WTBMutano Raptor
(MSRP $50)
—
The Mutano Raptor is derived by mating three of our most popular treads—we combined the fast-rolling centerline of the Nano, the aggressive square blocks of the Moto Raptor and the grippy working edges of the VelociRaptor. The result is a highly versatile and predictable tire that keeps its speed and traction on any trail. The 2.4-inch model actually weighs less than 600-grams, making it a real standout in the world of large-volume XC race tires.
