Product Review
Built for unfaltering speed through a wide range of conditions, the Riddler 45c delivers added gusto to the rider who finds themselves on the roughest of roads. The proven tread design of the Riddler is now available in a wide drop bar width to drown out the harshness of the ride, without sacrificing performance. Expanding what gravel can do while happily accommodating dirt touring, the Riddler 45c corners with confidence on hard surfaces while still sinking its teeth deep into your favorite trails. Incredibly versatile in a what-can‘t-it-do type of size, this tire breathes capability when mounted to any drop bar bike.
- TWO WIDTH OPTIONS for Gravel Bike Adventures – The WTB Riddler offers both a 45 mm gravel bike tire for rugged terrain and bikepacking, and a 37 mm tire for faster, lighter cyclocross and speed-focused gravel riding.
- SG2 PUNCTURE PROTECTION for Long Gravel Rides – Equipped with WTB’s SG2 technology, both 45mm and 37mm Riddler gravel bike tires are protected from punctures with bead-to-bead coverage. Tightly woven nylon fibers improve puncture resistance and keep you riding longer.
- COMFORTABLE 60 TPI CONSTRUCTION - The Riddler 45 and 37 in 60tpi casings are constructed with more rubber and provide greater protection and comfort than other thin casing gravel tires. When setup tubeless the plush casing provides a vibration damping effect on the bumpiest of roads.
- TUBELESS READY for Better Gravel Bike Traction – The Riddler tire’s Tubeless Compatible System (TCS) allows you to run lower tire pressures for enhanced traction, a must-have for gravel bikepacking and off-road adventures. Fewer flats, more traction, and more confidence.
- SEMI-SLICK TREAD for Fast Rolling Efficiency – This WTB gravel bike tire features a semi-slick center tread for reduced rolling resistance and raised knobs for cornering traction. The 45mm version shines on rough gravel, while the 37mm is perfect for dry cyclocross courses.
- CUSTOMIZABLE LOOK with Tan or Black Sidewalls – WTB Riddler tires come with a choice of tan or black sidewalls, allowing you to match your gravel bike’s style. The tan sidewall option is lighter for those looking to reduce weight while maintaining the iconic gravel tire look.
