WTB Trail Boss — Versatile Trail & Enduro MTB Tire

WTB Trail Boss is one of the most versatile MTB tires in WTB’s lineup, designed to perform across a wide variety of trails and riding conditions — from fast local singletrack to technical mountain terrain.

Its tread pattern is engineered to balance low rolling resistance with dependable braking traction and cornering stability. The tightly spaced center knobs maintain speed on hardpack surfaces, while the side knobs provide confident grip through corners and technical sections.

Trail Boss works exceptionally well as a rear tire paired with a WTB Vigilante front tire, but also performs perfectly as an all-around trail tire.
