📖 DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Named after WTB rider Nathan Riddle, the WTB Riddler TCS Light 700x45 tire was built for riders seeking raw speed without compromising stability through quick directional changes.

Tread Profile & Performance

The architecture of the Riddler is a masterpiece of engineering for Allroad and Gravel riding:

• Center micro-knobs: Minimize rolling resistance on tarmac and hardpacked dirt, allowing you to maintain high speeds with less pedaling effort.

• Transition and shoulder knobs: Taller and spaced further apart towards the edges to dig into loose terrain during cornering, providing predictable and progressive traction.

TCS Light Casing & Dual DNA Compound

The single-ply TCS Light Fast Rolling casing delivers a supple, comfortable ride by conforming to terrain irregularities. Combined with tubeless sealant, it dramatically reduces the risk of pinch flats and punctures. The Dual DNA compound delivers the ideal balance between long-lasting mileage and dependable grip on dry to damp conditions.
