Engineered for the rigours of modern MTB riding from enduro racing to gravity, this front-orientated tyre is designed to perform on the most demanding of terrain conditions. Coming equipped with a TriTec compound, it uses its three compounds to provide optimal levels of traction, support, and durability as you tackle whatever the mountain throws at you. WTB has also kitted out this model with E25 compatibility, which means that its sidewall is designed to withstand the additional weight and forces of electric mountain bikes (E-MTB). Its E25 compatibility is constructed with additional material to not only strengthen the tyre and prevent punctures but also to provide additional support throughout the tyre. Coming complete with Tubeless Compatible System (TCS) technology, it offers tubeless benefits such as the ability to run lower tyre pressures for increased stability, comfort and fewer chances of flats or punctures. Trail-Ready MTB Tyre with TCS Tubeless Technology The Verdict is WTB's most aggressive front-focused tyre. The tyre of choice when relentless traction takes priority over rolling efficiency. Designed to dig in every way, the flat profile of the Verdict keeps chunky outer knobs shovelling at all times. Paired to a substantial intermediate channel, this ensures numerous knob edges are biting into the trail while beginning to lean or fully in it. Abundant open space between all knobs allows the Verdict to dig through the driest days of summer and fling mud in the wettest months of spring. The Verdict is guilty of holding it down through off-camber corners and chundery descents. Technologies: 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. 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 tyres feature bead protection for additional defense against pinch flats. TCS Tough/High Grip: Glue-like conforming rubber draped over two full layers of casing leaves no area unprotected. Developed through real testing during the Enduro World Series, TCS Tough tyres can take some serious abuse. Tubeless Compatible System (TCS): TCS is WTB's standardised tubeless rim/tyre system designed to meet international ETRTO standards and provide the most reliable tubeless system available. Pairing WTB’s legendary casings and tread compounds with a Tubeless Folding bead delivers the increased traction and reliability of a tubeless tyre at a lower weight than any tubed alternative. E25 Compatible: Tyres with an E25 icon on the sidewall are designed to withstand the additional weight and forces of modern e-bikes. E25 tyres are constructed with additional material to not only strengthen the tyre and prevent punctures but also provide additional support throughout the tyre.

"Anti-aging" side wall It now lasts much longer before developing unsightly cracks when subjected to use with too low air pressure. Tyre ETRTO: 26x2.1”: 54-559 27.5x2.1”: 54-584 29x2.1”: 54-622
The Ardent doesn't forget the racer with large block-style side knobs offering numerous edges for high-speed cornering. The centre tread, while ideal for braking and accelerating traction, also features ramped knobs to minimize rolling resistance. With a wide variety of size offerings, the Ardent captures every mountain rider's needs. Technologies: Dual Compound Two compounds are used within the tread of select tyres to offer lower rolling resistance and increased cornering grip. EXO Protection Technology An extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of select mountain tyres. This densely woven fabric is also lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tyre remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for exceptionally rocky, treacherous trails where the chance of sidewall cuts and abrasions is high. TR (Tubeless Ready) Technology Tubeless tyres provide the rider with many benefits: the ability to run at lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tyre; and less chance of flatting since there is no tube. Maxxis Tubeless Ready (TR) tyres provide the benefits of a UST tubeless tyre without the weight penalty. Their TR tyres use a standard casing and require the use of a liquid sealant in order to make them airtight. Maxxis Tubeless Ready tyres are the only Maxxis tyres approved for use with liquid sealants.
The tread of this tyre features L-shaped side knobs for a speedy, stable performance over loose turns.

