WTB Ranger 2.8/3.0 SG2 MTB Tire

The WTB Ranger 2.8 and 3.0 tubeless tire - with SG2 Puncture Protection - is trail and bikepacking ride specific.

Looking for a set-it-and-forget-it plus tire? Meet the Ranger 2.8/3.0. Tightly spaced center knobs set the pace while open outer lugs devour corners and shed muck with ease. Completing the package, multi-directional knob sipping ensures the Ranger will grab hold through technical climbs and high-speed corners. Its high-volume casing increases rider confidence as it conforms to the trail and increases traction. Ranger 2.8/3.0 is trail ready and bikepacking approved.

Features:

• Small Knobs, Big Volume: The high-volume tread of the Ranger 2.8/3.0 is covered in small, short knobs to deliver the traction of knobbier tires, but without the increased rolling resistance that accompanies chunkier knobs. This makes the Ranger 2.8/3.0 an excellent tire choice for trail riding or bikepacking
• Multi-Directional Siping: Knob sipping in a variety of directions provides improved traction whether you're pedaling, braking or cornering. Siping also improves traction on wet rocks and roots by increasing the amount of working edges on each knob contacting the trail
• Mud-Shedding Design: Substantial spacing between knobs allows room for mud to fling from the tire rather than clinging on to the thread. Open spacing allows the knobs to always be in contact with the trail rather than being covered with sticky mud
• 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

SG2 Puncture Protection:

SG2 is unique puncture protection technology that provides bead-to-bead coverage to ensure both the tread and sidewall are protected from slashes and punctures. The nylon fibers within SG2 feature a uniquely flat profile, which reduces the amount of rubber between fibers. Improving the fiber-to-rubber ratio increases puncture resistance, reduces weight and improves the overall liveliness of a tire. While SG2 is primarily a puncture protection layer, its tightly woven fibers also improve air retention to better maintain pressure between rides.

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.
