WTB Venture TCS Light Fast Rolling SG2 Tubeless 650B X 47 Gravel Tire

Among our most versatile drop bar tires, the Venture delivers optimal performance across the widest range of conditions to serve as a truly set-it-and-forget-it gravel tire for riders who require traction on a variety of surfaces.. Raised centerline ridges provide consistent working edges that bite in as you climb a hill or lean into a turn. Two rows of outer lugs provide confidence no matter how hard you turn, and also provide significant sidewall protection. The Venture is the tire to choose when your destination is unknown but you're sure to encounter a variety of terrain along the way. Specifications - The large contact patch of each Venture tire allows more working edges of the tread to remain in contact with the surface at all times. - The rounded profile with vertical grooves improves cornering performance. - The large volume frame provides a comfortable ride. - Dual compound rubber means a fast rolling tyre with excellent cornering grip. Usage: gravel / bikepacking Terms and Conditions: asphalt / hard ground / mud / gravel / loose Wheel size: 650b Width: 47 mm Level: TCS light/fast rolling The weight: +- 617 g Composition: double DNA rubber frame: single layer 120 tpi Puncture protection: SG2 SG2 puncture protection Most sizes of this tyre are available with our all-new SG2 puncture protection, which is a lightweight nylon insert that provides bead-to-bead coverage and ensures every area of the tyre is protected from cuts and punctures.. As events get rougher and cyclists pedal further, the gravel gets tougher. For gravel tires, it also makes sense to become harder. - Nylon fibers have a flat profile, which reduces the amount of rubber needed to fill the spaces between the fibers and minimizes weight. - The SG2 Protected Gravel Tires feature a 120tpi carcass which improves responsiveness over a traditional 60tpi tire. - SG2 was specifically designed as a puncture protection layer, but it also improves air retention and eliminates sidewall leakage.
