WTB Raddler 700x44K TCS Brown

The WTB Raddler 700x44c TCS Light Fast Rolling Brown Tire is an aggressive, high-volume gravel tire, designed as the "radder" sibling to WTB's classic Riddler. It enhances technical off-road capability by combining a fast-rolling, micro-knob centerline with significantly taller, toothier side blocks, ensuring reliable traction on loose gravel, dirt, and rough fire roads.

Technical Specifications

• Dimensions & Fit:
  700 x 44c (ETRTO 44-622), offering excellent air volume and vibration damping on coarse gravel networks.
• TCS Tubeless System:
  Features WTB's Tubeless Compatible System (TCS), which pairs an aramid folding bead with a specialized tire shape for a secure, airtight rim seal.
• Dual DNA Compound:
  Engineered with two distinct rubber durometers:
  • 60a center compound for reduced rolling resistance and extended tread life.
  • 50a shoulder compound for enhanced cornering grip.
• Casing Specs:
  Built on a flexible 60 TPI or 120 TPI casing, depending on whether the upgraded SG2 bead-to-bead puncture layer is included.
• Aesthetic:
  Features retro brown/tan sidewalls contrasted against a sleek black tread layout.
• Pressure Limits:
  Recommended operating range of 25–50 PSI.

Key Performance Features

• Upgraded Lifespan:
  Slightly taller center and intermediate knobs compared to the original Riddler pattern, boosting durability without adding straight-line drag.
• Loose-Over-Hard Control:
  • Tightly packed center micro-blocks ensure smooth performance on hardpack or pavement.
  • Long, siped cornering lugs dig into deep loose corners or mud for enhanced control.

This tire is the perfect choice for riders seeking a balance of speed, durability, and off-road traction, making it an excellent companion for gravel adventures.
