Nano Comp FAAAASSSTT!!!!! The Nano 40c is built for speed, and let’s just politely say it delivers. A 40mm, rounded profile and an elevated centerline provide enough volume for lower tyre pressures and a smoother ride while still reducing drag and rolling resistance. This makes for an all out gravel destroyer that can still appease those clamoring for a truly big cyclocross tire. Winner? WTB and Wiggle think so. So does superhuman, beyond endurance athlete, Jay Petervary. DNA Rubber Compound WTB's proprietary 60 durometer rubber compound offers the ideal mix of rolling efficiency and traction for XC and trail riding applications. DNA rubber is renowned for being versatile and long lasting. Durable Casing A robust and substantial casing provides the strength needed for WTB's wire bead tyres to last. A high ratio of rubber to thread protects against trail threats and urban unpleasantries.
All set for fast and fun off-road adventures, this brilliant component features a medium padding thickness and subtle curves. This makes it perfect for weaving from trail to trail with power and precision while its upward curved tail and gentle drop in its nose give you something to lean against. Keeping you supported and in full control, this stunning version comes kitted out with carbon rails which deliver phenomenal stiffness when climbing and no unnecessary weight holding you back when descending.
Vigilante TCS Light Fast Rolling Born from the need to race in European enduro events, the Vigilante is our premier aggressive All Mountain tyre, and first choice for Team WTB’s Mark Weir. The square-lugged, open-tread pattern offers stability in loose or wet terrain, while the stiff outside knobs grip at lean angles like nobody’s business. With Dual DNA (TCS) and Gravity DNA (Team Issue) rubber, this is the tyre to ride when you are giving it your all. Tubeless Compatible System (TCS) Tubeless Compatible System: Standards-driven system designed around tubeless bead shapes and hooks to create repeated sealant-based consistency between tire and rim. Dual DNA Rubber 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. Lightweight Casing A supple, gram-conscious carcass designed to be compliant and conform to trail objects while still providing a happy balance of low rotational weight and rugged reliability.
A rounded profile and staggered, supported side knobs keep clamouring for traction even as the trail loses its camber. Want to go out and own it? Be the Trail Boss.
Don't feel flat, fit the WTB TCS Rim Tape for a long-lasting inflated feeling. What width of TCS Tubeless rim tape do I need? WTB recommends using tape that is 5mm wider than the inner rim width, which is measured as the distance between the inside edges of the bead hooks of a rim.
The tread has wide spacing between the knobs to clear mud quicker when it gets wet and this tyre can be used in a tubeless setup, enabling you to ride with lower pressures for even better cornering grip. Technologies: TCS Tubeless: TCS tyres boast the ride benefits of a tubeless tyre with the reduced weight of a non-UST tyre. TCS tyres combine WTB's lightweight casing with a sealant tubeless, UST compliant bead. TCS Light: A supple, tubeless compatible and lightweight carcass designed to be compliant and conform to trail objects while still providing a happy balance of low rotational weight and rugged reliability.

In addition to the ridged surface, the scaly design on these flat bar grips delivers an unshakeable grip in any trail conditions.
The multi-layered construction of the tubeless Supple Casing delivers a soothingly smooth ride quality without deteriorating under rough or rugged conditions.
This high-quality electric bike (E-bike) rim is perfect for off-road riding as it features 4D angled spoke drilling, which eliminates binding and lateral loading, and disperses tension more evenly over a greater area. Ready for hitting the trails, this model's symmetric outer profile offers equal dissipation of impact forces on both sides, while its asymmetric spoke hole drilling allows for even spoke tension and increased wheel strength. Durable, Thick Walled Rim E-bikes add to the riding experience by simply providing more for less. More distance, more laps, more climbs and more descents. With all those “mores” also comes more weight continually bashing on the components of an e-bike. In order to overcome the increased forces induced by the technological progression of modern e-bikes, WTB designed its HTZ rims with more material in every area of the rim prole. Every wall of the rim is 25-30% thicker in comparison to those on WTB's standard rims, which WTB then paired with its proven I-Beam centre support to ensure no beating was too great for these rims. All HTZ rims are TCS 2.0 tubeless, feature asymmetrical spoke drilling, and are available in widths ranging from i23 to i35 in order to provide options for e-bikes ranging from e-assist gravel bikes to dual-crown downhill bikes that no longer need a truck to be shuttled. Tubeless Ready E-Bike Rim TCS 2.0 Tubeless ready and comes with a preinstalled Solid Strip, which lies beneath the tubeless tape and prevents sagging at the spoke holes, creating a smooth interface between the rim and tire bead. This prevents air from escaping around the bead and therefore requires less air volume and pressure to mount a tire. Solid Strip also protects the airtight tubeless system from being punctured in the case of a broken spoke. TCS 2.0 creates a more robust, easily installed and dependable tubeless system.
