Wilderness Trail Bikes. Trail is our middle name.
WTB introductionWTB was founded in Marin County, California in 1982, fueled by the need to create durable and reliable mountain bike-specifi c equipment. Back then mountain biking was a new and burgeoning sport, and mountain bikes weren’t much more than cobbled-together oddities. The original WTB crew was captivated by the experience of riding bikes on dirt trails, and they started creating more durable and functional components for their own bikes. Soon, local frame builders sought to outfi t their bikes with WTB’s high-end components. WTB was able to turn a passion for bikes into a successful business.
Today WTB is a global enterprise; our innovative components are used for trail riding, transportation, recreation and elite racing across the world. After 28 years things have changed a bit here at WTB – our little garage has morphed into a real offi ce and the bikes we ride and the components we make have evolved to meet the needs of today’s riders, racers, and commuters. What hasn’t changed is our passion for cycling and our commitment to providing the cycling community with durable, reliable, high-performance components.

DNA RUBBER COMPOUNDOur proprietary 60a durometer rubber compound off ers the ideal mix of rolling effi ciency and traction for XC and trail riding applications. DNA rubber is renowned for being versatile and long lasting.
SUPER TRACK DNA RUBBER COMPOUNDThis 50a durometer rubber compound provides planted-to-the-ground traction. Super Track DNA boosts confi dence and improves handling in steep, loose conditions.
HIGH GRIP DNA RUBBER COMPOUNDWTB’s special soft compound (40a durometer), slow rebound rubber conforms to trail elements for maximum grip. High Grip DNA rubber excels in gravity applications and provides unmatched performance in wet conditions.
DUAL DNA RUBBER COMPOUNDDual DNA is the perfect mix of effi ciency, traction and durability. The centerline tread features a fi rmer rubber compound that boasts faster rolling and increased durability, while the side knobs are composed of softer, slower-rebounding rubber that improves control and grip.
INNER PEACEInner Peace is a tear drop shaped strip of rubber integrated into the tire sidewall that protects the casing from damage, reduces sidewall fl ex and dramatically reduces pinch fl ats. This feature is exclusively available on WTB’s AM TCS, Team FR and Team DH series tires.
FLAT GUARDA puncture resistant barrier that runs from bead to bead for the ultimate protection against fl ats.
TCSTCS (Tubeless Compatible System) tires feature the best of both worlds: they boast the ride benefi ts of a tubeless tire with the minimal weight of an non UST tire. This versatile system combines WTB’s lightweight Race casing with a tubeless, UST bead. Our AM (All Mountain) TCS features a more durable casing. TCS tires work great with inner tubes and easily adapt to tubeless when combined with WTB-approved sealant and rim strips.
UST (TUBELESS)Designed to meet the UST/ETRTO standards, WTB tubeless tires feature a folding UST bead with exceptional air retention qualities. Our UST tires also feature WTB’s performance DNA rubber compound.
BEADFolding beads are lighter than conventional steel beads and easier to install. Steel beads are more economical and better suited for aggressive, trail riding applications.
SIPINGSipes are small incisions on a tire’s tread. Siping a knob creates more working edges, which boosts traction in virtually any condition. Because WTB’s high-end mountain bike tires feature shallow sipes, the knobs stay fi rm under heavy loads and hard braking.
TIRE PRESSUREWTB recommends that tire pressure be checked before each ride. The acceptable pressure range for mountain bike tires is 35- to 65-psi (2.4- to 4.5-bar). Road tires must be infated to 100- to 130-psi (7- to 9-bar). TCS tires must be infl ated between 30 and 50 psi (2- to 3.5-bar). City/Trekking/Hybrid tires must be in# ated between 50- and 80-psi (3.5- to 5.5-bar). Tire pressure outside of these guidelines can result in a loss of control or, at the very least, poor performance.
TPITPI stands for threads per inch. This number refers to the thread count in a tire’s casing. A lower TPI indicates that thicker threads are woven into the casing, therefore making it more durable; a higher TPI indicates that thinner threads are used, therefore making the casing lighter and more pliable. WTB’s 60 TPI, race-level tires off er supple, shock absorption qualities while remaining resistant to cuts and tears. The Super Duty casing found on Team DH tires, by contrast, feature dual plies of tough 30 TPI casing.

