While Hutchinson wasn’t showing anything brand new at Sea Otter, they did mention that two of their treads -Cobra and Cougar- were being developed in 650B / 27.5 sizes for mid-2012 release. Following up with them after the show, we learned that they’ll be offering two or three additional existing treads in that size and possibly a new semi-slick XC racing pattern in a narrow 2.1 or 2.2 size. They’ve exhibited at PressCamp in June in the past, so perhaps they’ll be showing new stuff then.
