WTB Bailiff Tyre 4.5 x 27.5” TCS Light/Fast Rolling 120tpi DNA Studded /

The 4.5” Bailiff Tyre, with its chunky tread and snow shedding abilities, has been tried and tested in Vermont to ensure that it will shred brilliantly on packed snow and ice. Designed for use on Fat Bikes, it features stud compatibility, light casing that cuts down on weight and cold-resistant rubber.

Tested for over 200 hours in sub-zero conditions to guarantee its effectiveness, this tyre, with its tightly grouped centre knobs and tall outer knobs, offers serious grip when it’s icy out, especially since it features over 300 stud pockets and can be purchased with or without studs in situ.

Regardless of which type you go for, strategically directional siping on the tread will enhance your performance, with cornering traction being delivered by outer knob sipes running parallel to the tyre. Meanwhile, improved accelerating and braking traction results from centre and intermediate siping that maximises the edges in contact with the trail.  

Tubeless ready, for less flats and the chance to run at lower pressures for better traction and comfort, the Bailiff features a single-ply casing that will resist punctures, without adding too much weight in conditions where you’re already likely to be wearing multiple layers.

Finally, it features a special, snow-specific compound that will remain soft in frigid temperatures, so that it will continue to offer grip exactly when and where you need it. Opt for this beast of a tyre for the best possible stability in deep snow or on icy roads.
