WTB Vigilante TCS Tires

The Vigilante is an aggressive tire designed for loose, rocky, and unpredictable trail conditions. Its tall, widely spaced knobs are built to dig into soft dirt and clear mud efficiently, making it a reliable choice for enduro riding and technical descents.

The SG2 layer provides puncture protection from bead to bead without making the tire feel overly stiff or dead. While it adds a slight bit of weight compared to non-protected versions, it maintains enough suppleness to conform to trail obstacles for consistent traction.

Yes, these are TCS (Tubeless Compatible System) tires. They are designed to be set up tubeless with sealant, which allows you to run lower pressures for better grip and comfort while significantly reducing the risk of pinch flats.

TriTec uses three different rubber compounds in a single tread pattern. A firm base supports the knobs to prevent squirming, while softer compounds on the top and sides prioritize grip and durability, giving you a balance of longevity and cornering confidence.

Most riders prefer the Vigilante as a front tire because of its aggressive, predictable cornering knobs. However, it can also be used as a rear tire if you prioritize maximum braking traction and durability over rolling speed.
