Specialized Butcher Grid Trail

Yes, this tire is tubeless-ready. It is designed to be paired with sealant to provide a reliable, puncture-resistant setup for aggressive trail riding.

The Gripton T9 compound is engineered for high-frequency damping, which helps the tire track predictably over roots and rocks. It excels in diverse conditions, ranging from loose, post-storm mud to hard-packed, groomed corners.

The updated Grid Trail casing offers increased stiffness, which allows for better handling and stability when running lower tire pressures. It also provides a 15% improvement in pinch flat protection and a 30% boost in overall puncture resistance compared to previous versions.

Yes, the redesigned tread pattern features wider shoulder knobs specifically placed to provide extra support when leaning the bike into turns. Combined with the 12% increase in contact patch, you get a very planted feel when pushing hard through corners.

The manufacturer recommends a pressure range of 25 to 50 psi. However, because of the reinforced casing, many riders find they can run on the lower end of that spectrum to maximize grip without sacrificing sidewall support.
