Cyclingnews.com gives us a close look at cyclocross prodigy Katie Compton’s race bike. The attention to every little detail is incredible. Compton isn’t compromising a single component in her quest to become Champion of the World. We’re proud to see that Compton’s saddle of choice is the WTB Silverado. You can read the entire profile here.

We’re pleased to report that a full range of UST tires are now in stock. The new inventory includes tubeless versions of several of our most popular treads including Wolverine 2.2 UST, Wolverine 1.95 UST, Prowler MX 2.3 UST and Prowler MX 2.1 UST. For those of you getting some wet weather through the winter months, the Wolverines are the way to go. The Wolverine 1.95 handles the wet slop exceptionally well.

We also just received our first batch of the new-for-2010 Wolverine 29″ tires! These are the most versatile 29er tires on the market. Click here to watch the Wolverine 29″ tire video.

WTB-sponsored rider Katie Compton absolutely destroyed her competition this past weekend at the first stop of the Cyclocross World Cup series in Treviso, Italy. Compton attacked on the opening lap, the only rider to match the move was current world champ Daphny Van Den Brand. By the second lap, Compton was completely on her own and she never looked back. By the end of the 16-kilometer race, Compton had nearly 30-seconds on Van Den Brand and more than a minute on most of the top ten finishers.

Compton now wears the World Cup leaders jersey, the next stop of the Cyclocross World Cup series is October 18, in Pilsen, Czech Republic, near WTB’s European headquarters. Unfortunately this round of the World Cup is only open to elite men. Katie Compton, and the rest of the elite women, rejoin the World Cup series on November 8 in Nommay, France. Compton’s saddle of choice is the Silverado SLT.

We are proud to announce that WTB-sponsored rider Steve Peat won the 2009 Downhill World Championships in Canberra, Australia.

Although the 36-year-old rider from Sheffield, England has won more World Cup races than any downhiller in history (17, in total), the World Championships has always eluded him. That finally changed last Sunday, when he beat his Santa Cruz Syndicate teammate Greg Minnaar by .05 seconds to take the gold. Mick Hannah took the third spot and WTB/Subaru rider Fabien Barel came in fourth.

Peat’s saddle of choice is WTB’s Rocket V SLT in white/red. Minaar’s saddle of choice is the WTB Shadow V SLT and Barel prefers the WTB Silverado.

Looks like the crew at Singletracks.com is very happy with the WTB Prowler MX 2.3. We sure appreciate the review, but we’re not at all surprised—the Prowler MX is one of our all-time favorite tires. Read the entire review here.

Whistler Canada’s Crankworx–the biggest mountain bike event in the world–is wrapping up and we’re proud to state that WTB-sponsored rider Brian Lopes was far and away the most dominant competitor in the history of the event. The 37-year-old rider won three of the four races in which he competed, including the Air DH, the Giant Slalom and the Enduro Downhill. In the one event he didn’t win, the Dual Slalom, Lopes placed second to Kyle Strait. Talk about a successful week of racing! Next up on Lopes’ schedule is the Downhill World Championships in Canberra, Australia.

Mark Weir’s peculiar training regimen caught the eye of ESPN’s Sweat Spot. He was recently featured in ESPN magazine as well. Keep an eye out for this video on TV as well during NFL football games. Way to go Weir, those professional ball players still have a thing or two to learn.