Tire width explainedTo identify tire size, WTB follows ETRTO (European Tire and Rim Technical Organization) and ISO (International Standards Organization) defi nitions and standards. Tire size designation refers to the Tire Section Width which is widest point in the casing of the tire. Tire Section Wide refers to the overall tire width, or the widest point of the tire at the tread.

LOVE CHANNEL
FLEX TUNED SHELL
COMFORT ZONE SOFT SHELL
LOVE CHANNEL®
Found on all WTB saddles, the Love Channel® has one very important task: protecting your body from unwanted pressure. The central depression provides soft-tissue relief without sacrificing the structural integrity of the saddle.
COMFORT ZONE®
Featured on most WTB saddles, these are small pressure relief areas in the saddle that provide relief from pressure on sensitive areas. Comfort Zone is a subtle difference that provides impressive long-term comfort.
LUXZONE
This comfort-enhancing window is featured exclusively on the Valcon saddle. Similar to our proprietary Comfort Zone soft tissue relief area, LuxZone reduces pressure on sensitive soft tissue.
DNA PADDING
Found on many of our high-end models, this padding dramatically reduces the weight of the saddle. DNA padding also features superior memory properties, which conforms to your individual anatomy.
SOFT-SHELL
WTB’s shock-absorbing, dual-compound saddle base. Soft-Shell saddles minimize trail vibration while simultaneously providing a rigid platform for efficient pedaling.
FLEX-TUNED SHELL™
The Flex-Tuned shell™ boasts an exceptional mix of comfortable flex and firm efficiency. Not as supple as the Soft-Shell and not as stiff as the carbon composite, Flex-Tuned saddles provide the happy medium that is ideal for many different riders.
CARBON COMPOSITE SHELL
WTB’s carbon composite shells provide a firm and supportive feel for unparalleled performance and efficiency. These bases are found only on our top-level Devo Carbon and Vigo Carbon and Valcon Carbon saddles.
ABR CORNERS
These durable patches of material protect the corners and sides of the saddle from rips and tears.
TITANIUM RAILS
Titanium rails offer an unprecedented strength-to-weight ratio as well as superior vibration damping characteristics.
NICRO TUBULAR RAILS
NiCro is a hollow alloy rail material that is as light as titanium, but available at a more economical cost. NiCro tubular rails have a distinctive golden-silver tint and offer a ride quality that΄s nearly as supple as titanium.
CARBON RAILS
Carbon rails offer the lightest weight option with extraordinary shock absorbing characteristics. Found on our top shelf Valcon and Silverado saddles.
FIRST, A WORD ABOUT ANATOMY...
Bike saddles are very personal objects. Ask several cyclists of their favorite models and you will receive very different responses – even if the riders are similar in size and skill level. In the next few pages you’ll find a range of seats designed for varying physiques, riding styles and shape preferences.
With over 30 thoroughly-researched, rider-tested models, WTB offers the ideal perch for everyone from world champion racers to their grandmothers.
No matter what your age, gender or ability level, we’re guessing that you’re not a fan of numbness or pain in your nether-regions. Because we care about your comfort, you’ll find several key anatomically-friendly features that span the entire WTB saddle line. These proprietary designs place more support on your ischial bones (”sit bones”) and less weight on sensitive soft tissue. As a rule, WTB saddles are flatter in profile than others. Our profile supports your sit bones and relieves pressure from sensitive areas, whereas rounder saddles pull the pelvic girdle apart, placing pressure where you don’t want it.

