WTB’s fast-rolling 60a durometer rubber compound is specifically formulated for high-performance riding in a variety of conditions.

The centerline compound features 60a durometer rubber for fast rolling, precise steering and durability. The dense, slow-rebounding 50a durometer outer tread provides exceptional grip and shock absorbing properties.

WTB’s special blend of high-traction 50a durometer rubber provides sticky, solid traction for improved control in steep, loose conditions.

The ultimate slow-rebound rubber compound, High Grip DNA, conforms to trail elements for maximum grip. This 40a durometer rubber provides unmatched performance in wet and technical conditions.

This thick-ply casing resists cuts from rocks and debris while damping impacts. Our Inner Peace sidewall reinforcement further protects the tire from damage, reduces sidewall flex and dramatically reduces pinch flats.

The Aramid bead provides greater bead-seat characteristics, while weighing in lighter than conventional wire beads.

The Cable bead is an economical folding wire bead that is easier to install and of a higher quality than a traditional wire bead.

Designed to meet UST/ETRTO standards, WTB tubeless tires feature an Aramid bead with exceptional air retention qualities. Our tubeless tires also feature our high-performance DNA rubber compound.

TPI stands for threads per inch. This number refers to the thread count in a tire’s casing. A lower TPI indicates that thicker threads are woven into the casing, therefore making it more durable; a higher TPI indicates thinner threads are used, therefore making the casing lighter and more pliable. WTB’s 60 TPI race-level tires offer supple, shock absorption qualities while remaining resistant to cuts and tears. The Super Duty casing found on Team DH tires, by contrast, feature dual plies of tough 30 TPI casing.

Sipes are small incisions on a tire’s tread. Siping a knob creates more working edges, which boosts traction in virtually any condition. Because WTB’s high-end mountain tires feature shallow sipes, the knobs still stay firm under heavy loads and hard braking.

WTB’s road-tuned Dual DNA improves both traction and durability by utilizing two optimal rubber compounds. The firm centerline (62a durometer) long-lasting, fast-rolling efficiency and the softer shoulders (57a durometer) offer trustworthy grip while leaning into turns.

WTB recommends that tire pressure be checked before each ride. The acceptable pressure range for mountain bike tires is 35- to 65-psi (2.4- to 4.5-bar). Road Tires must be inflated to 100- to 130-psi (7- to 9-bar). City/Trekking/Hybrid tires must be inflated between 50- and 80-psi (3.5- to 5.5-bar). Tire pressure outside of these guidelines can result in a loss of control or, at the very least, poor performance.
