Specialized Eliminator Tire

This tire is specifically engineered as a rear tire. Its tread pattern is optimized for traction and stability under power, making it an excellent partner for a more aggressive front tire like the Specialized Butcher.

The dual compound uses the firmer T7 rubber in the center for durability and rolling speed, while the softer T9 rubber on the side knobs provides extra grip and tackiness when you lean the bike into corners.

Yes, the Eliminator is fully tubeless-ready. Using it with sealant will allow you to run lower tire pressures for better traction and significantly reduce your risk of pinch flats.

The Grid Gravity casing is one of Specialized's most robust options, designed with extra sidewall reinforcement to prevent cuts and punctures when riding aggressive, technical terrain at high speeds.

Not at all. Despite its aggressive tread, the Eliminator features a fast-rolling center pattern that keeps your momentum high on flatter sections, balancing that speed with the grip you need for technical descents.
