It's a tall order to improve the tried-and-true Trail Boss tire, but we promise that's exactly what we've done. The new Trail Boss builds on perfection with a more aggressive tread pattern to match its increased volume. Generous spacing between sizable knobs provides better traction in loose or wet conditions, while staying true to its fleet-footed heritage. Large, supportive side knobs dig deeeeeeep, whether you're leaning into a corner or grabbing a handful of brake. Most often used as a rear tire, the Trail Boss G2 also provides plentiful traction on hard pack trails when used on the front.

good traction for rear tire
I've used WTB tires for years, but this is the first time I've tried the Trail Boss. I got the 2.4 x 29". It installed just fine - not too difficult to get on like some other brands. I have it only on the rear on a hardtail single speed. Because its single speed, on steep hills I can't just gear down, keep my butt on the saddle, and spin - I have to come out of the saddle, so traction is really important. I ride in the desert southwest - from hardback to loose dirt/rocks. I am very happy with the traction on the steep loose stuff. It also rolls great on the fast flowing trails. It's not heavy and has descent sidewall protection. I'll definitely look for this tire again when I need a replacement.

What an amazing tire!!!
For the sake of openness, I did replace some Kenda Honey Badgers so the original tire was meh at best. I am running the Trail Boss front and rear since I mostly ride trail and XC. I figured the Vigilante would be too much for the front so I am running 2.4 front and 2.25 rear, great combo. These bad boys have massive amounts of grip! I gained so much confidence both at speed and in the corners.Made this decision after tons of research on the Maxxis line and glad I chose these over the Ardent.

WTB Trail Boss - "Comp" or the real thing
If it's the lesser model, watch out. Bead to Bead it is 152mm, akin to 56-622. Nowhere near "2.6". And it is wire bead! It will be hopelessly kinked if shipped folded by Amazon. The comp is _not_ tubeless compatible.

Bombproof tires.
I love these tires. Very strong sidewall and I never get punctures on rocks. Only downside is they are a little heavy .
