[Press Release] –<\/strong> WTB is growing the Ranger tread family to include an all-new\u00a02.4 width designed for trail riding. The new width\u00a0bridges a\u00a0gap between the XC efficiency of the Ranger 2.25 and the plus-size volume of the Ranger 2.8\/3.0.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Usage:<\/strong> XC \u2022 Trail
\nConditions:<\/strong> Dry \u2022 Damp \u2022 Wet \u2022 Hardpack<\/p>\n

Ranger is designed to be a set-it-and-forget-it tire. Tightly spaced center knobs set the pace while open outer lugs devour corners and shed muck with ease.\u00a0Ranger outperforms in all conditions, without compromising along the way.<\/p>\n

All-conditions. Prefers wet.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t another one of those do-nothing tires claiming to perfect your trail experience. Truly capable and dynamic in nature, the Ranger has taken the widest range of
\nterrain and conditions into account, resulting in a tire that rolls fast, hooks up in varied terrain, willingly sheds mud and outdoes itself in both wet and dry. Tires often fill a
\ncertain role between others in a lineup. We designed the Ranger tread pattern to utilize all the features required for different conditions and distilled it down to a design that
\ncompliments your XC or trail bike year-round.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Optimized for Wide Rims<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wide rims have become the norm. We designed the all-new Ranger 2.4 tire with a Wide Profile casing designed around i29 rims in order to optimize the benefits of increased
\ntire volume, lower tire pressure and a larger contact patch between the tire and trail. Designing our Wide Profile tires around wide rims allows us to create a more supportive
\ntire while also bolstering sidewall protection through ample tread overhang. Ranger 2.25 is designed around i25 rims to minimize weight on XC race bikes.\"\"<\/p>\n

Tritec Compound<\/strong><\/p>\n

A firm base provides support beneath\u00a0the entire tread. Medium-stiffness center knobs\u00a0provide traction and durability without sacrificing rolling efficiency. Soft compound side knobs deliver maximum grip\u00a0for increased cornering traction.<\/p>\n
