SwitchBack Tire 16"

The Warp 9 SwitchBack Tire 16 x 3.50 is a dual sport tire built for riders who split time between pavement, backroads, and trail systems. Its narrow knobby tread configuration is designed to deliver dependable traction and a confident bite in dirt, gravel, and medium off-road terrain, while keeping predictable handling for urban riding and hardpack trails. A durable 4-ply carcass helps it handle aggressive riding with stability and puncture resistance where it counts. Unlike traditional directional setups, this SwitchBack size is designed for front or rear fitment, giving more flexibility when choosing a mixed-terrain setup.

Narrow knobby tread

The SwitchBack uses a narrow knobby tread configuration to provide confident bite across mixed surfaces. It’s intended to feel predictable in urban riding while still delivering traction on gravel roads, hardpack trails, and medium off-road terrain, making it a versatile option for mixed-condition adventures.

Durable 4-ply build

Constructed with a durable 4-ply carcass, the SwitchBack is built to handle aggressive riding demands while maintaining stability. The 4-ply construction is also aimed at puncture resistance where it counts when riding a mix of pavement, backroads, and trail systems.

Front or rear fitment

All available SwitchBack tire sizes are designed for front or rear fitment rather than traditional directional-only setups. That added flexibility makes it easier to build a matched setup or use the tire where it best suits your bike and riding conditions.

Product Overview

Built for pavement, backroads, and trail systems, the Warp 9 SwitchBack is designed as a do-it-all tire for riders who want 1 setup capable of handling the commute, the trailhead, and everything in between.
