Hutchinson (cycling tire manufacturer) Overide TLR Hardskin
Overview
The Overide is the tire for mixed riding where pavement is used to reach gravel or trail sections. It offers fast rolling performance on roads while maintaining stability and grip on loose surfaces.
Four sizes are available to match different riding needs.
The 35 mm version is optimized for more road use, featuring a semi-slick center tread and diamond-shaped side knobs for better cornering traction.
The 38 mm and larger versions use a pebbled center tread that remains efficient on asphalt but provides improved grip in loose conditions.
The bead-to-bead Hardskin flat protection combined with Tubeless Ready technology improves resistance to cuts and punctures. The flagship HSK TLR version is handmade at the French factory.

Advice from a pro – bikepacking experience
Alexandre COTTEBRUNE, a bikepacking enthusiast, has been using the Overide in 700×38 size for two years.
This setup provides comfort and stability even on bikes loaded with more than 15 kg of equipment.
The tire rolls very fast on road sections but remains stable on more unstable terrain such as rocky paths, fire roads, forest tracks, or wet trails.
Puncture resistance is considered very reliable thanks to the Tubeless Ready construction. According to his experience, no punctures occurred over more than 1000 km during a long adventure.
