Kitted out with an ultra-protective ATC (Advanced Trail Casing), it uses K-Armor material to stop slashes and rips from bringing your ride to a halt. Made from a dual-layer compound, this tough and grippy tyre saves weight and assists with cornering control, keeping you upright and unrivalled over unpredictable terrains Dual Compound, Fast-Rolling MTB Tyre Fit for the most daring off-road adventures, this take on the Nevegal generates impressively low rolling resistance thanks to the siped, square knobs which make up the centreline. The outer edges put their taller, angled blocks to great use to improve braking traction in any conditions, making this Kenda tyre an essential pick for the modern MTBer. Technologies: ATC: Optimized for aggressive cross country or trail riding, the Advanced Trail Casing (ATC) is lighter and more supple than either of Kenda's gravity solutions. Using sheets of Kenda's SCT fabric across the tire sidewalls and a sub-tread belt of K-Armor under the tread blocks. The K-Armor fabric has a tighter weave, resulting in the use of less rubber during the construction process, yielding a lighter tire and a casing that is supple enough to allow the knobs to flex and form under load, yet still protects from pinch flats, punctures and cuts.
Keeping you in full control of the ride, this MTB tyre is Kenda's dry condition gravity tyre. It was exclusively developed with pro downhill mountain bike rider Aaron Gwin and used on World Cup tracks like Leogang and Lenzerheide. This ensures that is more than capable of holding its own against the toughest of competitions and off-road adventures. Kenda has made this versatile MTB tyre available in AGC or ATC casing options, so riders can choose a tyre that perfectly matches their riding style. The Pinner shines with excellent cornering predictability and particularly high puncture protection. This makes it an excellent choice for gravity racers and trail riders alike. - Excellent Predictability: A consistent contact patch when the bike is leaned over creates a super predictable feel - no sudden wash-outs - Optimised for Hard Pack: The tread pattern is done to work best on hardpack, rocky or rooty and loose over hard conditions. - AGC or ATC Casing Options: Choose the AGC casing for gravity riding, or ATC for a lighter trail tyre - Tubeless ready - Topo Design: Unique and stand-out topographic design pattern over the sidewalls and tread Technologies: AGC (AGC): THE MOST ADVANCED GRAVITY SOLUTION The Advanced Gravity Casing (AGC) is Kenda‘s latest innovation for gravity orientated riders. Utilizing strips of Kenda Vector Shield (KVS), a lightweight woven aramid material, positioned under the tread area and along the sidewalls to protect the tire from cuts and punctures. The KVS material offers nearly three times more cut resistance than standard protective materials. A 20 mm apex along the bead prevents pinch flats and burping. Our lightest and strongest gravity casing up to date. ATC (ATC): THE LIGHTER WAY Tire construction optimized for aggressive cross country or trail riding, the Advanced Trail Casing (ATC) is lighter and more supple than either of Kenda's gravity solutions. Using sheets of Kenda's SCT fabric across the tire sidewalls and a sub-tread belt of K-Armor under the tread blocks. The K-Armor fabric has a tighter weave, resulting in the use of less rubber during the construction process, yielding a lighter tire and a casing that is supple enough to allow the knobs to flex and form under load, yet still protects from pinch flats, punctures and cuts. DUAL LAYER COMPOUND: Kenda developed this compound for a new generation of gravity tyres - an evolution of the existing Race Stick-E Rubber (RSR) compound. Building on the impressive original, the new RSR compound is a dual layer tread rubber, with the soft RSR compound on top and the stiff SRC on bottom. This new dual layer compound offers better performance because the stiff bottom SRC layer serves as the hard foundation for the softer RSR layer to push against. The result is a compound that provides better control and lasts longer than previous versions. DUAL TREAD COMPOUND: Dual Tread Compound (DTC) is a combination of two different rubber compounds: L3R Pro (center knobs) and Stick-E rubber (corner knobs). DTC rubber is most commonly found on cross country, all-mountain, and cyclocross tires due to its rolling speed and grip.
Whether you're exploring the countryside back roads at the weekend or taking part in a cyclocross event, this versatile gravel bike tyre is engineered for performance. It features a raised, consistent centreline tread for minimal rolling resistance, while its long staggered knobs provide excellent traction without cutting down on speed. Tubeless Ready Cyclocross Tyre Nano 40 is built for speed. A nearly uninterrupted centreline provides swift efficiency on hardpack terrain while staggered outer knobs allow you to stay on the gas while hammering up chunky climbs or hanging on through loose gravel corners. The high-volume 40mm casing allows for lower tyre pressures and a smoother ride while still reducing drag and rolling resistance. This makes for an all-out gravel destroyer that still appeases those clamouring for a truly big cyclocross tyre. TCS Light/Fast Rolling versions of the Nano 40 tyre (this version) provide ultimate tubeless reliability for gravel or cyclocross racing. SG2 Puncture Protection These tyres are available with WTB's SG2 Puncture Protection, which is a lightweight nylon insert that provides bead-to-bead coverage and ensures every area of the tyre is defended against slashes and punctures. As events become progressively rougher and cyclists pedal farther, gravel gets tougher. It only makes sense for gravel tyres to become tougher as well. Technologies: Dual DNA Compound: Two rubber compounds. The centerline tread features a firmer rubber compound that rolls fast and resists tread wear while the side knobs are composed of softer, slower-rebounding rubber to improve control and grip. All Dual DNA tyres fall within the Fast Rolling category. SG2 Puncture Protection: Nylon fibres have a flat profile, which reduces the amount of rubber needed to fill the gaps between fibres and minimises weight. SG2 was specifically designed to be a puncture protection layer, but it also improves air retention and eliminates seeping at the sidewall. Tyre Pressure Information: WTB's tyre pressure recommendations have changed over time due to further developments in technology. Riders may always reference the markings on their tyres for allowed pressures ranges, but WTB calculate pressure recommendations based on an average rider weight of 160-180 lbs and suggest increasing the minimum recommended pressure by 2-3psi for every additional 10 lbs of rider weight. Never exceed the maximum tyre pressure marked on a tyre.

The bold tread pattern of this tyre has been designed to eject gravel and dirt as your ride, while also keeping rolling resistance low for a super-fast acceleration power. Longer, staggered knobs keep grip for extra stability and outer-edge bumps give you an advantage when it comes to cornering. Plus, the tubeless compatibility ensures an extra tractional advantage for wide, low profile rims. Nano is built for speed. The nearly uninterrupted centerline provides swift efficiency on hardpack terrain while staggered outer knobs allow you to stay on the gas while hammering up chunky climbs or hanging on through loose gravel corners. The high-volume 40mm casing smooths out jarring gravel while also reducing drag and rolling resistance. This makes for an all-out gravel destroyer that still appeases those clamoring for a truly big cyclocross tyre. Everybody's irrefutable favourite. WTB tanwall tyres blend retroesque looks with modern technology to create an iconic look that has become synonymous with high-performance gravel. Looks aside, gram counters may choose our tan tyres because the compounds used to make them are slightly lighter than those used to manufacture black sidewalls.
