43.8 % · rank 15 of 33 comparable Enduro tires
41.7 % behind the best value in the same test series. A higher percentage is better – the tire cushions hard edges for longer.
Width, casing, compound and pressure – every value on this page follows your pick.
Width, casing and compound decide how a tire really rides. We only show what was actually measured – and label estimates honestly.
Reference: recommended pressure 28 psi (1.93 bar) – an assumption, not a test pressure.
More pressure: less rolling resistance, less grip, less comfort. Tougher casing: more protection, more weight. Softer compound: more grip, more rolling resistance.
Modelled values are assumptions based on the stated measurement points – not a lab test.

Weaker in comparison
1,605 g · rank 31 of 31 comparable Enduro tires
623 g behind the best value in the same test series. Fewer grams is better, but usually costs casing stability.

November 2019The new WTB Vigilante 2.5 was tested directly against its predecessor on various trails. Despite the added volume, the all-rounder character is retained while grip improves further. The tread impresses both on climbs and in fast descents.
