CASINGS
TCS LIGHT CASING
One layer of supple, gram-conscious casing
conforms to the terrain to provide maximum
performance, exceptional reliability and low
rotational weight.
PUNCTURE
PROTECTION
SG2
SG2 defends all surfaces of a tire by providing an
uninterrupted layer of puncture protection from
bead to bead.
TCS TOUGH CASING
Take our TCS Light casing and...well... double it.
TCS Tough Casing is composed of two full layers
of casing from bead to bead. Regardless of
puncture protection spec, all TCS Tough tires
feature bead protection for additional defense
against pinch flats.
RACE CASING
Now called Tube Type Light, it is a lightweight
casing paired to a folding Folding bead. This casing
type is ideal for the rider using inner tubes but
demanding high-end performance from their tires.
TUBE-TYPE LIGHT
Once called Race, our Tube Type Light tires have
a lightweight casing paired to a folding Folding
bead. This casing type is ideal for the rider using
inner tubes but demanding high-end performance
from their tires. These tires utilize a bead shape that
relies on tire retention through proper installation
and inflation of a properly sized inner tube.
COMP TIRES
Cost effective tires that feature grippy DNA
rubber, durable impervious casings, and wire
beads designed for use with a tube.
FLAT GUARD
The Flat Guard (FG) level of WTB tires 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 tires utilize an extra layer of rubber beneath
the whole width of the tread to provide even more
thickness in the region where the tires are most
likely to encounter sharp, intrusive objects.
COMPOUNDS
TRITEC COMPOUND
Three compounds provide optimal levels of
traction, support and durability. A base of high
durometer rubber supports the entire tread and
transitions into the knobs to prevent folding or
squirming. Medium stiffness center knobs cap
the base layer to provide traction and durability
without sacrificing rolling efficiency, while soft
compound side knobs deliver maximum grip and
slow rebound for increased cornering traction.
DUAL DNA 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.
DNA COMPOUND
Our proprietary 60A durometer rubber compound
offers the ideal mix of rolling efficiency and
traction for Cross-Country and trail riding
applications. DNA rubber is renowned for being
versatile and long lasting.
