Description Adventure with the Venture
The WTB Venture tire is designed specifically to give you confidence and allow you to ride wherever you want to go. WTB calls this a "set it and forget it" tire, and it truly is a jack of all trades. The high volume footprint allows for more traction and is less likely to sink into mud and sand. Combining this design with a dual rubber compound and larger corner nobs, this tire will roll quickly and have excellent traction and durability.
Whether you are out on secluded doubletrack, gravel grinding, trailblazing, or anything in-between, this tire will have you covered. Adding in WTB's TCS tubeless compatibility, you will be ready to conquer any feat while riding the Venture tires.
Highlights:
Great durability and sidewall protection
High traction and stability
Excellent in any riding condition

Fast touring tire!
This is my second set of WTB tires. The first ones were great, a set of Riddlers. But as soon as I put this set of tires on I noticed a huge difference in the speed of the bike. Its probably a little more suited for the riding I do, but its nice to know when the road gets a little rough the should handle that perfectly. Thanks for the great tires

Very please so far!
I have had these tires installed for about 3.5 months now. Mostly gravel, some road and single track. Flatted out a lot with the Gravelkings, not a single flat yet! Great performance in the mud, but also very fast for the width of these monsters. Also very comfortable. WTB nailed this! Thank you

Perfect 700c Gravel Tire for California gravel roads
I spent a ton of time researching a suitable gravel tire for my Ritchey Outback build that fit both the tire clearance and terrain where I live. I landed on the WTB venture as my tire of choice because LA gravel roads are mainly comprised of decomposed granite and sand. What I love about these tires is the centerline tread for the tarmac and the miles I ride until I hit the trails. The tire has taken everything I have thrown at it and has not slipped or lost traction.

Awesome Gravel tire!
We have the WTB Venture on our Salsa Powderkeg. It is awesome on the gravel and rolls well on pavement.
Great price and quick shipping from BikeTiresDirect!

Great traction but fast wearing
WTB makes a great tire. The venture mounted up tubeless with ease and offers great traction when new. But while the soft compound climbs and corners great, the tire (mounted as a rear) is literally bald after 1,000 miles of mixed graveldirtpaved riding. Might sound like a lot, but most tires i've tried last longer.

Great tire
Bought the 50mm for a new adventure wheelset for my rigid 29er. Currently logged over 1000 mi, without significant wear yet. Running tubeless, they have great bite off-road and roll well enough on pavement that I have also commuted all winter on them. Would purchase again.
