Alpine JB Tire

Product Information

The Ritchey Alpine JB Gravel Tire stands out with its unique VFA (Vector Force Analysis) tread design, which is mostly recessed into the rubber rather than relying on traditional protruding knobs. This innovative approach delivers lower rolling resistance and a smoother ride compared to conventional knobby tires, while still maintaining excellent grip and confidence across varied terrain. It's an ideal choice for riders tackling everything from well-maintained country roads to gritty gravel paths and roads with minimal upkeep.

Designed for durability, the inverse tread pattern also means there are no prominent knobs to wear down quickly. Whether you're planning an all-day ride on smooth pavement or exploring challenging mixed-surface routes, the Alpine JB provides a versatile and robust solution.
