Designed for play in rough conditions, this is the most versatile tread family in WTB's line of tires. With tall, square knobs, an open tread, and a radius profile, the Moto dominates a variety of soils for true all-mountain use.
The 29'er Moto prefers faster harder surfaces than you might think, and it rolls surprisingly fast, making it a tire that works for a fairly wide variety of terrains. Not the best mud tire or super technical tire, the Moto still hooks up well and is durable.
