Aside from the bikes, I stopped in to chat with the crew at WTB. Lots of changes coming soon with entirely-new tread patterns, compounds and fundamental tire designs. The biggest changes are easily-seen in the Weirwolf and Mutano tires. Mark Weir and crew have pushed the limits of tire construction on the new Weirwolf 2.1 and 2.3 tires with some of their innovations trickling into other tires in the line.
With all that R&D and careful manufacturing, the resulting treads look solid and are sure to be even more versatile than ever. On top of all the changes, WTB was also able to cut prices across the board for 2010. Innovation and lower prices… cha-ching!

It’s great that they overhauled an already EPIC tire. I hope it makes it better… if that’s possible?!
Yeah… a great tire for sure. I’m told that Mark Weir spent countless hours dialing this in and that the technology behind the construction is truly unique. I’m looking forward to giving it a whirl.
