCE Tubeless and Tubeless Ready Bike Tire featuring the latest ElevenSTORM compound: Enhanced SEO-optimized product name with slight modifications. by Mdl Thurston

This tire is very easy to convert from tube to tubeless. First, make sure you have a wheel that is tubeless ready. Then secure it properly with tape to prevent air from escaping through the spoke holes. Finally add the tubeless valve stem. Everything is ready. After preparing the rim, the tires were mounted quickly and were so light that I pumped them up with a floor pump. On larger tubeless mountain bikes, I had to use an air compressor to force the tires into the rims. First ride impressions: They're about 100 grams lighter than the street tires and tubes (with sealant) I replaced. I could immediately report the improved acceleration and incline. The rubber compound runs quietly and there is no air loss when checking the tire pressure after the first ride. Very unusual for a newly fitted tubeless tire. This rubber compound has excellent air holding capacity. I will update my rating after riding it for a reasonable amount of time but first impressions are very good.
