WTB Byway TCS Tubeless 700C X 40 Gravel Tyre

Our most off-road-focused Road Plus tire, the Byway Road Plus, delivers plush, oversized grip and a smooth ride even on unpaved roads. Byway Road Plus tires allow riders to feel comfortable on remote gravel roads without feeling slow on the pavement needed to get there. Peculiarities: - Smooth centerline for efficiency with diamond-shaped outer lugs for traction on uneven ground - Large volume tires provide a comfortable ride - Dual compound rubber means the tyre rolls quickly with excellent cornering grip Specifications: - Usage: Road/Gravel - Terms and Conditions: Paving/Mixed/Soil - Wheel size: 650b - Width: 47 mm - Level: Road Plus TCS - The weight: 535 g - Composition: Dual Composition DNA Rubber - ETRTO Compatible Inner Rim Width: 17C-29C Technology: - WTB's patented tubeless sealing system, TCS (Tubeless System compatible,) revolutionized rims and tires in 2009 by combining ETRTO, ISO and UST standards with lightweight tubeless rotating weights. Never before has a standards-based tubeless system weighed so little. Certified as the first sealant-based tire for the UST system in 2012 by Mavic, TCS continues to push the boundaries of what is possible with purpose-built tires and rims made specifically for each cycling discipline.. Learn more about the possibilities at wtb.com/tcs Dual DNA rubber compound: - Dual DNA is the perfect combination of performance, grip and durability. The center line of the tread is made of a harder rubber compound that provides faster rolling and increased durability, while the side lugs are made of a softer, slower rebounding rubber that improves control and traction.. road plus: - WTB Road Plus tires provide flexible, large-size grip and smooth ride characteristics beyond where the pavement ends.. Each of our Road Plus models combines a smooth centerline with varying levels of outer tread/lugs, providing varying degrees of cornering stability and traction to suit specific use conditions.. The high-volume road provides deceptively smooth performance on tarmac with stability that won't waver when chasing trusted individuals down dusty dirt roads.. Put it in a cross bike, put it in a road frame, the overall diameter will remain the same as a 700 x 30mm road tire. Ride it on asphalt, take it out onto dirt roads. Create a new riding experience no matter where your exploits take you. Large handlebar sizes for drop handlebars: - It just makes sense, perfect sense.. Why not get the benefits of being bigger without slowing down? Extra tubeless compliance with high volume dampens road noise, gravel vibrations and dirt imperfections. All the benefits of Road Plus are available on Horizon and Byway TCS tyres. Fits modern Endurance frames: - The Road Plus retains the same geometry as the existing Endurance road bikes, but adds a larger 650b tubeless wheel and tire in place of the 700c.. With the Road Plus TCS 650b x 47c tires sharing the same overall wheel diameter as a 700 x 30c tire, only slightly more chainstay clearance is required than a traditional road tire.. Pair it with a Ci24 Carbon or KOM i23/i25 650b TCS rim and you'll have a light, bulky, fast-rolling setup without having to go back to the drawing board to design a frame..
