What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "I’ve used the Byway on everything from mellow pavement to loose gravel climbs. The slick center rolls fast on road, while the outer knobs hook up just right in corners. With the SG2 casing, I don’t stress about punctures even when I’m deep into a long ride. It’s a reliable tire for all-surface adventures."For our biggest gravel epics where the route winds from pavement to hardpack to loose dirt, we trust the WTB Byway 650b tire with SG2 protection. Engineered for adventure riding, the slick centerline delivers smooth efficiency on tarmac, while angular transition grooves and substantial side knobs give us grip and cornering confidence when the pavement ends. The Dual DNA compound balances rolling speed and durability, and WTB's SG2 puncture protection keeps us riding farther with fewer flats thanks to its bead-to-bead shield and tightly woven nylon fibers. Whether we're linking fire roads or weaving through remote backcountry, the Byway's ride feel, reliability, and tubeless ease make it our go-to for multi-surface days.
