Clock00:00, Sunday 15th September 2019

WTB invited us out to take a look at how they design and develop bike tyres from their home in the origin of off road riding itself: Marin County. The rich heritage of mountain biking and gravel riding in California is a unique resource for WTB to tap into and refine for their products.

In association with WTB.