Using a liquid sealant in any non-TR Maxxis tyre will void the warranty. 3C Mountain: Maxxis 3C Triple Compound mountain technology uses a harder, longer lasting base layer and two progressively softer top layers in order to optimize traction and stability. Maxxis offers three different configurations of our 3C Triple Compound mountain technology: Maxx Speed, Maxx Terra and Maxx Grip. MAXX TERRA: 3C Maxx Terra is softer and offers more traction than 3C Maxx Speed, yet provides better treadwear and less rolling resistance than Maxx Grip. The perfect compound if you like to ride exceptionally fast and tackle every obstacle with confidence. Wide Trail (WT): This construction optimises the tyre tread layout and profile on today’s modern wide rims. Traditional tyres are designed around older, narrower rims and create and overly square tyre profile, leading to less than optimal performance. WT tyres obtain peak performance when used with an inner rim width of 35mm but are proven to perform exceptionally with rim widths from 30 - 35mm.
This mountain bike (MTB) tyre is specifically designed for tackling loose terrains on your ride. It features an Endurance compound with balance properties on grip and endurance. With the Endurance compound a high durability in combination with good rolling resistance and grip is achieved. This makes it a compound choice for trail riding or as an endurance-focused compound for electric mountain bike (E-MTBs). Continental has also kitted out this model with supported in-line shoulder studs with a supportive structure for high stability, even when cornering aggressively. This allows you to benefit from a high-level mechanical grip, especially in loose soils and terrain conditions. Another highlight is its open tread pattern design for the perfect interaction on loose surfaces and good self-cleaning in moist and wet conditions. Its pronounced studs are also equipped with steep ramps in order to generate mechanical grip through a pattern-soil interaction. As a result, you'll notice its exceptional grip on loose and mixed surfaces. MTB Tyre with Trail Casing This MTB tyre comes kitted out with a Trail Casing, which offers comparable performance to the Enduro Casing and is tailored for trail use cases and it includes a PT layer. Another highlight is its tubeless ready technology, which allows you to benefit from tubeless advantages such as the ability to run lower tyre pressures for increased comfort, stability and fewer risks of flats or punctures.
Cyclocross World Champion for years. Whether a Pro or just a hardcore rider Grifo is the tyre you need. Unbelievable grip with no rolling resistance compromise. All tubular and open tubular produced by Challenge are special products. Machines are not able to produce them and the manual skill required in each step to obtain a good quality standard is very high. The casing is produced with the latest technical materials like Corespun (a cotton and polyester combination). Corespun is a thread from which we obtain a very supple and strong casing with low weights. The casings have a high TPI count that can reach over 300 tpi. Our production process avoids any vulcanisation process to enable all materials to keep their suppleness and flexibility. The tread is slowly hand glued on the casing which is previously mounted and inflated on a rim. By using this method the tread is relaxed on the casing and does not suffer any tension when inflated. The result of this is a lower rolling resistance, increase in comfort, more precise handling of the bike and better grip. Hand made tubulars are well known by professionals and is this type of tyre that is preferred for the long stage races. To give the best possible grip in curves Challenge uses the most updated materials to obtain flexibility, suppleness and this results in absorption of irregular surfaces giving to the cyclist the best possible contact patch. The wheel avoids jumping and the tyre will deform and absorb the irregularities acting in some way as a shock absorber. A special fabric is placed between the tread and casing to increase puncture resistance PPS (Puncture Protection System) technology. Comfort means reduction of harmful vibrations for the wrists and neck, these vibrations, will end causing inflammatory problems, as a hard tyre will transfer all the vibrations directly to the racer body. Classed as one of the best all-around cyclocross tyres every created by Challenge, this tyre excels in wet, dry, soft packed, rocky and root-infested course conditions. Technologies: Challenge Handmade Clinchers (HCL): These Handmade Clinchers are made from the same materials and processes as our handmade tubulars but instead of sewing an inner tube inside the casing is wrapped around a aramid bead to form a tire that fits on a clincher rim. The HCL is moulded flat, not in a horseshoe like a TLR or VCL. This shape allows the casing to naturally deform over surface imperfections and minimize rolling resistance. A tubeless tire is moulded in a U-shape to make the sidewalls rigid, so the system does not “burp” or lose air when it deforms after it encounters a surface imperfection. The tubeless tire’s stiff sidewall compromises its ability to equal a supple HCL with a latex inner tube.
