A huge shipment of new tires has arrived from WTB, the California-based masters of adventure who never fail to satisfy our adventurous spirits!
【WTB】 Venture
650×47b / 700×40c / 700×50c
TCS / Tubeless Compatible System
¥7,800 (excl. tax)
The Venture, which features an all-purpose tread pattern that was well-received in the 650x47b ROAD PLUS size, is now joined by new 700x40c and 700x50c options.
Thanks to its center-slick and file-tread side pattern, it rolls comfortably on paved roads while providing solid grip on unpaved surfaces, making it suitable for a wide range of terrain, including cobblestones, gravel, and dirt.
In particular, while the Nano has been a reliable go-to in the 700x40c size, this Venture features even smoother rolling. This tire is perfect for those who want the 700x40c volume to handle some rough roads, but still want to ride speedily on the pavement to get there.
The 700x50c size is also quite rare; while the number of bikes that can fit it is limited, it is highly recommended for converting 29er mountain bikes into adventure touring rigs. It can also be fitted to the KONA / Sutra LTD, so why not consider it as an option?
【WTB】 Riddler 45
700x45c
TCS / Tubeless Compatible System
¥6,900 (excl. tax)
Originally born as a mountain bike tire, the Riddler has had its pattern updated and refined for gravel and adventure riding.
With its 45mm volume, this is a versatile tire that allows for comfortable long-distance rides, including unpaved sections, while maintaining as much speed as possible across various conditions.
The center features lower knobs, while the sides have larger knobs to provide the rider with a sense of security even when cornering on rough roads.
WTB has released many other tires perfect for gravel and adventure touring, so be sure to check them out! And please feel free to ask us any questions, such as what tire sizes will fit your current bike!
