Specialized Purgatory GRID 2Bliss Ready

This tire is designed as a versatile trail performer. Its tread pattern is optimized to bite into loose corners and varied off-road surfaces, making it a reliable choice for general trail riding rather than specialized mud or hardpack conditions.

2Bliss Ready means the tire is designed to be run tubeless. By using a butyl-wrapped bead, it creates a secure seal with your rim, allowing you to run lower tire pressures for better traction and significantly reducing the risk of pinch flats.

The GRID casing adds extra protection to the sidewalls. This provides increased durability against cuts and abrasions while also adding stiffness, which helps the tire maintain stability and shape when cornering hard.

GRIPTON is Specialized's proprietary rubber compound. It is engineered to balance two often-conflicting traits: it provides high levels of grip for confidence in turns while remaining fast-rolling for efficiency on climbs and flats.
