No-Compromise Tread

Tight groupings of center knobs cut down on rolling resistance without hesitating to dig in while braking. Tall outer knobs quickly provide traction in the earliest phases of cornering. Strategic placement of tread encourages effective shedding of snow keeping the knobs clear to deliver traction. Did you know you can also run this puppy in reverse for those seeking max traction when climbing something gnarly... not Everest, but you get the point.

Strategically Directional Siping

Center and intermediate knobs are siped in a direction that improves accelerating and braking traction by increasing the amount of working edges that bite into the snow when you crank on the pedals or slam on the brakes. Outer knobs feature sipes that run parallel to the tire in order to improve cornering traction.

Snow focused testing and design

When several of our amazing bike partners in Canada approached up to make a snow tire, we were skeptical at first, I mean, we are based in California. So we looked to our experts, the snow experts in Vermont where they are covered in snow, four months out of the year. This tire went through so many revisions to get it just right, kinda like goldilocks and the three bears. It took time, but we got it right and can't wait for you to shred on it.

TCS Tubeless-Ready

TCS (Tubeless Compatible System) is WTB's standardized tubeless system. Versions with a TCS tubeless-ready casing benefit from reduced flats and allows lower tire pressures to improve traction and comfort over a traditional tube-type tire.

TCS Tubeless-Ready

Technology

TCS (Tubeless Compatible System) is our industry-leading tubeless rim/tire system designed to international ETRTO and ISO standards.

One layer of supple, gram-conscious casing conforms to the terrain to provide maximum performance, exceptional reliability, and low rotational weight.

Soft yet supportive knobs conform to the trail and rebound slowly to provide maximum traction on loose, rocky terrain regardless of wet or dry conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is different about your special winter compound?

Our winter compound is a specially formulated version of our High Grip compound developed to maintain maximum traction at temperatures below freezing.

Do I need the studded version?

So when it comes down to it, do you want a studded or non-studded tire? The studded version is going to provide more bite in icy conditions. There are over 300 stud pockets in the Bailiff tire, you can pick and choose your pattern. He has put in over 200 hours in sub zero conditions testing this tire in Vermonts' finest snow storms to make sure this tire was up to snuff and preferred the studded version for that extra traction and control.

Now sure what configuration of studs is best for you?

Check out our stud guide here. Our stud pockets are compatible with Terene, 45N, and most other commonly found fat bike studs for those looking to customize their tire.

Featuring TCS Light High Grip

TCS Light tires feature a single-ply casing, which offer minimal weight. You are already bundled up enough on a Fat Bike, why not save a little weight on your tires.

Passed the test

This tire came stock on my new fat bike so instead of paying for a set of new studded tires$$$ I decided to buy the WTB studs and stud them myself. I rode these tires all winter where conditions varied from a few inches of fresh snow over dirt to freshly groomed trails to the trails being almost entirely ice. These tires did not disappoint in any condition and no studs were lost.

The Tires Shred

This tire is basically a wider Wrathlorde copycat that you can self-stud coming in 27. 5x4. 5". No more 45NRTH XL concave studs that shed like my dog in the spring and cost $$ to restud every ride. Fully studded DIY these things grip like velcro and absolutely shred hard if you like your fat biking like your mountain biking. Steep and fast, with aggressive cornering on rougher trails. Get yourself over the front and have too much fun cornering like a maniac.

Hard pack - Roots - Ice - Snow - Fully Studded

I fully studded the tire immediately and put it on the front. This has all the ice traction I remember from being on Ice Spiker tires. It railed flat asphalt corners and then into the trees. It took on the chunder of a foot-packed trail and tracked well. In the corners with light snow over the foot-packed it did not let me down as I pushed the corners. The next ride included small jumps, roots, wooden tech features, punchy climbs, and puckery descents (blues and blacks in the summer trail ratings) all under lite snow cover over snow and ice. This is a very well thought out tire. Pick your poison for the suggested stud patterns and get out there. It will be awesome front and rear.

Grips the Snow

This is a solid tire. Have been running it for 2 months and it grips the snow well.
