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.
