“Whether riding or racing, gravel cyclists continue to expand what’s possible on a bike, and WTB is proud to help them get further and faster, with purpose-built tires that deliver rocket ship efficiency, best-in-class grip, and peace of mind with superior puncture protection,” said Johs Huseby, WTB’s Product Vision and OEM Director.
WTB Vulpine S: A High-Performance Gravel Race Tyre / Tire
“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.”
“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.
“Beneath the tread, the speedy, supple, and durable 120tpi SG TCS tubeless-ready casing enhances ride comfort, offers ample protection, and keeps weight to an absolute minimum.”
“This tire puts the fun in gravel. I ran this thing across Colombia this spring for 60 hours in 8 days and had zero issues. In fact, I still am running it,” Whitney Allison said.
The 700c Vulpine S is available in 40mm and 45mm widths, in both black and tan sidewalls, for $69.95 / €59.95 / £65.00.
WTB Vulpine 45: A Bigger Version of an All-Around Gravel Classic
“Gravel riders love the Vulpine tread for its blend of efficiency and confident traction. Now the 36mm and 40mm Vulpine tires have a new sibling with the 45mm edition. It boasts the same Dual DNA compound found in the Vulpine S but offers even more grip in the center portion of the tread.”
“Tightly spaced knobs along the centerline ensure fast rolling while maintaining good grip when out of the saddle on steep, loose climbs. Additionally, the short knobs on the shoulder provide extra grip without adding unnecessary bulk that could slow you down.”
The Vulpine 45 is available in 700c, featuring a supple and lightweight 120tpi TCS tubeless ready casing with SG puncture protection in the sidewalls, and comes with a choice of black or tan sidewalls for $69.95 / €59.95 / £65.00.
WTB Resolute 50: The Ultimate in Robust, All-Weather Gravel Riding
“For riders who prioritize durability and maximum comfort on the roughest and wettest of gravel rides, the Resolute has long been the go-to choice. Now the tire is available in a 50mm version, offering even more flotation, confidence, and comfort over rowdy roads and trails.”
“Make no mistake, the Resolute 50 is designed for speed, featuring a supple 120tpi TCS tubeless-ready casing, a Dual DNA rubber compound, and bead-to-bead SG2 puncture protection.”
“A tight and consistent centerline ensures impressive rolling efficiency for clocking up the miles, while the small, square knobs deliver predictable bite into a variety of terrain and conditions. The rounded edges on the knobs, combined with the wide spacing of the transition and side knobs ensure efficient mud clearing and consistent traction even on the wettest days.”
“Along with its incredibly versatile tread, the extra volume offered by the Resolute 50 makes it a great choice for those seeking to conquer the unconquered.”
The Resolute 50 is available in both Black and Tan casing options and carry an MSRP of $69.95 / €59.95 / £65.00.
