Specialized Pathfinder

The Pathfinder is a hybrid performer. While it excels on gravel and dirt roads due to its grippy shoulder knobs, the smooth center tread makes it surprisingly fast and efficient on pavement, making it a great choice for mixed-surface rides.

Yes, these are tubeless-ready tires. Running them tubeless is recommended to take full advantage of the lower pressure capabilities, which improves both traction and puncture protection.

This dual-compound construction balances speed and grip. The T2 compound in the center minimizes rolling resistance for straight-line speed, while the T5 compound on the shoulders provides the necessary tackiness for confident cornering.

The 60 TPI casing is designed to be robust and reliable. It offers a balance between suppleness and cut resistance, making it durable enough to handle rough gravel and debris without feeling overly stiff or sluggish.

The Pathfinder is designed for speed, so it isn't a dedicated mud or deep-loose-gravel tire. However, the shoulder knobs provide reliable traction when you lean the bike into corners, offering enough grip for most standard gravel conditions.
