## Description

At a time when mountain bike tires were unquestionably gum walled, the VelociRaptors came out in black and haven't looked back ever since. They changed the game in 1994 with a steering specific front and a rear that could really dig. The VelociRaptors continue to be popular because to put it simply... they just work. Try riding one of the most classic combos of all time.

Review: Worked great on a Vintage MTB - Updated my 26" MTB. Great traction for climbing. Tread pattern worked great.
Review: Excellent tire. - After a couple long rides I'm extremely happy with the back tire I bought. It's thicker than the stock tire that came with my mountain bike and the tread patter really digs. I took it through softly packed sandy material and while my front tire sunk into the ground and didn't want to go forward, my back tire just kept digging forward. The bike was sunk about 2 inches down into this sandy material (up to the rims) but I was still able to push forward. That's no feat of mine. I damn near had a heart attack after a couple minutes of that...but the tire got me through it. I'm so pleased with it that as soon as I have the extra cash I'm going to purchase the front tire of the set. Now the downsides, if you can call it that, are the noise/vibration and installation. When riding on pavement there is a noticable and slight noise from the tire along with a slight vibration. You'll get that with any deeply treaded mountain bike tire but be aware of it if that's a deal breaker for some reason. Installing the tire was difficult at first. It had so much slack around the rim that I couldn't see how it would fit. After thinking it over I was able to get the tire snuggly fit to the rim. I had to inflate my tube most of the way full and tuck either side of the tire (on the rim side of the tire) inwards towards the rims. After tucking in the sides of the tire and inflation the tubes the tire fit perfectly. It's a great tire at a great price and I'm looking forward to buying the front tire.

## Features

- REAR SPECIFIC TREAD - While the front tire is focused on cornering, the rear tire is all about traction with wide spaced knobs that tear into the trail for maximum braking performance and traction on tough downhill trails.
- PERFORMANCE OFF-ROAD – As the name suggests, this tire is built to tear through dirt and trails, delivering outstanding grip, even on rocky surfaces, thanks to our DNA compound.
- WIRE BEAD LIGHTWEIGHT – Featuring the durability of a wire bead with the lightweight efficiency of a single-ply casing, these tires are perfect when paired with WTB tubes for optimal performance and longevity.
- OUR MOST POPULAR TIRE - The VelociRaptor has been delivering excellent traction for decades and there’s a reason why it’s our most popular tire.
- AVAILABLE IN 26” - Compatible with most mountain bikes, even back to when we first started making them in 1994

## Questions & Answers

**Q: My old tire is 26 x 2.3. Will this work?**
A: In short, yes it will.  This VelociRaptor 26x21 tire will be a little narrower as it is a 2.1, not a 2.3.  You could also consider a Vigilante 26 x 2.3 Comp tire as another alternative, which matches your old tire size.

**Q: My old tire size is 26 X 2.0. Will this fit? Thank you.**
A: This will fit on most bikes that originally had 26" x 2.0" tires.

**Q: My old tire states i need a 26 × 1.95 can i use these with no problem**
A: Yes, your rims should be compatible.

**Q: Where are these made?**
A: Says made in China on the tag. The one I bought was defective, with the tread not aligned and the sidewall warped.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice tire
*by M***K on August 6, 2025*

I brought my old Stumpy M2 back to life and bought both the front and rear Velociraptors. Most of my friends have converted their old Stump Jumpers to street cruisers. Not me, I like dirt. And this grabs the dirt like the OG ones did.
