Just released, the new WTB Vulpine is a race-focused 700 x 36mm gravel tire with a fast-rolling tread and long lifespan. Find details and photos here…
WTB’s new Vulpine is a race-focused gravel tire named after their semi-slick cross-country tire that prioritized speed above all else. Tightly spaced center knobs form a nearly uninterrupted centerline that decreases rolling resistance while the rest of the tread is packed with short knobs to further promote efficiency and minimize punctures. The overall knob profile is said to mimic a high-volume road tire, which allows it to provide predictable cornering confidence on a variety of different surfaces.
The Vulpine tread features Dual DNA Compound, which combines the strategically placed characteristics of two different rubber compounds within the tread of a single tire. Supportive centerline rubber delivers optimal rolling efficiency and tread longevity while softer rubber throughout the outer edges of the tread increases cornering confidence across varied terrain and conditions. All Vulpine tires are tubeless compatible and are also available with WTB’s SG2 puncture protection layer for bead-to-bead protection against flats and punctures.
Vulpine is available in a 700 x 36mm size with three different configurations ranging from 381 to 434 grams. Versions with a 60 tpi casing are available in black or tan sidewalls for an MSRP of $65.95. Vulpine is also available with a 120 tpi casing featuring SG2 puncture protection and black sidewalls for an MSRP of $76.95. All three versions are currently available at WTB.com. North American WTB dealers should have the Vulpine in the next few weeks, followed by shops in Europe by February.
