WTB Exposure

While the Exposure features a slick tread pattern optimized for speed on pavement, its supple casing and tubeless-ready design make it capable on hard-packed dirt roads. It is best suited for mixed-surface rides where pavement makes up the majority of your route.

Yes, you can run the WTB Exposure with inner tubes if you prefer. However, the tire is designed as a tubeless-ready system, so using it tubeless will allow you to run lower pressures for better comfort and puncture resistance.

The 36mm width offers a balanced profile that provides enough volume to absorb road vibrations and minor bumps without sacrificing the efficiency of a narrower road tire. It strikes a sweet spot for riders who want comfort on long-distance adventures without feeling sluggish.

The Exposure features integrated puncture protection within its construction, designed to guard against common road debris like glass and thorns. While no tire is completely flat-proof, this added layer significantly improves durability for long-distance riding.

The folding bead is generally easier to work with than a rigid wire bead, making installation more straightforward. Because it is a tubeless-ready tire, you may need a tire lever to seat the bead properly on the rim, but it is designed to be user-friendly.
