WTB builds better because life’s better on a bike. With over 40 years designing saddles, tyres, wheels and more, they bring ride-winning tech down to gear that welcomes everyone.

Kiwi trails, local streets, long gravel roads—WTB gear works to make every ride comfortable, dependable and worth remembering.

Wilderness Trail Bikes (WTB) began as a group of riders in Marin County, California, who grew tired of gear that couldn’t keep up. Starting in 1982, founders Mark Slate, Steve Potts, Charlie Cunningham and Lance Wyeth turned their trail frustrations into components built for real riding. They introduced a steel trail frame in the early years, the first 29-inch tyre in 1999, and have kept pushing innovation ever since.

The history of WTB benefits you every time you saddle up. You get technology born from trail riding, honed by racing and testing, now engineered into everyday parts—saddles that relieve pressure, tyres that grip loose gravel and wheels built to last.
