Product description

Built for unfaltering speed through a wide range of conditions, the Riddler delivers swift efficiency for riders who value traction but still prioritize leading the pack at the end of a long ride. Looking for a gravel tread that keeps your legs on their game for hours on end while also accommodating longer dirt tours with ease? The Riddler is equally at home on your local cyclocross course or gravel B-road.

Semi-slick tread

Shorter center knobs cut down on rolling resistance while still providing ample bite for out-of-the-saddle pedaling. Increased outer knob height allows them to bite in the earlier phases of cornering and therefore provide the traction you need on loose gravel roads.

Efficient Knob Spacing

Tightly spaced knobs throughout the the tread keep the Riddler 700 rolling quickly and efficiently across the whole spectrum of riding conditions. Uninterupted knobs ensure you get the most out of every single watt you're able to crank out.

Two Widths, Many Uses

The Riddler 700 is available in 37 and 45mm widths. Riddler 37 is the go-fast option for those who are in it to win it on their CX or gravel bikes. Riddler 45 is the go-confidently choice for long gravel rides or bikepacking overnights. Whichever width you choose, the Riddler 700 is often considered the set-it-and-forget-it gravel tire in the WTB line.

TCS Tubeless-Ready

TCS (Tubeless Compatible System) is WTB's standardized tubeless system. These tires feature a TCS tubeless-ready casing, which nearly eliminates flats and allows lower tire pressures to improve traction and comfort over a traditional tube-type tire.

*WTB's tire pressure recommendations have changed over time due to further developments in technology. Riders may always reference the markings on their tires for allowed pressures ranges, but may also consult wtb.com for the most up-to-date tire pressure recommendations from WTB. We calculate pressure recommendations based on an average rider weight of 160-180 lbs and suggest increasing our minimum recommended pressure on WTB.com by 2-3psi for every additional 10 lbs of rider weight. Never exceed the maximum tire pressure marked on a 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.

Specifically formulated to prioritize rolling efficiency while also providing dependable traction and lasting durability.

Available with SG2, which defends all surfaces of a tire by providing an uninterrupted layer of nylon puncture protection spanning from one bead to the other.

WTB’s SG tires start at the material level, specifically formulated for superior sidewall protection and increased air retention in high-pressure tires. Sidewall Protection: The extra layer defends most exposed areas of the tire and improves air retention for high-pressure tires.

Available with SG2 puncture protection

SG2 is our unique puncture protection technology that provides bead-to-bead coverage to ensure both the tread and sidewall are protected from slashes and punctures. The nylon fibers within SG2 feature a uniquely flat profile, which reduces the amount of rubber between fibers. Improving the fiber-to-rubber ratio increases puncture resistance, reduces weight and improves the overall liveliness of a tire. While SG2 is primarily a puncture protection layer, its tightly woven fibers also improve air retention to better maintain pressure between rides.

Black or tan sidewalls

It's nice to have options, which is why most of our gravel tires are available with either black or tan sidewalls. Traditional black sidewalls tend to blend in with the components and wheels of a bike and may look sleeker in the eyes of some riders. WTB tanwall tires blend retroesque looks with modern technology to create an iconic look that has become synonymous with high-performance gravel. Looks aside, gram counters may choose our tan tires because the compounds used to make them are slightly lighter than those used to manufacture black sidewalls.

Worst Tires I've Had The Misfortune Of Buying

Have had these for a few months and beyond disappointed First, almost impossible to put on. Have not ridden any technical gravel, mostly road with some light "unpaved" roadways, and when I tried to go tubeless and there was a micro-abrasion on the sidewall and it will not hold air, even with tons of stans. Even had my LBS remove and replace and still wouldn't hold. Super frustrating to have a tire with less than 60mi that is this thin that what looks like a small scrape would render the tire unusable for tubeless. Wanted to love this tire bc of the dual-sport do-it-all style.

Hey Cranford, Sounds like headache indeed. Sounds like a warranty from our end. Please fill out this form: https://www.wtb.com/pages/warranty and our warranty team will be in touch.

Great all around tire

Have been using the Riddler for several hundred miles across multiple surface types and the Riddler has performed well in all but the most chunky of gravel. If you spend some time on tarmac getting to the trail, these are quick enough to make it enjoyable and rugged enough to tackle most trails. Highly recommend.

Sidewalls Are Paper Thin

Less that 80 miles on pavement, and the sidewall has a minor scuff that will not hold air even with tons of Stans. Super disappointed

great do it all tire for me

This is my favorite tire for the type of riding I do. YMMV. I run the 45's at 25psi and they are very fast and predictable on gravel. The side knobs give good traction for turns but you have to lean into them. They roll fast on the road too for what they are. Tread wear is acceptable and I get a good amount of miles out of them. And when you get to a bit of singletrack they're ready. Great all around gravel tire.

Bald after 6 Months/600 miles

The only tires I've ever owned with less of a life span were the old Donnelly's that were called something else initially. Just the worst durability of any tire I've ever had on any bike in 40 years of riding. I ride about 80-100 miles a week with an average of around 4-7000 feet of climbing. Often much more, but all on road or fire road.

These tires are completely bald after less than six months of use, even though half of my riding is on my Giant hardtail. Never seen anything like it, just anemic.
