Judge with SG1 is WTB's rowdiest and toughest rear-focused tire. Centerline knobs alternate between long and wide to provide the hard braking traction and efficiency required of a rear tire. Burly outer knobs provide support and dig in to keep you glued threw off-camber corners. Judge features a flatter tire profile than most other tires, which makes it easier to reach the outer knobs when cornering. The Judge keeps everything in order, whether dry and loose or wet and sloppy. SG1 puncture protection runs under the tread cap and has extended bead protection.
- Massive knobs in every area of the tread prove that the Judge prioritizes traction above all else. Long, thick knobs till through rocky terrain without folding under heavy cornering forces. Each knob features full-length siping to essentially double the amount of knob edges contacting the trail.
- The side-to-side tread arc of the Judge is "flatter" than most tires, which results in the side knobs engaging sooner while cornering compared to a tire with a rounder profile. This allows the side knobs to dig into the terrain quicker and deeper, which improves cornering traction on loose, off-camber trails.
- Judge features wide, blocky knobs that maximize braking traction and improve the longevity of the tire. The side knobs overhang the sidewall of the tire to protect it from slashes while you're steering with the rear. WTB suggests pairing the Judge with a Verdict 2.5 or Vigilante 2.5 on the front.
- TCS (Tubeless Compatible System) is WTB's standardized tubeless system, which nearly eliminates flats and allows lower tire pressures to improve traction and comfort over a traditional tube-type tire
- SG1 puncture protection runs beneath the entire tread cap making the tire more resilient against sharp objects lurking in the dirt, combined with Inner Peace + technology, tripling the height of it’s apex bead protection for SG1. This enhancement not only shields the tire bead from damage, but also significantly bolsters the sidewall structure
- An updated High Grip compound not only increases tread longevity, but also improves grip at the same time, especially in wet conditions
- TriTec blends three distinct rubber compounds to provide different levels of traction, support and durability based on their placement within the tread. High durometer rubber provides a foundation for the entire tread pattern and even extends slightly into the base of each knob to provide additional support below the softer compounds used in the remainder of each knob. Center knobs feature a medium durometer compound to provide traction and durability without sacrificing rolling efficiency, while outer knobs feature the softest compound for maximum grip and slow rebound characteristics
- TCS Tough Casing features two full layers of casing span bead-to-bead to ensure every surface of the tire is more resistance to punctures, provides additional sidewall support while cornering and increased traction by running lower pressures than would be possible with thinner, single-ply casings. TCS Tough tires are the sure bet for aggressive trail, enduro, gravity and e-bike riders who want ultimate peace of mind out on the trail
