WTB Vulpine SG2 Tire

The Vulpine is designed as a fast-rolling gravel tire, making it ideal for hardpack dirt, gravel roads, and paved sections. Its tightly spaced center tread minimizes rolling resistance, while the side knobs provide enough traction for cornering on loose surfaces.

SG2 is a lightweight nylon insert that runs from bead to bead, offering puncture protection without making the tire feel stiff or dead. While it adds a layer of durability, the tire remains supple enough to conform to the ground for a smooth ride.

Yes, the Vulpine SG2 is designed for tubeless use. It features a tubeless-ready bead that creates a secure seal with compatible rims, allowing you to run lower pressures for better comfort and traction.

A 40mm tire is a standard width for modern gravel bikes, but you should check your frame and fork clearance first. Ensure you have at least 4-6mm of space between the tire and your frame to account for mud clearance and wheel flex.

The Vulpine is built for speed and efficiency rather than deep mud or technical singletrack. If your rides involve mostly groomed gravel or mixed-surface commuting, it will be faster and more efficient than a knobbier, high-traction tire.
