Engineered for the modern MTB cycling enthusiast who demands speed without sacrificing control, the Hornet is a top-tier choice from CHAOYANG´s Premium Line.

Key Benefits:
* Exceptional Speed & Low Rolling Resistance: The unique tread pattern is optimized for minimal friction on hardpack and straights, allowing you to maintain high speeds and conserve precious energy.
* Confident Cornering Grip: Aggressive, well-spaced shoulder knobs provide tenacious bite and predictable feedback when leaning into turns, giving you the confidence to push your limits on loose or technical sections.
* Enhanced Traction & Puncture Protection: The Tubeless Ready design allows you to run lower tyre pressures for a larger contact patch, dramatically improving grip and ride comfort while virtually eliminating pinch flats.
* Superior Sidewall Durability: Equipped with CHAOYANG´s Shark Skin Protection (SPS), the tyre features enhanced resistance to cuts and abrasions on the sidewalls, adding reliability for rocky and challenging trails.
* Lightweight Agility: The folding bead construction and optimized materials keep the weight impressively low, contributing to faster acceleration, easier climbing, and more responsive handling.
Main Features
The Hornet’s aggressive yet intelligent tread pattern is its secret weapon. A ramped, tightly-spaced central tread block design ensures minimal rolling resistance on hardpack and straights, allowing you to maintain momentum and conserve energy. As you lean into turns, the progressively taller and more aggressive shoulder knobs dig in, providing tenacious grip and predictable handling, giving you the confidence to push your limits in tight corners and on loose-over-hard terrain. The 2C-MTB dual-compound technology places a firmer, faster-rolling compound in the centre and a softer, grippier compound on the shoulders for the perfect blend of speed and control.
Embrace the future of MTB cycling with its Tubeless Ready (TLR) design. By running the CHAOYANG Hornet without an inner tube (with sealant, not included), you can safely use lower tyre pressures. This results in a massive boost in traction, a smoother ride over roots and rocks, and a significant reduction in the risk of pinch flats, letting you ride harder with more peace of mind.
Built to withstand the rigours of aggressive XC and trail riding, this tyre features CHAOYANG´s proprietary SPS (Shark Skin Protection) technology. This special nylon breaker in the sidewall provides excellent protection against cuts and abrasions without adding excessive weight. The 60 TPI casing offers a supple yet robust foundation, while the folding bead not only reduces overall weight but also makes for easier storage and installation. This 27.5´´ tyre with a versatile 2.20 width is the ideal choice for riders looking for a performance-oriented, all-round XC tyre.
