Fastest tire we make

For racers aiming to maximize straight-line speed without sacrificing grip in the corners, Vulpine S is the perfect choice. A solid centerline delivers pure speed, while tightly packed small knobs bite into the dirt as you lean through turns.

Fastest Centerline

The smooth rolling surface of the Vulpine S 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 Ready

TCS (Tubeless Compatible System) is WTB's standardized tubeless rim/tire system. TCS tubeless ready compatible tires eliminate the need for tubes, reduces weight, and accommodates lower tire pressures for improved traction and comfort compared to a traditional tube-type tire.

product technology

TCS (Tubeless Compatible System) is our industry-leading tubeless rim/tire system designed to international ETRTO and ISO standards.

One layer of supple, gram-conscious casing conforms to the terrain to provide maximum performance, exceptional reliability and low rotational weight.

Specifically formulated to prioritize rolling efficiency while also providing dependable traction and lasting durability.

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

*WTB's tire pressure recommendations have changed over time due to further developments in technology. Riders may always reference the markings on their tires for allowed pressures ranges, but may also consult wtb.com for the most up-to-date tire pressure recommendations from WTB. We calculate pressure recommendations based on an average rider weight of 160-180 lbs and suggest increasing our minimum recommended pressure on WTB.com by 2-3psi for every additional 10 lbs of rider weight. Never exceed the maximum tire pressure marked on a tire.

SG Puncture Protection

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

Dual DNA

Dual DNA rubber compound combines harder, faster-rolling center sections with softer, grippier shoulders for optimal performance and weight. Additionally, each tire is equipped with robust SG puncture protection to ensure durability and reliability on any terrain.

Zero Plastic Packaging

All new WTB tires are packaged using 100% recycled materials and zero plastic. Our engineers and marketing team are constantly working towards reducing the amount of packaging our products requiring, while still providing you with the necessary information to make an informed purchasing decision. It's no small task, but minimizing the total amount of packaging has become an integral part of product development.

This results in simplistic packaging using more recycled materials and less zip ties. In the next few years, we're working to ensure 100% of WTB packaging goes in the recycling bins.

Tried and True

Gravel racers Whitney and Zack Allison put the Vulpine S to the test during the 8-day Transcordilleras bikepacking gravel race in Colombia, as well as the grueling 200-mile Unbound Gravel in Kansas, among other events.

“The Vulpine S tires are the best of all worlds: generous volume and some side tread for chunky terrain with a smooth center tread to keep the speed,” Zack Allison said.