SCLAMP-ON TECHNOLOGY
Another WTB innovation, Clamp-On grips bolt securely to the handlebar via two nylon clamps. Unlike the average lock-on type grip that uses a thick, plastic base, Clamp-On technology utilizes a minimal nylon skeleton. Because there is no layer of dense plastic between your hands and your handlebar, Clamp-On technology is slimmer in profile, more comfortable and lighter weight than lock-ons.
S&N FASTENING
Our Clamp-On grips fasten to the handlebar with bolts and sleeves comprised of corrosion-resistant plated steel. The system works much like a Spoke and Nipple. The chance of stripping the hardware is greatly reduced with this steel hardware and, because the components are so small, this fastening system weighs almost nothing. The nylon clamps are safe to use with carbon fiber handlebars too.
DUAL COMPOUND RUBBER
The Dual Compound Trail grip and the WeirWolf Trail grip both benefit from dual compound rubber. The outside layer of the grip is an easy-on-the-hands soft rubber, while the firm Kraton base material resists twisting and slipping.
ALUMINIUM DUAL CLAMP-ON
Forget the windex, hairspray, or whatever else you used to put you grips on. Our new dual aluminum clamp system provides for easy grip installation while keeping the grip lightweight. Save the Hairspray for looking good.

UNBENDIUM BULDGE
I-BEAM
GLOBALBEAD SYSTEMSPOKE
NIPPLE
DOUBLE BUTTED SPOKES
I-BEAM
The I-Beam, found exclusively on STRYKER Wheels and LaserDisc series rims, was pioneered by WTB in 1994. This distinctive, centrally located vertical support counteracts spoke loads and provides torsional rigidity.
UNBENDIUM BULGE
An additional band of aluminum added to the rim΄s sidewall that improves torsional, radial and lateral strength. This rib, which replaces the braking surface, provides an impressive boost in rigidity with a negligible difference in weight. This WTB innovation is found exclusively on STRYKER Wheels and LaserDisc series rims.
GLOBAL BEAD SYSTEM
WTB’s proprietary G.B.S. design utilizes deeper grooves for the bead seats as well as two raised lips that lock the tire’s beads into place on the rim. G.B.S. – featured on LaserDisc, SpeedDisc and Dual Duty series rims – holds the tire firmly in place and greatly reduces the chance of
”burping” the tire off the rim in heavy lateral loading.
TCS
The tubeless compatible TCS rim profile is especially designed for TCS or UST tires and is also compatible with tube type tires when used with tubes. TCS rim profiles feature superior tire retention capabilities. When mounting a TCS or UST tire on a TCS rim profile very little initial air pressure force is required to inflate tire. In most cases a small mini hand pump will provide ample air flow for inflation.
THE WTB DIFFERENCE
Because WTB designs both tires and rims, we can focus on a consistent interface between the two. While all mountain bike tires are based around an established bead seat diameter (559-millimeter for 26-inch tires and 622-millimeters for 29er tires) you΄ll find a wide variance in many brands. Some brands of tires fit rims so tightly that tools are necessary for installation, while others have a looser fit. WTB rims and tires feature a consistent interface for easy installation.
TCS RIM PROFILE
12 POINT ENGAGEMENT
Each LaserDisc rear hub features a cold-forged, fully machined aluminum hub shell and alloy freehub. Power transfer is driven through six, double sided stainless pawls, totaling 12 points of engagement.
SEALED CARTRIDGE BEARINGS
LaserDisc rear hubs roll on four sealed cartridge bearings and front hubs utilize two sealed cartridge bearings. All bearings are stainless steel.
EASILY ADJUSTABLE
Bearing preload is easily adjustable on LaserDisc Lite rear hubs through the adjustment nut and locknut.
WTB 29ER
WTB 29er rims feature a 622-millimeter/700c bead seat diameter, and a minimum bead opening of 21-millimeters. This minimum width is the defining element that separates 29er rims from 700c trekking, hybrid and road racing rims. Narrower rims are not designed for today’s wider 29er tires.
SIDEWALL WEAR INDICATOR
This feature–found on Dual Duty, DX series rims–is a groove in the braking surface that, when it no longer exists, indicates that the rim needs to be replaced due to sidewall wear from the use of rim brakes.
WTB RIM STRIPS
Proprietary WTB rubber rim strips are 11-millimeters in width and are designed to compliment GBS Equipped rims. We recommend using these strips with any WTB rim, as wider rim strips can interfere with the tire’s bead seat.
WTB SEALANT
We Tested every sealant on the market and found this to be the very best. Race proven and ride recommended. WTB TUBELESS VALVE
New Taper Design allows for optimal fi t on a wide variety of rim. Removable valve core for easy cleaning and un interrupted air fl ow. WTB TUBELESS RIM TAPE
Light, strong, and extra sticky for durable long lasting leakproof performance.
SUPERIOR SPOKESSWELL-BOW
WTB spokes are better by design. At the J-bend—the most likely point for the average spoke to break—these spokes measure 2.2-millimeters in cross-section. We call this proprietary feature Swell-Bow. These thicker elbows fit perfectly into the hub, providing a stiffer, snug fit. The length between the J-bend and the head is critical. Achieving a snug fit increases strength because stress is spread throughout the form fit.
DOUBLE BUTTING
From the 2.2-millimeter Swell-Bow, WTB spokes taper down to 2.0-millimeters, and finally measure 1.8-millimeters at the center. From the mid-point, the spoke tapers back to 2.0-millimeters at the thread. Butting the spoke in this fashion combats the immense stress the spoke sees at both ends. A narrow mid-section greatly reduces weight without compromising strength. WTB spokes can be used with standard hub flange spoke holes.
SPOKE NIPPLES
LaserDisc Cross Country and LaserDisc Trail wheels utilize alloy nipples to save weight over the traditional brass variety. Although the brass nipples featured on LaserDisc FR and LaserDisc DH wheels are more durable, they are up to 20-grams heavier per wheel. Our new Stryker wheelset uses Sanvic triple butted 3 mm bladed spokes.

