Aggressive, groundbreaking, and unwavering… these are the words we used to describe the original Vigilante 2.3, and they still ring true for this updated Vigilante, available in modern widths. The square-ended lugs still deliver unwavering traction, but with added height to ensure even deeper penetration into loose, unpredictable terrain. Increased circumferential spacing helps maintain tread purity in sticky conditions, as the massive outer lugs protect the sidewall when sending it over the most massive rock gardens.

Optimal rim width inside: 25-35 mm

Application: Enduro, Trail
Surface: Loose, Dirty, Rocky, Wet

FUNCTIONS

- Square lugs strike wet or dry terrain for unwavering traction, while their consistent spacing provides predictable stability and confidence at high speeds.

- Tall side knobs are supported by a raised base that prevents them from flexing under the unabashedly powerful forces of cornering. The side knobs feature perpendicular cuts that enhance traction when braking or cornering.

Everything about the Vigilante is designed to improve cornering traction as a front tire. Aggressive outer knobs dig into corners, while directional sipes grapple with rocks and roots in both wet and dry conditions. We recommend pairing the Vigilante 2.3 with the Trail Boss 2.25 in the rear.

- TCS (Tubeless Compatible System) is WTB's standardized tubeless system. These tires feature a TCS tubeless casing that virtually eliminates punctures and allows for lower tire pressures for improved traction and comfort compared to a traditional tubed tire.

TOUGH

Two full casing layers extend from bead to bead to provide a more puncture-resistant tire surface. The use of two layers of casing also provides additional sidewall support during cornering and allows riders to experience increased traction at lower pressures than would be possible with thinner, single-ply casings. TCS Tough tires are a reliable choice for aggressive, enduro, gravity, and e-bike riders seeking maximum peace of mind on the trail. Some riders may opt for a TCS Tough tire on the rear while also enjoying the weight savings of a single-ply TCS Light tire on the front.

TRITEC

TriTec combines three different rubber compounds to provide varying levels of grip, support, and durability depending on their placement in the tread. The high-durability rubber underpins the entire tread pattern, extending slightly into the base of each lug to provide additional support beneath the softer compounds used in the rest of each lug. The center lugs are made of a medium-durability compound that provides grip and durability without sacrificing rolling performance, while the outer lugs are made of the softest compound for maximum grip and a slow rebound.
