Vulpine is the latest race-focused addition to WTB's popular line of Gravel tires. Closely spaced center lugs create a nearly uninterrupted centerline to reduce rolling resistance, while the rest of the tread features short lugs to further increase efficiency, minimize the risk of punctures and provide predictable cornering traction to ensure.
The Vulpine focuses on absolute efficiency without sacrificing traction when climbing or braking. It is the perfect tire for gravel racers who want to be ahead of the curve, but also for everyday riders looking for an efficient tire that performs well on a variety of surfaces including asphalt, hard pavement and gravel, performs excellently.

Efficient button spacing
Closely spaced center lugs create a nearly uninterrupted centerline that reduces rolling resistance, while the rest of the tread features short lugs to further increase efficiency and minimize punctures.
Fast center line
The Vulpine’s smooth rolling surface reduces rolling resistance and improves tread durability, resulting in a longer lifespan than other gravel tires.
Round profile
The overall lug profile mimics a high-volume road tire and provides the same cornering ability over a variety of terrain and conditions.
Tubeless Compatible
TCS (Tubeless Compatible System) is WTB's standardized tubeless system. These tires feature a tubeless TCS casing that virtually eliminates punctures and allows for lower tire pressures to improve traction and comfort compared to traditional tubular tires.
About TSC
WTB's proprietary tubeless sealing system TCS (Tubeless Compatible System) revolutionized rims and tires in 2009 by combining ETRTO, ISO and UST standards with lightweight tubeless rotational weights. Never before had a standards-based tubeless system weighed so little. Being the first sealant-based tire certified for the UST system by Mavic in 2012, TCS continues to push the boundaries of what is possible with purpose-built tires and rims tailored to every discipline of cycling.
TCS Light Fast Rolling (LFR)
A fast and efficient mid-tread compound matched with sticky, low-duration side lugs wraps a supple, gram-conscious carcass that's engineered to be forgiving yet trailworthy.
DUAL DNA rubber compound
Dual DNA is the perfect blend of efficiency, traction and durability. The center tread features a firmer rubber compound that translates into faster rolling and longer durability, while the side lugs are made from softer, slower-rebound rubber that improves control and grip. p>
