Description of WTB Horizon 650 x 47c Road TCS Tire: Superior Performance and Exceptional Durability for Unmatched Road Adventures

Smooth centerline with herringbone outer tread. Rounded profile with vertical channels to enhance cornering capabilities and suppleness. Dual DNA Rubber uses a fast and efficient compound along the centerline of the tread, while a softer compound provides increased traction at the side knobs.

Excellent gravel tire

Incredibly durable road and off-road tire. I ride them on 27.5 inch mountain bike wheels attached to my Giant TCX to give me a great gravel bike experience. The tubeless kit was very light and provided a lot of off-road kilometers.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Functionality

Great tire to ride - tires

I got a new bike that had a pair of these tires on. They handle a lot better than the more typical 700 x 30c tire I had on my previous bike. At the same time, they even seem to have less rolling resistance! I bought them for a friend's bike and she loves them too.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

Wow super impressed

I ride them with cameras just FYI. On the street they are just a bomb. com, but where they really shine and have noticed a big difference is on gravel and packed dirt. Virtually no drag compared to MTB tread patterns. I've ridden some pretty tough trails and roads full of rocks, curbs and other debris like glass and haven't hit a flat yet.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Safety

Much better than expected

Generally a well made tire that handles the road very well when standing right and going straight in the middle of the road. Once you enter a corner they really shine as the different compounds seem to grip at different levels when you need to lean the bike and stay on the road. I really like the tires and they fit perfectly on my 2017 Diamondback Haanjo EXP with no play or friction issues. They measure just under 47 millimeters and offer an exceptional ride, especially at around 45psi and I…

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Some flaws

Great tyre, I like the high volume option for my road/gravel bike

I bought these tires for my Traitor hiking touring bike. I mostly ride the bike on gravel and dirt and previously had Maxxis Happy Medium 700x42 tires. With those 700x42 tires mounted, the frame is maximized with no room for full fenders. A week-long trek from Pittsburgh to Washington DC wearing RaceBlade-style quick-release fenders proved they weren't made for gravel riding. After three days of riding, the rear fender caught on my rear wheel and broke the chain. This resulted in an 8 hour…

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Out of fashion
