The Raddler Tyre is arranged similarly to WTB’s popular and super-speedy Riddler gravel and CX tyre, but with a bit more bite and better drainage for coping with rough and slick conditions.
This balance is achieved by blending a semi-slick tread, with close, short knobs in the centreline, with larger outer knobs that offer support during cornering and are both spaced apart and bisected by sipes, to help the tyre shed mud and water and its improve traction by doubling the working edges.
Add in a tubeless-ready, high-volume casing, available in 40 and 44mm widths, and you have a seriously hard-wearing gravel tyre that is resistant to flats and will stomp over loose, wet tracks with great efficiency.
SG2 puncture protection is an optional extra to make this already formidable, fast yet rowdy tyre, dubbed “incredibly capable” by BikeRadar, even more versatile.

I recently took my dated and tired old racing bike along to Leeli Cycles for some much needed work. I was cheerfully greeted by Ben the very friendly owner and number one mechanic. He suggested a full service and looked over the bike to access the condition of the other cycle components. A very comprehensive quote was later emailed to me listing all the parts that Ben would require to complete the job. He phoned me as soon as my bike was ready and I hurried along to pick it up. My first reaction was, wow! It looked as good as new and fully roadworthy again. Ben had done an incredible job in transforming my old racer back to its former glory! I'm very pleased to have used Leeli Cycles along with Ben's wealth of mechanical knowledge, sound advice and attention to detail. Even happier still to support this amazing small local business offering great value and excellent customer service. An outstanding shop in every way for all your cycling needs with the personal touch. Pop in and see for yourself. I guarantee you won't be dissapointed.
