WTB Vulpine SG MTB Tire

The WTB Vulpine tubeless tire - with SG Puncture Protection - is a gravel ride specific.

Vulpine is the latest race-focused addition to WTB's line of beloved gravel tires. Tightly spaced center knobs form a nearly uninterrupted centerline to decrease rolling resistance while the rest of the tread is packed with short knobs to further promote efficiency, minimize the chance of punctures, and deliver predictable cornering traction. Vulpine prioritizes all-out efficiency without sacrificing climbing or braking traction and is the perfect tire for gravel racers looking to lead the pack as well as daily riders in search of an efficient tire that excels on many surfaces including pavement, hardpack and gravel.

Features:

• Efficient Knob Spacing: Tightly spaced center knobs form a nearly uninterrupted centerline that decreases rolling resistance while the rest of the tread is packed with short knobs to further promote efficiency and minimize punctures
• Fast Centerline: The smooth rolling surface of the Vulpine reduces rolling resistance and improves tread longevity, resulting in a longer lifespan than other gravel tires
• Round Profile: Overall knob profile mimics a high-volume road tire, which provides equal cornering confidence in a variety of different terrains and conditions
• 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

SG Puncture Protection and Air Retention:

SG tires start at the material level, specifically formulated for superior sidewall protection and increased air retention in high-pressure tires. The sidewall protection has extra layer that defends most exposed areas of the tire and improves air retention for high-pressure tires.

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.
