Vulpine is the latest race-focused addition to WTB’s line of beloved gravel tires
Tightly spaced center knobs form a nearly uninterrupted centerline to decrease rolling resistance while the rest of the tread is packed with short knobs to further promote efficiency, minimize the chance of punctures, and deliver predictable cornering traction. Vulpine prioritizes all-out efficiency without sacrificing climbing or braking traction and is the perfect tire for gravel racers looking to lead the pack as well as daily riders in search of an efficient tire that excels on many surfaces including pavement, hardpack and gravel.
Features
- Round Profile: Overall knob profile mimics a high-volume road tire, which provides equal cornering confidence in a variety of different terrains and conditions.
- Dual DNA Compound: The Vulpine tread features Dual DNA Compound, which combines the strategically placed characteristics of two different rubber compounds within the tread of a single tire. Supportive centerline rubber delivers optimal rolling efficiency and tread longevity while softer rubber throughout the outer edges of the tread increases cornering confidence across varied terrain and conditions.
- Efficient Knob Spacing: Tightly spaced center knobs form a nearly uninterrupted centerline that decreases rolling resistance while the rest of the tread is packed with short knobs to further promote efficiency and minimize punctures.
- Fast Centreline: The smooth rolling surface of the Vulpine reduces rolling resistance and improves tread longevity, resulting in a longer lifespan than other gravel tires.
- 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.
- Light Casing: One layer of supple, gram-conscious casing conforms to the terrain to provide maximum performance, exceptional reliability and low rotational weight.
- SG2 Protection: Available with SG2, which defends all surfaces of a tire by providing an uninterrupted layer of nylon puncture protection spanning from one bead to the other.
