WTB Exposure

The Exposure is designed to handle varied pavement surfaces. While it features a slick tread pattern for speed on smooth roads, its 38mm width and supple casing provide enough comfort and stability to handle rough tarmac and chip-seal roads with confidence.

While the tire is optimized for a tubeless setup to maximize puncture resistance and ride quality, it is compatible with inner tubes. If you choose to run tubes, ensure your rim tape is properly installed to prevent any potential damage to the tire casing.

The dual-compound rubber uses a firmer compound in the center to reduce rolling resistance and increase longevity, while a softer compound on the shoulders improves grip during cornering. This balance ensures the tire remains fast on straightaways without sacrificing traction when you lean into turns.

The WTB Exposure is 38mm wide, which is significantly wider than traditional 25mm or 28mm road tires. Before purchasing, check your bike frame and fork clearance to ensure you have enough space to accommodate a 38mm tire width.

No, the WTB Exposure is not rated for e-bike use. It is engineered specifically for traditional road cycling where weight and suppleness are the primary performance priorities.
