WTB Byway 700×34 Tubeless Folding Bike Tire – Black/Tan TCS

The Byway Road Plus Tire is engineered for riders who demand seamless transitions between pavement and uncharted gravel trails. Its innovative tread pattern balances efficiency and grip: a smooth central ridge ensures rapid rolling on asphalt while maintaining precise handling control during high-speed descents or long-distance commutes. Transitioning off-road reveals angular intermediate lugs shaped like diamonds—these provide unwavering traction when powering through loose gravel or climbing technical sections—while reinforced shoulder blocks guard against sharp rocks and debris encountered during trail exploration or remote route adventures.

Crafted for all-road dominance, this tire combines lightweight durability with practicality through its Road Plus TCS casing—a proprietary blend optimized for tubeless setups with built-in sealant compatibility to prevent flats mid-ride. The folding aramid bead offers easy storage and installation while maintaining stability at higher pressures on hardpack surfaces yet flexing enough for comfort on uneven terrain. Its 60 TPI fabric strikes an ideal balance between suppleness for vibration damping and robustness against sidewall cuts during off-road excursions.

Perfect for endurance cyclists tackling mixed terrain commutes or weekend gravel grinders seeking reliability without sacrificing speed, this 700x34mm tire delivers confidence-inspiring performance whether you’re carving tarmac backroads or navigating loose dirt paths. The black-and-tan colorway adds subtle style while staying focused on functional excellence—ideal for riders prioritizing both efficiency and resilience across diverse environments like rugged fire roads or urban-paved approaches leading to remote trails.
