It’s no secret that mountain bike tires vary greatly in size. For instance, one manufacturer’s 2.2-inch trail tire can be comparable in size to another company’s 2.5-inch. A fraction of an inch might not sound like much, but it can be the difference between proper performance and a tire that won’t even fit in your frame. To combat these blatant inconsistencies, WTB introduced the Global Measurement System (GMS).

WTB-sponsored riders won every pro race in the three-stage Bionicon Keyesville Classic mountain bike race, including the prestigious All Mountain Pro title. Great job to Max Plaxton, Ben Furbee, Kris Sneddon, Yuri Hauswald, Keith Marchando and Nate Furbee.
