Specialized Hillbilly Grid Trail

This tire is specifically designed for loose, steep, and wet terrain. Its aggressive tread pattern and deep knobs are built to dig into soft soil and mud, making it an excellent choice for aggressive enduro or downhill riding in challenging weather.

Yes, the Hillbilly Grid Trail is fully tubeless-ready. This setup is highly recommended for this tire, as it allows you to run lower pressures for better traction while significantly reducing the risk of pinch flats.

The GRIPTON T9 compound is a high-damping rubber, which means it is designed to absorb trail chatter and impacts rather than bouncing off them. This provides a more planted, controlled feel, especially when navigating greasy roots or rocks.

Yes, it features a Grid Trail casing with bead-to-bead protection. This construction provides a robust shield against punctures and sidewall cuts, offering the durability needed for demanding gravity sessions.

Because of the aggressive, deep-knob tread pattern, you will notice more rolling resistance on hardpack or pavement compared to a faster-rolling cross-country tire. It is optimized for grip in soft conditions, so it is best used on trails where traction is the priority over pure speed.

The maximum tire pressure is 50 PSI, but for most mountain biking applications, you will likely run it significantly lower. We recommend starting within the 20-30 PSI range depending on your weight, rim width, and whether you are running a tubeless setup.
