WTB Vigilante TGS 29x2.3in tyre


WTB'S ENDURO INSPIRED all-rounder has consistently impressed us.

With a relatively chunky 56.6mm width it can bounce you around a little at higher pressures, but drop it to 25psi and the grip from the split-top Dual DNA compound knobs increases dramatically delivering confident adhesion in arangeofwettoloose conditions without noticeably increasing rolling resistance. Like all of WTB's 

TCS tyres, it blows up tubeless easily and securely. The standard tyre weighs 810g and there's also an AM version with a tougher -albeit 100g heavier - casing for the hard-hitters out there. It comes in 26in and 650b diameters too.

PRICE 61$
