Specialized Butcher Grid Gravity Radial T9 TLR Mountain Tire (Black) (29″) (2.4″)

Specialized Butcher Grid Gravity Radial T9 TLR Mountain Tire Description:

The Specialized Butcher Grid Gravity Radial T9 TLR Mountain Tire capitalizes on the successful tread and compound selection chosen for the original Butcher Grid Gravity tire, only with a construction redesign intended to reinvent how trail riders experience grip and compliance. Specialized applied Radial casing construction for a “Sweet Spot,” leading to lower radial stiffness, preserved lateral stability, and improved ride quality that smooths trails, promoting better control and more speed. Pressure tuning tends to kill compliance as higher PSI settings are applied; Sub-optimized casing angles typically result in less-than-desirable riding experiences. Specialized increased the angle of thread orientation on the Butcher Grid to achieve the Sweet Spot Ply, amplifying traction and comfort by optimizing tire shape conformity, all while preserving the lateral stiffness employed when hitting hard corners.

Engineered radial construction meets the already dominant compound and tread pattern employed on Butcher Grid Gravity Tires. Gripton T9 compound acts with slow rebound, shaped into an optimized tread pattern featuring knobs with a block-on-block design that digs into loose terrain and has the stability and hooked up feeling to inspire the confidence needed to achieve blistering speeds on the trail. Finally, these tubeless-ready tires are safe to use on hookless rims and can be run with tire inserts for even more protection against impacts and pinch flats. Simply add tire sealant, install inserts if desired, set the tire pressure, and get ready to blast down the trail faster than ever before.

Features:

• Radial construction mountain tires suited for trail, Enduro, and e-MTB use
• Grid Gravity Radial features optimized casing angle construction that increases traction and comfort while preserving lateral stiffness
• Slow rebound GRIPTON T9 tread compound conforms to the terrain, resulting in a smooth ride, maximum trail grip, and excellent bike control
• Open tread spacing with alternating center knobs and block-in-block outer knob design bites deep into loose surfaces, while the stiff base block and shoulder knobs minimize tire squirm, inspiring confidence when it is time to let it rip
• 2Bliss Ready design allows for lower tire pressures for improved ride comfort, traction, and fewer flats
• Ideal tread design for loose, rough terrain, and is an excellent front tire when paired with a Specialized Eliminator tire in the rear (Eliminator sold separately)
