Wtb Byway Tcs Light Fast Rolling Sg2 Tubeless 700c X 40 Gravel Tyre

Byway is for days of endless hardpack exploration and gravel grinding while also providing noticeable efficiency on any pavement linking it all together. A swiftly smooth centerline is paired to a textured intermediate section that provides a seamless transition onto small outer knobs for unwavering traction in loose dirt and gravel. Prominent outer knobs also extend down the sidewall to provide an additional level of defense from roadside unpleasantries of all shapes and sizes.Features- Smooth centerline for efficiency with diamond shaped outer knobs for grip in the dirt.- High volume tire enables comfortable ride.- Dual Compound rubber means a fast rolling tire with great corning traction.Usage: Adventure Road/GravelConditions: Pavement/Hardpack/Dirt/GravelWheel size: 700cWidth: 44 mm Level: TCS Light/Fast Rolling Weight: +- 525 g Compound: Dual DNACasing: single-ply 120 tpiPuncture protection: SG2 About TSCWTB's proprietary sealant tubeless system, TCS (Tubeless Compatible System,) revolutionized rims and tires in 2009 when combining ETRTO, ISO, and UST standards with light tubeless rotational weights. Never before had a standards-based tubeless system weighed so little. Certified as the first sealant-based tires for the UST system in 2012 by Mavic, TCS continues to push the boundaries of what's possible through purpose-built tires and rims tailor-made for every discipline of cycling.

SG2 Puncture protectionMost sizes of this tire 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 tire is defended against slashes and punctures. As events become progressively rougher and cyclists pedal farther, gravel gets tougher. It only makes sense for gravel tires to become tougher as well.- Nylon fibers have a flat profile, which reduces the amount of rubber needed to fill the gaps between fibers and minimizes weight.- Protected SG2 gravel tires feature a 120tpi casing, which improves suppleness compared to a traditional 60tpi tire.- SG2 was specifically designed to be a puncture protection layer, but it also improves air retention and eliminates seeping at the sidewall.Dual DNA Rubber compound Dual DNA is the perfect mix of efficiency, traction and durability. The centerline tread features a firmer rubber compound that boasts faster rolling and increased durability, while the side knobs are composed of softer, slower-rebounding rubber that improves control and grip.
