Specialized Hillbilly Mountain Tire

The Hillbilly is designed specifically for intermediate to soft terrain. Its small, aggressive tread blocks are engineered to penetrate loose dirt, mud, or loam, providing a secure connection where other tires might slip.

The Gripton T9 compound is a high-dampening rubber that rebounds slowly. This means the tire absorbs impacts and sticks to the trail surface rather than bouncing off obstacles, giving you significantly more control and traction on technical sections.

Yes, it is built with a robust 2-ply GRID Gravity casing. This construction is designed to handle the demands of aggressive enduro riding by offering increased stability and superior flat protection, even when you are pushing hard through corners.

While it is optimized as a tubeless-ready tire for the best performance and puncture resistance, it features a folding bead and can be used with inner tubes if you prefer. However, running it tubeless is recommended to take full advantage of the tire's design and flat protection.

The tire weighs 1240g. Given its focus on durability and aggressive tread, it is on the heavier side, prioritizing stability and puncture resistance over lightweight climbing performance.
