WTB Byway RS 50 Folding Tire - Dual DNA | SG2 | TCS - 50-622 | black

Built for pure speed on gravel

The Byway RS is built for pure speed on gravel. Enjoy an aerodynamic advantage of up to 14 watts at 40km/h while benefiting from exceptional grip, durability, and a smooth ride on every adventure.

A slick centerline paired with low-profile transition and shoulder knobs delivers exceptional rolling efficiency on hard pack gravel, and pavement, while maintaining predictable cornering traction when conditions become loose. Combined with international patent-pending aerodynamic technology integrated into the sidewalls, the Byway RS delivers everything riders expect from a high-performance gravel tire while helping conserve valuable energy at higher speeds. 

Highlights

• Patent-pending Aero technology, developed with Stromm
• 50 mm width for speed, comfort, and control
• smooth rolling, fast centerline reduces rolling resistance and improves tread longevity
• SG2 Bead-to-Bead Puncture Protection
• Tubeless Ready 

Stromm Aerotech | WTB partnered with the aero experts at Stromm to counteract aerodynamic drag using Vortex Generators and Trip Strips placed at key intervals along the tyre. This revolutionary international patent pending technology works in stages to draw the airflow close to the wheel system, minimising the low pressure and maximising every pedal stroke.

SG2 Puncture Protection | Three-piece SG2 puncture protection technology is used in WTB’s wide gravel and SG2 mountain tires. The nylon protection layer comprises three separate pieces to provide full bead-to-bead coverage while maintaining the stretch and conformity characteristics desirable in wider tires.

Dual DNA Compound | Dual DNA rubber compound combines harder, faster-rolling center sections with softer, grippier shoulders for optimal performance and weight. Additionally, each tire is equipped with robust SG2 puncture protection to ensure durability and reliability on any terrain. 

TCS Tubeless Ready | TCS (Tubeless Compatible System) is WTB's standardized tubeless rim/tire system. TCS tubeless ready compatible tires eliminate the need for tubes, reduces weight, and accommodates lower tire pressures for improved traction and comfort compared to a traditional tube-type tire.
