WTB Trail Boss Tough Fast Rolling Tritec E25 Tubeless 27.5´´ X 2.4 MTB Tire

Designed to improve on the beloved Trail Boss 2.25, the wider Trail Boss 2.4/2.6 is refined with a more aggressive tread pattern to match its increased width.. The large lug spacing provides better traction on loose or wet roads while staying true to its fast-running heritage.. Large, supportive side knobs bite deep whether you're leaning into a corner or grabbing the brakes. Most often used as a rear tire, the Trail Boss 2.4 also provides plenty of grip as a front tire on hard trails. 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: Uncompromising protector: - Some tires are semi-slick and fast, while others are thick and grippy.. Trail Boss is designed as a mid-level off-road tire.. The dense arrangement of the central lugs reduces rolling resistance without hesitating to bite in during braking. High outer lugs provide quick traction early in cornering. Strategically directed lamella formation: - The center and intermediate lugs are sipes in a direction that improves grip during acceleration and braking by increasing the number of working edges that bite into the track when you pedal or apply the brakes.. The outer lugs have sipes that run parallel to the tire to provide the lug surface with more grip when cornering. Rear-facing design: - The Trail Boss 2.4/2.6 features serrated lugs that maximize traction under braking, while their relatively close spacing improves rear tire durability by increasing the overall surface area to resist heavy braking forces.. Significant sidewall knobs extend over the sidewall of the tire, protecting it from cuts when you steer the rear end. We suggest combining the Trail Boss 2.4/2.6 with the Vigilante 2.5/2.6 at the front. 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.
