Specialized Butcher Grid Trail

This tire is specifically engineered for gravity-focused and aggressive trail riding. Its reinforced casing and wider shoulder knobs are designed to handle high-speed cornering and rough terrain, making it overkill for casual, flat-ground riding.

Yes, it features a tubeless-ready design. This allows you to run lower tire pressures for better traction and comfort while significantly reducing the risk of pinch flats.

The GRIPTON rubber compound is designed to improve high-frequency damping. Essentially, it helps the tire absorb small bumps and vibrations, keeping the tread in better contact with the ground for more predictable traction without slowing you down.

While the Butcher is built for durability and grip, the staggered center block design helps maintain a smoother, more efficient transition. It won't feel as fast as a dedicated cross-country tire, but it balances rolling speed well for a gravity-oriented tread.

The maximum pressure is 50 PSI. However, because this is a tubeless-ready tire designed for trail performance, you will likely find the best handling and grip at much lower pressures.
