{"product_id":"wtb-vulpine-tcs-lfr-tire","title":"WTB Vulpine TCS LFR tire","description":"\u003cp\u003eVulpine is the latest race-focused addition to WTB’s line of beloved gravel tires. Tightly spaced center knobs form a nearly uninterrupted centerline to decrease rolling resistance while the rest of the tread is packed with short knobs to further promote efficiency, minimize the chance of punctures, and deliver predictable cornering traction. Vulpine prioritizes all-out efficiency without sacrificing climbing or braking traction and is the perfect tire for gravel racers looking to lead the pack as well as daily riders in search of an efficient tire that excels on many surfaces including pavement, hardpack and gravel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTubeless Compatible\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eTCS (Tubeless Compatible System) is WTB's standardized tubeless system. These tires feature a TCS tubeless casing, which nearly eliminates flats and allows lower tire pressures to improve traction and comfort over a traditional tube-type tire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSG2 protection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSG2 is unique puncture protection technology that provides bead-to-bead coverage to ensure both the tread and sidewall are protected from slashes and punctures. The nylon fibers within SG2 feature a uniquely flat profile, which reduces the amount of rubber between fibers. Improving the fiber-to-rubber ratio increases puncture resistance, reduces weight and improves the overall liveliness of a tire. While SG2 is primarily a puncture protection layer, its tightly woven fibers also improve air retention to better maintain pressure between rides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDual DNA Compound\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Vulpine tread features Dual DNA Compound, which combines the strategically placed characteristics of two different rubber compounds within the tread of a single tire. Supportive centerline rubber delivers optimal rolling efficiency and tread longevity while softer rubber throughout the outer edges of the tread increases cornering confidence across varied terrain and conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFast Centerline\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe smooth rolling surface of the Vulpine reduces rolling resistance and improves tread longevity, resulting in a longer lifespan than other gravel tires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRound Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOverall knob profile mimics a high-volume road tire, which provides equal cornering confidence in a variety of different terrains and conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEfficient Knob Spacing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTightly spaced center knobs form a nearly uninterrupted centerline that decreases rolling resistance while the rest of the tread is packed with short knobs to further promote efficiency and minimize punctures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WTB","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ 700x36","offer_id":48058809090289,"sku":"W010-0940","price":38.4,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0794\/1580\/4145\/files\/zm_20220413-060236.png?v=1776538622","url":"https:\/\/novasportsbikes.com\/products\/wtb-vulpine-tcs-lfr-tire","provider":"Nova Sports Bikes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
