Specialized Slaughter Grid 2Bliss Ready 27.5" + tire

Riders have been asking for a tire that can enhance speed, while also giving them confidence while cornering. And by lowering the center tread of the Slaughter Grid 2Bliss Ready tire for high speed, while keeping plenty of knob edges for secure braking, the result is getting you to the bottom first. This tire also features much taller side knobs that provide confident cornering traction, while the Grid casing dramatically improves cut-resistance and stiffness. It's proper for rear usage, but it can also be ridden as a front.

Features

• Additional cap ply for exceptional durability, plus added sidewall stiffness for enhanced stability.
• 2Bliss Ready (tubeless compatible).
• Bead: Foldable.
• Compound: Gripton center 60 a / shoulder 50 a.

Technologies

Gripton compound
The Gripton compound uses 'mostly synthetic rubber reinforced with silicon dioxide', which reduces the amount of energy lost through hysteresis. This basically means less deformation, less heat build-up, and a more efficient tire with improved rolling resistance when compared to natural rubber. The Gripton compound is soft, allowing it to adapt and conform to rough surfaces. It has a durometer of 56 A, making it much softer than other tires, meaning the tire not only conforms to the surface it is rolling over, but also filters vibration, which produces a smoother ride.
