The Verdict with SG1 is WTB's most aggressive and durable front-focused tire. The tire of choice when relentless traction takes priority over rolling efficiency and puncture protection. The flat profile of the Verdict keeps chunky outer knobs shoveling at all times while a substantial intermediate channel ensures multiple knob edges are able to bite when you initiate a corner. Abundant open space between every knob allows the Verdict to chew through the driest days of summer and fling mud during the wettest months of winter. The Verdict features SG1 puncture protection under the tread cap and extra protection along the bead.
- Verdict’s tread has knob shapes and siping to prevent knob flex and increase cornering support while also extending tread life. Siping depth was reduced on the outermost knobs in order to improve support without sacrificing traction on wet roots and rocks
- Centerline, transition zone and outer tread...all areas feature massive knobs. Tall knobs that dig deep, with lengths that hold up to heavy braking and thick, supportive bases that refuse to flex regardless of how hard you push them. Throw on a Verdict and forget the days of front tire wash-out
- Front-Focused, designed to dig deep and improve cornering traction above all else. WTB suggests pairing the Verdict 2.5 with a Judge 2.4 on the rear as a start. The Verdict/Judge combo keeps the front upright while you steer with the rear. Verdict 2.5 has also proven to be a great rear tire for e-bikers who need unparalleled traction in loose or wet terrain
- TCS (Tubeless Compatible System) is WTB's standardized tubeless system, which nearly eliminates flats and allows lower tire pressures to improve traction and comfort over a traditional tube-type tire
- SG1 puncture protection runs beneath the entire tread cap making the tire more resilient against sharp objects lurking in the dirt, combined with Inner Peace + technology, tripling the height of it’s apex bead protection for SG1. This enhancement not only shields the tire bead from damage, but also significantly bolsters the sidewall structure
- An updated High Grip compound not only increases tread longevity, but also improves grip at the same time, especially in wet conditions
- TriTec blends three distinct rubber compounds to provide different levels of traction, support and durability based on their placement within the tread. High durometer rubber provides a foundation for the entire tread pattern and even extends slightly into the base of each knob to provide additional support below the softer compounds used in the remainder of each knob. Center knobs feature a medium durometer compound to provide traction and durability without sacrificing rolling efficiency, while outer knobs feature the softest compound for maximum grip and slow rebound characteristics
- TCS Tough Casing features two full layers of casing span bead-to-bead to ensure every surface of the tire is more resistance to punctures, provides additional sidewall support while cornering and increased traction by running lower pressures than would be possible with thinner, single-ply casings. TCS Tough tires are the sure bet for aggressive trail, enduro, gravity and e-bike riders who want ultimate peace of mind out on the trail
