Specialized Hillbilly GRID Tire

The Hillbilly is designed primarily as a front tire. Its tread pattern, featuring small center knobs for ground penetration and supportive shoulder knobs, is optimized to provide the steering precision and traction needed for intermediate to soft trail conditions.

Yes, this tire is tubeless-ready. Setting it up tubeless allows you to run lower tire pressures for better traction and comfort while significantly reducing the risk of pinch flats.

This tire excels in intermediate to soft terrain. The tread design is specifically engineered to bite into loose dirt and mud, giving you a reliable connection to the trail where other tires might slip.

The GRID casing includes an additional cap ply that adds significant durability and sidewall stiffness. While this makes the tire more robust against punctures and cuts, it also provides extra stability in fast corners, preventing the tire from squirming under load.

Yes, this specific model is sized for 650B wheels, which is the industry standard for 27.5-inch mountain bike tires. It has a bead seat diameter of 584 mm.

The GRIPTON compound is designed to improve high-frequency damping. In practice, this means the tire absorbs small bumps and vibrations better than standard rubber compounds, resulting in a smoother ride and improved traction over rough sections.
