BikeRadar verdict"Enduro-ready rubber that grips way better than it should, available in an array of options"
Were seeing more and more hard-hitting rear
tyres arriving on the market and
WTBs Trail Boss is a fine example of the breed. The idea is simple the lower profile centre section increases rolling speed while the raised side knobs keep things hooked up when cornering or traversing lumpy sections.
At 1,112g in this 27.5x2.25in size, the Trail Boss is no lightweight XC tyre, so wed recommend taking advantage of WTBs Tubeless Compatible System (TCS), which is easy to inflate right from the packaging and holds its pressure nicely.
The tyre pedals well up long climbs and despite the tacky High Grip rubber, rolls well on flat sections too, though harder compounds are available if youre after more rolling speed. The big surprise came when we started tackling loose descents. The tyre still offered plenty of braking traction and there was none of the low-grip fishtailing wed half expected.
Those meaty side knobs, combined with the Bosss round profile, help it hold fast through rooty off-camber sections too. It was only when we hit proper mud that there was a noticeable lack of adhesion when compared to a fully treaded tyre.
Infatti dovrebbe essere scorrevole piu' o meno come l'
Ardent ma ha tasselli laterali molto piu' pronunciati e quelli centrali sono piu' alti.Per me ottima la carcassa 2 ply che corre da tallone a tallone cosi' non la taglio.Praticamente dovrebbe essere un 'Ardent senza difetti.Io la monterei sul secondo set di
ruote.Per la fanghiglia e neve,se arriva,ho la wild grip reinforced sull'altro set.Ma nessuno l'ha provata?
