WTB Vulpine TCS Light Fast Rolling SG gravel tire 700x40 black/brown

Description

When you want to keep the pace on gravel without feeling “stuck” to the asphalt, the right tire does more than you might think. The WTB Vulpine TCS Light Fast Rolling SG gravel tire 700x40 in the black-brown colorway is built for fast transfers, punchy gravel sections, and everyday rides where the surface changes every few minutes.

Main benefits

Vulpine from the Vulpine line is a gravel tire focused on efficiency: tightly packed center knobs form an almost continuous line that reduces rolling resistance and helps maintain speed on asphalt and hardpack. Short side knobs add predictable cornering support and confidence under braking, without making the tire feel sluggish. Protection is handled by SG technology, which reinforces the sidewalls and helps retain pressure better—something you’ll appreciate especially during faster riding and frequent surface changes. Thanks to the TCS tubeless-ready system, you can also run it without an inner tube and benefit from greater comfort and traction at sensibly lower pressure.

Technical specifications

The tire comes in 700x40 and corresponds to the ETRTO size 40-622, so it fits standard gravel bikes with a 700C rim diameter. The 60 TPI casing construction balances suppleness with durability for everyday use and long rides. The recommended operating pressure range is 25–50 psi, giving you room to tune speed, comfort, and grip to the terrain and rider weight. The Dual DNA compound combines a faster-rolling center with grippier sides, and the tire has a kevlar bead for easier handling; the weight per tire is approximately 442 g in the black-brown colorway.

Conclusion

WTB Vulpine TCS Light Fast Rolling SG is a great choice for riders who want a fast gravel tire with confident cornering behavior and sensible sidewall protection. It’s suited to more race-oriented rides as well as “mix” routes where asphalt, packed roads, and gravel alternate, while still keeping the bike rolling nicely.
