What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I've run the Vulpine on everything from dusty gravel to hardpack pavement, and it's one of the fastest-feeling tires I've used. The 120tpi casing gives it a super supple ride, and the puncture-resistant layer gives me peace of mind on rougher sections. It's my go-to for long gravel races."For those of us who chase podiums and PRs on rolling gravel courses, the WTB Vulpine 120tpi with SG protection is the kind of tire that feels fast from the first pedal stroke. This version brings race-level performance to the forefront with a supple, high-thread-count casing and lightweight, bead-to-bead protection that keeps us rolling fast and flat-free. The Dual DNA compound blends a firmer center strip for speed and durability with softer side tread for traction in turns, giving us a confident ride over mixed terrain. The tightly packed center knobs create near-uninterrupted contact for smooth rolling on pavement and hardpack, while the low-profile shoulders help hold the line when cornering loose over firm. The Vulpine is built for gravel events, long-distance rides, and anyone who wants maximum efficiency without giving up control.
