The Specialized Butcher GRID TRAIL 2Bliss Ready tire features a tread pattern wide shoulder knobs for better support load under hard cornering and the biting edges of the shoulder knobs are moved further inside. The center blocks have been staggered and spaced better for a smoother transition when leaning the bike over.

Meanwhile, Specialized's proprietary GRIPTON® compound improves high frequency damping, attaching the tire to the ground better on both small bumps and rough sections. The low frequencies of the rolling tire deflections pass through unfiltered, leaving no energy absorbed and keeping speed high. Once you ride the Butcher, you'll never want another tire for your gravity excursions. The new GRID TRAIL casing is stiffer, delivering better handling at lower pressures—all while increasing pinch flat protection by 15% and puncture protection by 30%. It's the perfect choice for your gravity excursions—one ride and you'll be hooked.
