Specialized Purgatory Tire

This tire is designed as a versatile all-rounder for cross-country and trail riding. It balances rolling speed on hardpack with enough grip to handle loose or slightly damp conditions, making it a reliable choice for mixed terrain.

Yes, it is a 2Bliss Ready tire, meaning it is specifically designed for tubeless setups. Running it tubeless allows you to lower your tire pressure for better traction and comfort while significantly reducing the risk of pinch flats.

The Gripton T7 compound is engineered to offer a balance between durability and grip. It provides a tacky, confident feel on technical sections and wet roots without sacrificing the rolling speed needed for long climbs.

The GRID casing adds a layer of protection to the sidewalls, which are the most vulnerable part of a mountain bike tire. This construction helps prevent cuts and abrasions from sharp rocks or trail debris without making the tire feel overly stiff or heavy.

You can run this tire between 25 and 50 PSI. For most riders, finding the sweet spot within this range—often on the lower end if you are running tubeless—will provide the best balance of grip and rim protection.

While it is a versatile all-rounder, it performs well in mixed conditions. The tread pattern and rubber compound are designed to maintain traction on damp trails, though it is not a dedicated mud tire.
