Specialized Terra TLR Trail Gravel Tire (700c) (45mm) (Tan Wall) (Gripton T5)

Specialized Terra TLR Trail Gravel Tire Description:

Designers of gravel bikes are constantly increasing the available tire clearance within their frame and fork designs, and the Specialized Terra TLR Trail Gravel Tire will utilize this available space to inspire the confidence needed to explore less travelled routes. At the core of these tires, a 3-ply TLR casing (with 60TPI per ply) with an optimized overlap between the plies imparts these tires with outstanding handling characteristics, excellent puncture resistance, and remarkably low rolling resistance. Not to be outdone, wrapped around this casing is Specialized’s Gripton T5 compound, which outfits these tires with incredible traction in all conditions while maintaining a level of wear resistance normally found in mountain bike tires. Taking advantage of that remarkable compound is a unique tread pattern that has a compact central tread pattern that creates a freely rolling tire when ripping down hardpack trails; the tread knobs then change shape and become more widely spaced as the tire transitions to the shoulder blocks for predictable traction when it is time to start leaning into a corner, culminating in shoulder knobs that will dig into any terrain for truly impressive cornering capabilities. Add all of these components together, and the result is a rugged and lightweight tire that is ready to tackle any biking adventure no matter how messy or rough the route may get.

Features:

• 3-Ply TLR casing with 60TPI per ply promotes a very smooth ride quality for excellent rider comfort, decreases rolling resistance, improves handling performance, and offers increased puncture resistance while keeping the overall tire weight in check
• Tacky Gripton T5 compound utilized throughout the tread pattern for impressive levels of grip on the trail while achieving mountain bike tire levels of durability
• Compact central tread profile that spreads out towards aggressive shoulder blocks results in a fast rolling tire with gobs of traction that is ready to tackle nasty weather and trail conditions
• 2Bliss Ready bead and tire casing combined with the use of tire sealant allows for lower tire pressures, resulting in improved ride comfort, traction, and fewer flats
