Hutchinson Intensive Tubeless on Kysrium Elite with Stans notubes valve stem and sealant

A quick review of these tires, they aren't the fastest, but they are incredibly tough would be great for training and commuting on bad roads. I also raced them at Battenkill in the Masters 30+ and didn't flat despite rimming out hard on a deep pothole on a paved section that I believe would definitely have pinch flatted a tube. My only real complaint is that the tires are nowhere near 25mm wide, some of my 23mm tires measure wider then these.

No affiliation with any of these manufacturers.

**UPDATE: I've been informed that mounted on Stan's Alpha tubeless rims these tires do inflate to 25mm in width.

So did these need a notubes kit and rim strip, or are they tubeless wheels?

@rkan2 I used the Stan's road kit, which does not include a rim strip, but does include the valve stem. They are not tubeless wheels.

Hello liv, it's hard to say, as I've only had them for a few months. The Intensives feel very tjough, (including sidewalls) and they certainly feel like they'll last for a long time. I've ridden them through some bad gravel, and no problems so far. I'd definitely put these under the "high-mileage" category.

thanks for the review. i have a set of shimano sl7850 tubeless clinchers and am debating over what tires to get. what kind of mileage have you gotten out of your tires and/or what do you expect to get? i've had tubed fusion 3's and fusion 2 triathlons and didn't like them much; the hutchinsons tend to have weak sidewalls imo. thanks
