SG2 PUNCTURE PROTECTION
ADVENTURE ROAD - GRAVEL - CYCLOCROSS
WTB drop bar tires are now available in a protected option featuring a 120tpi casing and all-new SG2 puncture protection, which is a lightweight, ultra-thin
nylon insert that provides bead-to-bead coverage and ensures no area is left unprotected. The nylon fibers of the bead-to-bead insert have a flat profile,
which reduces the amount of rubber needed to fill the gaps between fibers and therefore uses less rubber compared to traditional round fibers. Using
less rubber minimizes weight and improves the liveliness of the tire by decreasing the overall tire casing thickness. SG2 was specifically designed to be a
puncture protection layer, but also improves air retention in high-pressure tires. WTB’s protected drop bar tires drastically improve both puncture protection
and air retention while also increasing suppleness compared to a 60tpi casing.
120TPI CASING
Thin nylon threads of a 120tpi casing require
minimal rubber between each thread, which
results in a tire that is thinner, lighter and more
supple compared to a 60tpi casing.
SG2 PUNCTUREPROTECTION
S G2 defends all surfaces of a tire by providing
an uninterrupted layer of puncture protection
from bead to bead.
FLAT NYLON FIBERS
Flat fibers require less rubber between them,
which results in less overall weight. This allows
our protected drop bar tires to offer considerably
better puncture protection with only a small
increase in weight.
