Vulpine S

The Vulpine S excels on hardpack and pavement due to its tightly spaced center tread, which minimizes rolling resistance. While it handles light gravel well, it is not designed for deep, loose, or muddy conditions where larger, more aggressive knobs are required.

Yes, while the Vulpine S is tubeless-ready and performs best that way, it is fully compatible with standard inner tubes. If you choose to run tubes, you will lose the puncture-protection and lower-pressure benefits of a tubeless setup.

The 120 TPI (threads per inch) casing is more supple and flexible than lower TPI options, allowing the tire to conform better to the ground. This results in a smoother ride, improved traction, and better overall performance on varied surfaces.

The choice between 40mm and 45mm depends on your frame clearance and riding preference. The 40mm version is lighter and slightly faster, while the 45mm option provides more air volume, which can be run at lower pressures for increased comfort and grip on rougher terrain.

The Dual DNA compound is engineered to balance speed and durability. It uses a firmer rubber in the center for longevity and efficiency, with softer rubber on the side knobs for cornering grip, making it a reliable choice for high-mileage gravel riding.
