WTB Horizon Cycling Tire Item # 911014
Description
The WTB Horizon tubeless tire - Adventure road ride specific.
Horizon brings supple plus-size traction and smooth riding characteristics beyond where the pavement ends. This high-volume 650b tire pairs an all-weather herringbone pattern with parallel grooves to improve cornering traction on crumbling tarmac and increase comfort on hardpack. The Horizon provides deceivingly svelte performance on pavement, with resilience that isn't shaken by chasing confidants down dusty roads. The Horizon creates a new riding experience, regardless of where your exploits lead you.
Features:
- Slick Centerline Efficiency: Provides maximum efficiency while also smoothing out the ride on a variety of surfaces ranging from smooth tarmac to broken pavement. Tread is less important on the centerline of the tire where the weight of the rider is pushing in a downward direction rather than the cornering forces that occur at the outer edges of a tire
- Circumferential Grooves: Running parallel to the tire enhance cornering performance by allowing the tread to flex and better conform to the trail. They also channel water away from contact surfaces of the tire
- Herringbone Outer Tread: Grapples with wet roads to deliver all-weather traction while also improving confidence on the occasional gravel road. Enough to get you through it, but not enough to slow you down
- TCS (Tubeless Compatible System): WTB's standardized tubeless system. These tires feature a TCS tubeless casing, which nearly eliminates flats and allows lower tire pressures to improve traction and comfort over a traditional tube-type tire
Dual DNA Compound:
The more layers of rubber present in the tread, the better control riders have over the ride characteristics. Dual DNA features two compounds to provide an efficient centerline with softer rubber side knobs.
