Specialized Slaughter Grid Trail

This tire is designed for aggressive trail riding, particularly on hard-packed to loose-over-hard terrain. Its semi-slick center tread rolls quickly, while the side knobs provide the bite you need for cornering in varied conditions.

The T7 compound strikes a balance between grip and durability. It is soft enough to conform to trail obstacles for better traction, but firm enough to resist premature wear during long, demanding rides.

No, the Slaughter Grid Trail is designed specifically for tubeless setups. The folding bead is engineered to seat securely on most modern tubeless-ready rims, making the conversion process straightforward with standard sealant and a floor pump.

While it is categorized as all-terrain, the tread pattern is optimized for speed and cornering grip rather than mud shedding. It performs excellently in dry to damp conditions, but you may want a more aggressive, open-tread tire if you frequently ride in deep, thick mud.

The Grid casing adds a layer of cut and puncture protection to the sidewalls. This makes the tire more robust against sharp rocks and trail debris compared to lighter, race-focused casings, giving you more confidence on technical descents.
