Aspen Team Spec

Yes, it features a high-silica rubber compound designed specifically to improve grip in wet conditions. While it is built for speed, the compound helps maintain traction when the trail gets slick.

Absolutely. The Aspen Team Spec is Tubeless Ready, meaning you can run it without tubes to reduce weight and lower the risk of pinch flats.

The 2.25-inch version is lighter at 650g and optimized for pure speed, while the 2.4-inch version weighs 710g and offers a larger air volume, which provides better shock absorption and stability on rougher terrain.

The high 170 TPI (threads per inch) count creates a very supple casing. This allows the tire to conform better to the ground, providing a more responsive and comfortable feel compared to tires with a lower thread count.

It includes an EXO puncture protection layer, which is a densely woven fabric designed to resist cuts and abrasions. While it is durable for cross-country racing, it is still a lightweight race tire, so it is best suited for groomed trails rather than extremely jagged, sharp rock gardens.