ADVOCACY / SPONSORSHIPBicycles are emerging as the simple solutions in a problematic world of increasing gas prices, traffi c congestions and environmental degradation. The Bikes Belong Coalition reports that in the United States more than 40-percent of all automobile trips are less than two miles. Riding a bike in lieu of driving a car over such distances is economical, healthy and environmentally friendly. Unfortunately, 100 years of car culture have created a complex network of high-speed freeways and busy boulevards, leaving some areas completely unsafe for cycling.
Since the mid-eighties, WTB has actively contributed to bicycle access and advocacy. Now more than ever, WTB and its sister nonprofi t organization, Transportation Alternatives for Marin (TAM), are pouring serious time and energy into the development of cyclists’ rights. Through education, diplomacy and a clear focus on a solution, we have raised cycling safety awareness at the local, state and federal levels. The results are very real and tangible: In 2005, WTB/TAM and the Marin County Bicycle Coalition initiated a federal transportation bill that included $712 million in programs promoting safe and effi cient travel for cyclists and pedestrians. Numbers of that size may be diffi cult to fathom, but the eff ects on bike routes nationwide are easy to appreciate. This investment in bicycle infrastructure has already delivered a marked improvement in terms of mobility and congestion.
WTB is proud to support elite and grass roots level racing

WTB/TAM also engages in a multitude of local Bay Area projects that play a vital role in the big picture of bicycle advocacy. The Cal Park Hill Tunnel, merely one example of many, will link a busy ferry terminal with a densely populated San Rafael neighborhood. The $25 million tunnel, scheduled to open in 2010, will protect cyclists and pedestrians from a complex freeway interchange and encourage cycling by tunneling through – rather than up and over – a steep grade. We are proud of these accomplishments and continue to work hand-in-hand with our esteemed advocacy partners to keep this momentum rolling. We encourage you to support local and national advocacy organizations as well. These nonprofi t groups’ tireless work will benefi t all of us – commuters, road riders and mountain bikers – for generations to come.
An old proverb instructs that: “We will be known by the tracks we leave behind.” WTB aims to leave a lasting legacy of cycling access and infrastructure as well as an enhanced sense of community. We encourage you to join us on this journey.
Since the mid-eighties, WTB has actively contributed to bicycle access and advocacy. The results are very real and tangible… $712 million in programs promoting safe and effi cient travel for cyclists and pedestrians.
BUSINESS PURPOSEWTB is committed to providing our customers with progressive, durable, and safe parts and accessories. We are committed to providing our owners and employees with enjoyable and fulfi lling work, fair compensation and an opportunity to reach their personal and collective potentials. We are a strong advocate for the bicycle as a contributor to personal, societal, and environmental well being, and continually strive to be a socially conscious company providing inspiration to our community and a service to the planet.
