WTB Horizon

The WTB Horizon is a 27.5-inch tire with a 47mm width, which is significantly wider than a standard road tire. You will need a frame and fork with sufficient clearance to accommodate this 'Road Plus' volume, so check your bike's manufacturer specifications for tire clearance before purchasing.

Because it features a slick center line, the Horizon is optimized for speed on pavement and hard-packed dirt rather than loose, technical gravel. While the herringbone side tread provides decent grip in corners, it is not designed for deep mud or loose, chunky terrain where aggressive knobs are necessary.

No, these are tubeless-ready tires. While you can use them with tubes, setting them up tubeless is recommended to take full advantage of the puncture protection and to run lower pressures for a smoother, more comfortable ride.

SG2 is a lightweight nylon insert that provides bead-to-bead puncture protection. It adds a layer of defense against flats without making the tire feel stiff or sluggish, which is essential for mixed-terrain riding where debris is more common.

Yes, the high-volume casing makes it an excellent choice for long rides where comfort is a priority. The 120 TPI construction offers a supple ride quality that helps reduce fatigue over long days, provided your route consists mostly of pavement and well-maintained gravel roads.
