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

Might be done with WTB

This is the 3rd pair of WTB tires I've owned in the past couple years. Had Nano and Riddler's on my previous bike. I heard good things about the big Ventures for my salsa Cutthroat. Well, the first gravel ride after having the tires setup tubeless and installed and I end up with a puncture too big for the sealant to fill. Had to put a dynaplug in to fix. All WTB tires have had early punctures or cuts. Next tires will be something more sturdy. BTW, I ride fairly easy railroad grade gravel.

fast rolling tire

I have this tire on my trek ds 8.4 as an upgrade, my bike originally had bontrager 700x38c and i have installed this wtb venture 700x50c coz i wanted to take on occasional single tracks and in my opinion its well worth the upgrade from the skinny 38c it had on before,it looks great on my bike with the tan wall as well. Speed-wise it feels about the same coz of its fast rolling center thread design given that its much wider than the bontrager, the grip is much improved as well giving me more confidence taking corners on gravel, dirt as well as on pavement. The only down side is that it definitely feels heavier ofcourse given that its a thicker tire but i also run with tubes..eventually I should be converting to tubeless. Overall i think its a great upgrade and i would recommend it to anyone who rides on pavement, gravel and occasional single tracks like me.

I'll give it a 0.333 batting average

I bought two. The one I put on front snapped right on and pumped up easily with a hand pump and has held up well. However the one I installed on back had a perfect pinhole in the sidewall that wasn't going to seal up. I ordered a replacement and it had the same perfect pinhole in the sidewall as well.

I say it's batting 0.333 because I really like the tire on front. It didn't bite as well as I would have liked on some of those rowdy southern Colorado dirt roads and trails but it's fantastic on my country Kansas gravel roads.

Thanks to the Bike Direct team! I was putting these new tires on just a few days before I was leaving for The San Luis Valley. When I contacted them about my problem they overnighted another tire to me. I know the tire didn't pan out, but I was very happy that they took the extra step to do that for me. And they provided a return shipping label for the two defective tires. I'll be shopping with BTD again.

I'm Very Impressed

I'm not new to off-road (33 years and counting), but somewhat new to gravel (<2 years), and years ago Continental came out with a line of race tires that were very scant with tread in the middle, and pretty aggressive on the sides.

The thought was: fast rolling on smooth stuff and something to dig into the corners. I was dedicated to WTB's Velociraptors, but gave these a try when the Conti rep offered them up and was amazed when I didn't slip and slide anywhere (no mud), and was able to wail along with confidence.

When my Nano 40s were wearing out, the Venture looked to be the descendent of that old Conti design, so I bought them and went tubeless with them.

In the last four months I have to say these are everything I need them to be: I ride on pavement to local minor trails, play around for a while and then ride back home. A little sluggish on pavement (at 30psi for my 40s), and the knobs on the side can be unsettling on uneven pavement when they grab and pull on the layer differences, but on the dirt, rocks and mulch of those little trails they stick and roll with an ease I don't notice on pavement.

It's strange: the more gravel or dirt, the faster they seem to work. I did four rides on the backroads around Pagosa Springs last month, and I remain very impressed with these tires. I've been a WTB fan (tires, saddles) for about 30 years, and the Nano's were excellent, but these are great.

Lots of punctures!

I mostly ride these on the road / paved bike paths and have had at least 4 punctures. The sealant works, but I expect more durability.

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

A great tire in my opinion.

Very good rolling on tarmac but really shines off.

Great grip in the dirt & gravel. Sidewalls might be the only weak spot but have held up reasonably. I punctured one to replacement but it happens. All said, I love how they perform.

Great all around tire

Love this tire!! I put them on my new Trek FX-3, they easily went on and are the perfect all around tire for me. I'm 55 been on a bike all of my life. My rides consists of pavement, gravel and dirt roads and these tires are awesome. Great roll on pavement and more than enough grip for everywhere else I go. I have over 300 miles with no issue.

I have the SG2 Version. LOVE them. Tubeless installation was a breeze. These are not intended for any substantially muddy terrain.

Purchase the SG2 Version along with some Handspun Quality Wheels. A very nice upgrade from my stock tires/ wheels. Highly recommended. Perfect for Road, Gravel, Tight Pack and light trails. NOT good for any substantially muddy terrain.

My Go-to Gravel Tire!

I used theses tires for 500miles across mixed surfaces from asphalt to gravel to single-track. Smooth down the middle for time on the road and great traction ok hard turns or the occasion right corner drift.

Really happy

Switched out my 2.25 mtb tires for these (along with a carbon fork in place of a fox 34) and really like the quickness and responsiveness. I wouldnt take them into the mud but great on hard trails and gravel.

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.

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.
