Your cart is empty.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.

Well made and had no problem installing or pressurizing on my mountain bike. Note the direction of rotation before installing and consider new inner tubes while you're at it.

Fits perfectly on my 1999 Gary Fisher mountain bike and has great traction. A little bit wider than my old tire which makes my bike handle better.

If you've got an old school 26" bike these tires will turn into into a monster truck. Heavy but amazing.

In a world where everyone wants to run 26+, not all frames support the larger circumference. For those older frames finding a decent rear tire can be a challenge. I was reluctant to buy this tire because I really wanted a 2.3 WTB Trail Boss for the rear but my chainstay clearance was too tight. After my first ride on some technical single track on this tire I’m officially converted. This tire does not slip. On anything. Rocks? No problem. Roots? No problem. This thing grabs like the track on an M1 Abrams Tank. I’m now running this 2.1 Velociraptor out back and a 2.5 WTB Vigilante up front for a mini mullet config. Perfect for my ride style. Just order this tire and rip.

Super agarre, poquito pesada, si es para competir distancia, habrá que sopesar agarre-peso cuál conviene más.

Seems like a good tire but its made in ROC (China). Next time I'll look for replacement MTB tires that are made in Japan or in Taiwan.

These are the best grippy rear tire and the best steering tire I've ever had The pleasure to deal with.These tires should not be 2.1 size they should be 2.35 minimum and up to 2.4 they would sell a lot more tires and then have a lot more usesMy rim is a double wall combat rims.Don't get me wrong they group extremely well I've had no washouts but the tires just too skinny

Llanta excelente, buen agarre y para las colinas más desafiantes es exquisito que estás llantas no derrape, también a sus 27 tpi ayudará a qué duren por un largo tiempo , buena compra.

I am a beginner mountain biker and had my tire stolen. Ordered this tire and couldn't be happier. Rides smoothly and looks good. Installation was easy. No concerns whatsoever. Recommend.

Por muchos meses utilicé mi bici con las llantas tal y como venían desde que la adquirí. Se me dificultaba mucho subir las cuestas/pendientes ( Sierra de Santa Catarina - Tlaltenco - Tlahuac - CDMX, volcán Guadalupe - Tetlalmanche donde hay unas pendientes en verdad retadoras para el MTB) . Normalmente me derrapaba / patinaba y tenía que subir prácticamente caminando. Ahora que adquirí la WTB Velociraptor trasera, el cambio fué fenomenal y subo pendientes que antes no podía, los derrapes de costado de la llanta también son prácticamente cero. Altamente recomendada porque subo/bajo con más confianza. Próximamente cambiaré la delantera (ojo la trasera y delantera de WTB Velociraptor tienen el diseño diferente, por eso fijate cual es rear ( ilustro en la foto) y cual es front. Quizás como deseable aunque la compré en Amazon, el producto que me llegó dice MADE IN CHINA, y la otra es que WTB ya descontinuó las velociraptor en tamaño 26 x 2.1 así que andan escasas para esa medida. Salvo eso todo muy bien.

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.
