Tire WTB Vigilante Light Fast Rolling Dual DNA SG2 Tubeless 29´´ X 2.3 MTB

Introduced back in 2013, the Vigilante 2.3 remains synonymous with aggressive off-road and enduro riding. Raised lugs bite into any surface, wet or dry, and provide support at high speeds. The large distance between the lugs allows it to evacuate the tread, biting into loose, uneven tracks.. The Vigilante grips at lean angles like no other and is the tire of choice for off-road and enduro riders who want a tire that won't let them down when it matters most.. Looking for everyone's favorite aggressive tire with a wider width and updated design? Check out Vigilante 2.5/2.6/2.8. Dual DNA Compound: - Dual DNA is the perfect combination of performance, grip and durability. The center line of the tread features a harder rubber compound that boasts faster rolling and increased durability, while the side lugs are made up of a softer, slower rebounding rubber that improves control and traction.. In other words... speed where you need it and grip where you need it. TCS Light or TCS Tough?: - TCS Light tires have a single-ply carcass, while TCS Tough tires have a dual-ply carcass.. XC and trail racers often choose TCS Light tires for their minimal weight, while enduro, gravity and e-bike riders prefer TCS Tough for the added durability and cornering support.. Some riders choose TCS Light at the front, where the weight is more noticeable, and TCS Tough at the rear, where the beefier tire is beneficial.. Most of our TCS Light mountain tires feature Slash Guard technology, which provides a protective nylon insert that spans the entire sidewall to provide extra puncture protection without the weight of a dual-ply carcass. SG2 puncture protection: - TCS Light single-ply mountain tyres available with SG2 puncture protection. SG2 is a lightweight nylon layer that protects all areas of the tire with an extra level of puncture and crush protection. The SG2 bead-to-bead design also improves sidewall stability and overall tire support without the added weight of a rigid (two-layer) frame. - The flat nylon fibres in SG2 reduce the amount of rubber required to fill the spaces between the fibres compared to traditional round fibre backing layers.. Increased fiber to rubber ratio improves puncture resistance while reducing weight and improving flexibility compared to our rigid carcasses. Third-party lab testing has shown that SG2 bead-to-bead provides 80% more sidewall protection than traditional single-ply tires without SG2. Peculiarities: Prominet ledges: - Square lugs bite into wet or dry surfaces for unwavering grip, while their consistent placement provides predictable stability and confidence at high speeds. Reinforced side rails: - The tall side lugs are supported by a raised base that prevents the lugs from folding under the shamelessly strong turning forces.. The sidewalls have perpendicular sipes to increase traction when braking while cornering. Front-facing design: - Everything about the Vigilante has been designed to improve cornering grip as a front tire. Aggressive outer lugs bite into corners, while directional sipes grip rocks and roots in both wet and dry conditions.. We recommend combining the Vigilante 2.3 with the Trail Boss 2.25 at the rear. Compatible with tubeless tires: - Most Vigilante 2.3 tyres are equipped with a TCS tubeless casing. 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 to be used for improved traction and comfort compared to traditional tube-type tires.
