WTB Vigilante Tough High Grip Tritec E25 Tubeless 27.5´´ X 2.5 MTB Tire

Aggressive, classy and unwavering... These are all words we used to describe the original Vigilante 2.3, and they still ring true about this updated Vigilante, available in a modern width. The square lugs still provide unwavering grip, but with increased height to ensure they dig even deeper into loose, unpredictable terrain.. The increased circumference allows the tread to stay clean in sticky conditions as the massive outer lugs protect the sidewall as you send it down the roughest rock gardens. TriTec compound: - TriTec blends three different rubber compounds to provide varying levels of traction, support and durability depending on their placement in the tread.. The high durometer rubber provides the foundation for the entire tread pattern and even extends slightly into the base of each lug, providing additional support underneath the softer compounds used in the rest of each lug.. The center lugs feature a medium-duty compound to provide traction and durability without sacrificing rolling efficiency, while the outer lugs feature the softest compound for maximum grip and slow rebound characteristics. TCS Light or TCS Tough?: - TCS Light tires have a single-ply carcass, while TCS Tough tires are dual-ply.. Cross-country 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 gaps between fibres compared to traditional round fibre backing layers.. Increased fibre to rubber ratio improves puncture resistance while reducing weight and improving flexibility compared to our Tough 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: Aggressive tread pattern: - The square lugs provide unwavering traction in a wide range of conditions and really excel in loose, rocky terrain.. The generous spacing between these lugs allows the tread to clear rough conditions while protecting the casing from nasty rocks. Closed slats: - Prevents tread bending and increases cornering stability, as well as extending tread life. Closed sipes provide the extra grip you need on rocks or roots without sacrificing durability. 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 sipe placement has also been updated to improve cornering efficiency, while the higher lug heights prevent the tread from digging in under hard braking. 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 using Vigilante 2.5/2.6/2.8 with Trail Boss 2.4/2.6 in the rear. Compatible with tubeless tires: - TCS (tubeless compatibility 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.
