Specialized Butcher DH

The Butcher DH is specifically engineered for gravity-focused riding and downhill racing. Due to its heavy dual-ply casing and wire bead, it is significantly heavier than a standard trail tire, which will make climbing and general trail riding feel sluggish.

No, this specific version of the Butcher DH is designed as a tube-type tire. It features a wire bead and is not optimized for tubeless setups.

This tire excels in technical, loose, and gnarly terrain. The ramped center knobs keep you rolling fast on straights, while the aggressive shoulder knobs are designed to bite into soft or loose dirt during hard cornering.

The dual-ply casing is built for durability and pinch protection, which creates a very stiff, supportive sidewall. While this adds weight, it provides excellent stability and prevents the tire from folding or squirming when you are pushing hard through high-speed corners.

The tire uses a harder 70a base compound for structural support and a softer 42a top compound for grip. This combination allows the tire to maintain its shape under load while the softer outer rubber conforms to the trail surface for better traction.
