The WTB Byway RS is a fast-rolling gravel tire designed around efficiency on pavement and hardpack while retaining predictable traction when the road gets loose. A slick centerline keeps rolling resistance low, while the low-profile transition and shoulder tread provide grip when cornering. The RS version also adds aerodynamic features to the sidewalls, helping reduce drag at higher speeds.

Who It's For The Byway RS is for gravel riders who spend a lot of time on pavement and fast hardpack gravel but still want a tire capable of handling loose surfaces. It's particularly suited to gravel racing, fast group rides, and mixed-surface routes where rolling efficiency is a priority. The 50mm volume adds comfort and stability without resorting to an aggressive gravel tread.
