Tyre Technology

TCS Light Casing - A supple, tubeless compatible, gram-conscious carcass designed to be compliant and conform to trail objects while still providing a happy balance of low rotational weight and rugged reliability.

TCS Tough Casing - Take our proven TCS Light Casing and. well. double it. Yep, TCS Tough tyres are composed of two full layers of casing, bead-to-bead, leaving no area unprotected on our burliest tyres. Developed through real world testing during the Enduro World Series, this casing is designed to take punishment and has been optimized for tubeless sealant usage, retention, and consistency.

Road TCS Casing - The pavement-going brother of our TCS Light casing. This tubeless-ready casing features a single layer of supple casing covered in our soft, grippy Distance Plus compound rubber. Tubeless simplicity paired with unbelievable road-feel in all the sizes you want.

Race Casing - supple, lightweight tube-type casing, paired with a folding aramid bead and fast rolling 60a rubber. This casing type is ideal for the rider using inner tubes but demanding high-end performance from their tyres.

Durable Casing - A robust and substantial casing provides the strength needed for our wire bead tyres to last. A high ratio of rubber to thread protects against trail threats and urban unpleasantries. Found in all Comp level tyres, this casing type is for use with inner tubes and cannot be set up tubeless.

DNA Rubber Compound - Our proprietary 60a durometer rubber compound offers the ideal mix of rolling efficiency and traction for XC and trail riding applications. DNA rubber is renowned for being versatile and long lasting.

Dual DNA Rubber Compound - Dual DNA is the perfect mix of efficiency, traction and durability. The centerline tread features a firmer rubber compound that boasts faster rolling and increased durability, while the side knobs are composed of softer, slower-rebounding rubber that improves control and grip. This compound is used on our Fast Rolling tyres.

Gravity DNA - Consisting of a 60a durometer rubber beneath the tread for support and durability, while the exposed tread is a sticky 45a compound for increased traction throughout the entirety of the tyre's contact patch, creating uncanny traction with tuned rebound characteristics designed to take harsh hits yet not fumble for footing. This compound is used on our High Grip tyres.

Distance Compound - Found in WTB and Freedom's pavement tyres, this compound is specifically formulated to maximize the lifespan of tyres. Sick of wearing out tyres yet don't care to ride on a pair of Crayons? Try our Distance Compound for a harmonious pairing of longevity and traction.

Flat Guard - The Flat Guard level of WTB tyres features an Urban Armor Casing, which provides additional rubber throughout the entire casing and sidewall to deliver additional puncture protection while also ensuring it holds up to cornering on asphalt and even the occasional curb rub. Additionally, Flat Guard tyres utilize an additional layer of rubber beneath the whole width of the tread to provide even more thickness in the region where the tyres are most likely to encounter sharp, intrusive objects.

TCS (Tubeless Compatible System) - Tubeless Compatible System: Standards-driven system designed around tubeless bead shapes and hooks to create repeated sealant-based consistency between tyre and rim.

Specifications

Tritec and Slash Guard

Ranger 2.4 & 2.6 tyres feature TriTec Compound, which utilizes three rubber compounds to provide different levels of traction, support and durability based on their placement within the tread. The entire tread pattern is supported by a base of high durometer rubber, which also transitions halfway into the height of the knobs and allows for the use of softer knob compounds without the tyre folding due to cornering forces. The top of the center knobs consist of a medium durometer compound to provide traction and durability without sacrificing rolling efficiency, while the outer knobs feature the softest compound to deliver maximum grip and slow rebound.

TCS Light versions of the Ranger 2.4 & 2.6 feature our Slash Guard technology, which provides a nylon insert within the sidewall of the tyre to provide additional sidewall protection.
