WTB continues to push the envelope of new sizes, shapes and styles of tyres with three new tyres aimed at the exploding adventure road bike market.
Keying off the nomenclature of mountain bike treads, the Horizon Road Plus is a 650b tyre so plump that its total diameter equals that of a 700c 30mm tyre.
The 700c Exposure is a tubeless tyre with a slick centre and small knobby shoulders that comes in 30 and 34mm options. And the new Riddler brings low-profile and tightly spaced MTB knobs to the 700c set in 37 and 45mm widths.

The burliest of the three, the Riddler is aimed at riders taking the 700c bike to the dirt, whether for gravel racing or just off-the-pavement adventuring.
“We’ve taken a tried-and-true tread pattern from other riding disciplines and used it to expand what gravel is capable of,” said Evan Smith, WTB’s tyre engineer. “The only issue with this versatile of a tread pattern is that we want to run it on all our bikes. With this in mind, the Riddler 37c was designed with our ’cross bike leaned up against the desk, while the Riddler 45c was dreamed up while exploring gravel roads.”
