WTB Vulpine S TCS Light Fast Rolling SG2 Tubeless 700 X 40 Gravel Tire

The Vulpine is the latest racing addition to WTB's beloved gravel tyre lineup.. Densely spaced center lugs create a nearly continuous centerline to reduce rolling resistance, while the remainder of the tread is filled with short lugs to further enhance efficiency, minimize the likelihood of punctures and provide predictable cornering grip.. The Vulpine focuses on full performance without sacrificing grip on climbs or braking and is the ideal tyre for gravel racers looking to lead, as well as daily riders looking for a high-performance tyre that excels on a variety of surfaces including tarmac, hardpack and gravel.. Peculiarities: Round profile: - The overall lug profile mimics a high-volume road tire, providing the same confident cornering on a variety of surfaces and conditions. 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. TCS Tubeless Ready: - TCS (Tubeless Compatible System) - is a standardized WTB tubeless rim/tire system. TCS tubeless-ready compliant tires eliminate the need for tubes, reduce weight and provide lower tire pressures for improved traction and comfort compared to traditional tube-type tires. SG2 puncture protection: - SG2 is our puncture protection technology that provides bead-to-bead coverage, ensuring both the tread and sidewall are protected from cuts and punctures.. The nylon fibers in SG2 have a unique flat profile, which reduces the amount of rubber needed to fill the spaces between the fibers.. Improving the fibre to rubber ratio improves puncture resistance, reduces weight and improves overall tyre durability. While SG2 is primarily a puncture protection layer, the tightly woven fibers also improve air retention for better pressure maintenance between rides. Double DNA: - Dual DNA rubber compound combines harder, faster rolling center sections with softer, grippier shoulders for optimal performance and weight. Additionally, each tire features SG's proven puncture protection for durability and reliability on any terrain.. SG puncture protection: - WTB's SG tires start with a level of material specifically designed to provide superior sidewall protection and increased air retention in high-pressure tires. - Sidewall protection: The additional layer protects the most vulnerable areas of the tire and improves air retention in high-pressure tires. Specifications: - Width: 40 mm - The weight: 517 g - TPI: 120tpi - Compound: dual DNA - Board: Folding tubeless - Tire size designation: 40-622 - GMS: 19-24 mm Technology: - TCS (Tubeless Compatible System) - is our industry-leading tubeless rim/tyre system, designed to meet international ETRTO and ISO standards. - WTB's SG tires start with a level of material specifically designed to provide superior sidewall protection and increased air retention in high-pressure tires. - Sidewall protection: The additional layer protects the most vulnerable areas of the tire and improves air retention in high-pressure tires. - A single layer of flexible, gram-sensitive carcass adapts to the terrain, delivering maximum performance, exceptional reliability and low rotational weight. - Specially designed to prioritize rolling efficiency, as well as reliable traction and durability. - With SG2, which protects all surfaces of the tyre, providing a continuous layer of nylon puncture protection that spans from bead to bead.
