Description

The set-it-and-forget-it gravel tire for riders who want steadfast traction on a wide range of surfaces, the WTB Venture Light tire is ideal for use on pavement, hardpack, dirt and gravel.

Features
  • Dual DNA Compound features a firmer rubber on the centerline tread for faster rolling and durability; side knobs have softer, slower-rebounding rubber for control and grip
  • Elevated centerline ridges and dense intermediate peaks conform to any terrain during out-of-the-saddle efforts
  • Two rows of outer knobs provide both the support and sidewall protection you need to really push it in the corners
  • Tightly-spaced centerline tread provides a smooth, efficient ride on pavement and hardpack surfaces
  • Centerline tread also has the grooves and knob edges needed to maximize accelerating and braking traction on loose dirt and gravel surfaces
  • Tightly spaced, supple intermediate ridges provide a nearly continuous contact patch for efficiency; ridges conform to terrain, increasing traction and cornering confidence
  • Large, high-volume footprint allows for more of the working edges of the tread to be in contact with the terrain
  • Increased surface contact between the tread and terrain results in more traction without the need for tall knobs that reduce rolling efficiency
  • SG2 puncture protection technology provides bead-to-bead coverage to ensure both the tread and sidewall are protected from slashes and punctures
  • TCS (Tubeless Compatible System) tubeless casing reduces the risk of flats and allows lower tire pressures to improve traction and comfort vs. a traditional tube-type tire
  • TCS Light Casing tires feature one layer of casing to minimize rotational weight while increasing the overall liveliness of the tire
