The Vulpine is a gravel reworking of a proven semi-skid mountain tread with years of performance under its belt.. Angled center knobs create a nearly continuous centerline that reduces rolling resistance, while its round tire profile is filled with short, tightly spaced knobs to provide predictable cornering grip on hard surfaces.. Providing a constant speed, the large center knobs make the Vulpine very wear resistant and increase its lifespan compared to other gravel tires.
- The Vulpine is the latest racing addition to WTB's beloved gravel tire lineup.. Densely spaced center lugs form a nearly continuous centerline to reduce rolling resistance, while the rest of the tread is filled with short lugs to further enhance efficiency, minimize the likelihood of punctures and provide predictable cornering grip.. The Vulpine prioritises maximum efficiency without compromising climbing or braking grip and is the ideal tyre for gravel racers looking to lead, as well as everyday riders looking for a performance tyre that excels on a variety of surfaces including tarmac, hardpack and gravel.
Effective placement of protrusions:
- The densely spaced center lugs create a virtually continuous centerline that reduces rolling resistance, while the rest of the tread is filled with short lugs to further enhance efficiency and minimize punctures.
Fast Central Line:
- The Vulpine's smooth rolling surface reduces rolling resistance and increases tread durability, resulting in a longer life than other gravel tires.
Round profile:
- The overall lug profile mimics a high-volume road tire, providing the same confidence when cornering on a variety of surfaces and conditions.
Brown sides:
- It's nice to have a choice, so most of our Gravel Tires are available with black or brown sidewalls.. Traditional black sidewalls tend to blend in with the bike's components and wheels and may look sleeker to some riders.. WTB's brown wall tyres combine retro styling with modern technology to create an iconic look that has become synonymous with high-performance gravel.. As an aside, gram counters may choose our tan-colored tires because the compounds used to make them are slightly lighter than those used to produce black sidewalls.
Compatible with tubeless tires:
- TCS (Tubeless Compatible System) - is a standardized tubeless system WTB. These tires feature a TCS tubeless casing that virtually eliminates punctures and allows lower tire pressures for improved traction and comfort compared to traditional tube-type tires.
About TSC:
- WTB's patented tubeless sealing system, TCS (Tubeless Compatible System,) revolutionized rims and tires in 2009 by combining ETRTO, ISO and UST standards with lightweight tubeless rotating weights. Never before has a standards-based tubeless system weighed so little. Having achieved certification of the first sealant-based tire for the UST system in 2012 from Mavic, TCS continues to push the boundaries of what is possible by creating specialty tires and rims designed specifically for each cycling discipline.
TCS with easy fast rolling (LFR):
- A fast and efficient tread compound in the center combined with sticky, low-duty side lugs cover a flexible, gram-oriented carcass designed to provide flexibility while still being suitable for off-road riding.
DUAL DNA rubber compound:
- Dual DNA is the perfect combination of performance, grip and durability. The center line of the tread is made of a harder rubber compound that provides faster rolling and increased durability, while the side lugs are made of a softer, slower rebounding rubber that improves control and traction.
