"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I recommend this tire to XC racers who want every bit of rolling speed they can get. The center tread is incredibly fast on hardpack, but the side knobs with the T7 compound still hook up when you lean the bike over in corners.""Race days and fast training laps demand a tire that wastes no energy. The Air Trak Grid Lite T5/T7 TLR XC Tire is built for exactly that purpose, delivering exceptional rolling speed for hardpack cross-country courses. Designed by Specialized with input from elite racers, it keeps us accelerating quickly out of corners and carrying momentum through every section of trail. The tread uses a tightly spaced center pattern paired with the GRIPTON dual T5/T7 compound to balance speed and traction. The T5 compound rolls quickly on straights while the T7 compound on the shoulder knobs adds cornering grip when we push the bike harder into turns. Grid Lite casing keeps weight low while reinforcing the sidewalls for durability and stability, and the tubeless-ready construction helps us run lower pressures for added traction and flat resistance on race courses."
