Tires

The latest generation of the World-Cup-proven intermediate tire, the Butcher GRID TRAIL 2Bliss Ready, receives an entirely new tread pattern. Wider shoulder knobs better support load under hard cornering, while the biting edges of the shoulder knobs are moved further inside, and the center blocks have been staggered and spaced better for a smoother transition when leaning the bike over. Meanwhile, our proprietary GRIPTON compound improves high-frequency damping, attaching the tire to the ground better on both small bumps and rough sections. The low frequencies of the rolling tire deflections pass through unfiltered, leaving no energy absorbed and keeping speed high. Once you ride the Butcher, you'll never want another tire for your gravity excursions. Our new GRID TRAIL casing is stiffer, delivering better handling at lower pressures—all while increasing pinch flat protection by 15% and puncture protection by 30%. It's the perfect choice for your gravity excursions—one ride and you'll be hooked. Building on this solid base, the high-dampening T9 Gripton compound rebounds slowly to grip and stick to the ground for total traction and control. - Casing: 60tpi light yet tough with additional bead to bead protection for exceptional durability, sidewall stiffness, and stability. - Bead: Foldable - Butyl wrapped bead = 2Bliss Ready - Compound: GRIPTON T9 - 29 x 2.3", psi 25-50, approximate weight 975g - 29 x 2.6", psi 20-40, approximate weight 1050g

The Zipp G40 XPLR is a wide (40mm) tire designed for control, which translates in the gravel world to higher overall speed. In developing this tire, Zipp began with a speed-carrying chevron center-tread pattern that transitions to an inverted soccer cleat design, then added XC-style knobs on the edges that offer the ability to dig in when you need it. And, amid all this, durability was crucial. The tire's casing and bead-to-bead puncture protection strip navigates the fine line between supple and stiff so that grip and performance do not suffer while making an incredibly durable gravel tire. The tire's 40mm width was carefully selected to be most effective with its tread pattern while also fulfilling riders' evolving preferences for wider tires during gravel events and off-pavement riding.

Judge with SG1 is our rowdiest and toughest rear-focused tire. Centerline knobs alternate between long and wide to provide the hard braking traction and efficiency required of a rear tire. Burly outer knobs provide support and dig in to keep you glued threw off-camber corners. Judge features a flatter tire profile than most other tires, which makes it easier to reach the outer knobs when cornering. The Judge keeps everything in order, whether dry and loose or wet and sloppy. SG1 puncture protection runs under the tread cap and has extended bead protection. Big Knobs, Big Sipes Massive knobs in every area of the tread prove that the Judge prioritzes traction above all else. Long, thick knobs till through rocky terrain without folding under heavy cornering forces. Each knob features full-length siping to essentially double the amount of knob edges contacting the trail. Flat-Top Profile The side-to-side tread arc of the Judge is "flatter" than most tires, which results in the side knobs engaging sooner while cornering compared to a tire with a rounder profile. This allows the side knobs to dig into the terrain quicker and deeper, which improves cornering traction on loose, off-camber trails. Rear-Focused Design Judge features wide, blocky knobs that maximize braking traction and improve the longevity of the tire. The side knobs overhang the sidewall of the tire to protect it from slashes while you're steering with the rear. We suggest pairing the Judge with a Verdict 2.5 or Vigilante 2.5 on the front. TCS Tubeless-Ready TCS (Tubeless Compatible System) is WTB's standardized tubeless system. These tires feature a TCS tubeless-ready casing, which nearly eliminates flats and allows lower tire pressures to improve traction and comfort over a traditional tube-type tire.
