WTB Sendero MTB Tire Item # 911026
Description
Sendero is for riders who believe "sending it" shouldn't be limited to mountain bikes. As the first Road Plus tire designed solely with dirt in mind, the Sendero combines drop bar efficiency with the capabilities of an aggressive tread design. Ramped center knobs minimize rolling resistance while substantially spaced outer knobs promise footing in loose terrain. Looking to ride mountain bike tires on your drop bar bike? The Sendero is for you.
Usage: Gravel/ Trail
Conditions: Dirt/ Gravel/ Loose/ Wet
Features:
- Sendero was designed for riding loose, aggressive trails on a drop bar bike. We took the tall, blocky knobs and deep siping that are decidedly mountain tire traits and put them to use on a tire that is undecidely gravel/mountain.
- Knobs are are tightly spaced along the centerline to keep it rolling fast like a gravel tire needs to, but they remain relatively tall to deliver traction while sideways braking hammering up a rocky climb. Big knobs mean big traction for those days when you want to party on your gravel bike.
- Road Plus 650 x 47 tires end up being the same overall diameter as a 700 x 30 mm road tire, allowing riders to benefit from both high-volume comfort and large-diameter efficiency. Inspired by progressive gravel events along the lines of Grinduro, the Sendero 47 provides an aggressive tread pattern in the high-volume Road Plus 650 format, combining drop bar efficiency and mountain bike traction.
- TCS (Tubeless Compatible System) is 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.
TCS Light Casing
TCS Light tubeless tires feature one layer of casing to minimize rotational weight while simultaneously increasing the overall liveliness of a tire. Using a single layer of casing results in a gram-conscious tire that better conforms to any terrain and increases traction without the need for excessive knob heights that would reduce efficiency. Many of the TCS Light gravel tires feature SG2, which is the unique puncture protection technology that provides bead-to-bead coverage toensure both the tread and sidewall are protected from slashes and punctures.
