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 Daniel King

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Breakout in less than 100 miles.

Brand new, less than 100 miles and the bead ripped right on the edge leaving me stuck (didn't hold the spare tube I fitted on the road). I loved the feel while it lasted, but $0.50 a mile plus the long walk to the accessible road was an expensive and frustrating experience. Too bad. I had high hopes for the new brand, although the Mavic Yksiom, Michelin and Continental all do great. Will contact mfr for warranty but others seem to have had no luck. Update: After sending an email to mfr the null response looks like there is no help. I don't know if this is a bad tire in general or if mine just had an unusual manufacturer fault; The other one from the kit I bought works fine.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
