The Vigilante SG1 is a cult favorite among mountain bikers and EMTBs. Square-lugged knobs still deliver unwavering traction, yet with added height to ensure they dig even deeper into loose, unpredictable terrain. Increased circumferential spacing allows the tread to remain clear in sticky conditions as hefty outer knobs protect the sidewall while you send it down the chunkiest rock gardens. SG1 puncture protection runs under the tread cap and has extended bead protection.
- Square-lugged knobs deliver unwavering traction in a wide range of conditions and truly excel in loose, rocky terrain. Substantial spacing between those knobs allows the tread to clear in sloppy conditions, while still protecting the casing from spiteful rocks
- Enclosed siping provides the extra grip you want on rocks or roots without sacrificing on durability. This design prevents knob flex and increases cornering support while also extending tread life
- Tall side knobs are supported by an elevated base that prevents the knobs from folding under shamelessly forceful cornering forces. The siping arrangement has also been updated to increase cornering performance, while the tall height of the knobs don't hesistate to dig in under heavy braking
- Everything about the Vigilante was designed to improve cornering traction as a front tire. Aggressive outer knobs punch into corners while directional siping grapples with rocks and roots in both wet and dry conditions. WTB suggests pairing the Vigilante 2.5/2.6/2.8 with a Trail Boss 2.4/2.6 on the rear
- 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
