FETURES

Semi-Slick Tread

Shorter center knobs cut down on rolling resistance while still providing ample bite for out-of-the-saddle pedaling. Increased outer knob height allows them to bite in the earlier phases of cornering and therefore provide the traction you need on loose gravel roads.

Efficient Knob Spacing

Tightly spaced knobs throughout the the tread keep the Riddler 700 rolling quickly and efficiently across the whole spectrum of riding conditions. Uninterrupted knobs ensure you get the most out of every single watt you're able to crank out.

Two Widths, Many Uses

The Riddler 700 is available in 37 and 45mm widths. Riddler 37 is the go-fast option for those who are in it to win it on their CX or gravel bikes. Riddler 45 is the go-confidently choice for long gravel rides or bikepacking overnights. Whichever width you choose, the Riddler 700 is often considered the set-it-and-forget-it gravel tire in the WTB line.

Comp 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 therefore are not tubeless compatible.
