WTB Vigilante TCS Light High Grip Tire – 29 × 2.5 | Tubeless Ready
The WTB Vigilante TCS Light High Grip 29 × 2.5 is an aggressive trail tire designed for riders who demand maximum control and traction in loose, wet, and technical terrain.
The tread features a square-lugged, open pattern that provides stability and braking control on soft or muddy surfaces. Stiff, reinforced outer knobs deliver confident grip at steep lean angles, while updated knob shapes reduce flex and maintain traction under heavy cornering and braking loads.
WTB’s refined tread siping improves grip on wet roots and rocks while eliminating unwanted knob squirm. An updated tire profile creates a smoother, more predictable transition from the center tread to the side knobs, enhancing cornering confidence and control at speed.
The Light casing keeps rotational weight in check while conforming well to trail features for improved ride feel. Grip is maximized through WTB’s High Grip (HG) compound, using a 45a rubber layer over a supportive 60a base for strong traction without sacrificing stability. Additional performance comes from WTB’s TriTec (TT) triple-compound construction, optimizing durability, rolling efficiency, and cornering grip.
For durability, SG2 puncture protection provides continuous bead-to-bead coverage, helping defend against cuts and trail debris. The tire is built on WTB’s TCS Tubeless Compatible System, offering secure bead retention and reliable tubeless performance at lower pressures.
