WTB VelociRaptor Comp Bicycle Tires

At a time when mountain bike tires were unquestionably gum-walled, the WTB VelociRaptors came out in black and haven't looked back ever since. They changed the game back in 1994 with a steering-specific front and a rear with wide knobs that could really dig. The VelociRaptors continue to be popular decades later because, to put it simply... they just work! Try riding one of the most classic mountain bike tire combos of all time.

Optimized for Performance:

• Usage: Cross-Country • Trail

• Conditions: Dirt • Loose • Rocky • Wet • Mud.

Front-Specific Version:

Front tires need to prioritize cornering traction above all else. That's why the VelociRaptor Front features long, narrow, pointed knobs that slice into the trail and are angled to maximize cornering traction, counteracting cornering forces with ease.

Rear-Specific Version:

You're not worried about rolling speed when you're barreling down a loose, rocky chute in need of traction. The VelociRaptor Rear features incredibly wide knobs with substantial spacing between them. This not only maximizes the braking surfaces of the tire but also provides them the room they need to hook up in a variety of conditions. Each wide knob acts like a paddle, digging deep into the trail while pedaling and braking.

"26" Ain't Dead" & DNA Compound:

In a world where everything seems to be getting bigger, wider, burlier… the VelociRaptor has proven itself steadfast as the best 26" mountain tire on the market. Not ready to retire your trusted 26" steed? Throw on a fresh set of VelociRaptors and beat your friends down the trail as they brag about their fancy bikes while choking on your dust!

Our proprietary DNA Compound offers the ideal mix of rolling efficiency and traction across a wide range of riding conditions. Whether it's bright and sunny or pouring rain, this is the rubber that will provide traction and confidence to get you there fast. DNA Compound is renowned for being versatile and long-lasting.

Tube-Type Light Casing:

Combines the lightweight efficiency of a single-ply casing with the dependability of a wire bead. Wire bead tires are designed to be used with a tube and are therefore not tubeless compatible.
