Specialized Butcher Grid 2Bliss Ready T7 29" tyre
The latest generation of the World-Cup-proven intermediate tire, the Butcher GRID 2Bliss Ready, receives sawtooth faces on the tread blocks to increase stability under load and provide additional biting edges. This, in turn, improves rolling speed as well as control under hard braking and cornering. Meanwhile, the 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. The T7 compound offers a perfect blend of grip and long lasting performance. Once you ride the Butcher, you will never want another tire for your gravity excursions. Specialized recommend GRID tires for anyone seeking the utmost in flat and sidewall protection or additional stability.

Technology
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 tyre 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 tyres, meaning the tyre not only conforms to the surface it is rolling over, but also filters vibration, which produces a smoother ride.
