Specialized Purgatory Grid 2Bliss Ready 29" tyre

The Purgatory Grid 2Bliss Ready tyre is the standard bearer for trail tyre performance. The tread was optimized to bite hard in loose corners, while exclusive Gripton compound results in a faster, grippier tyre for any off road excursion. Meanwhile, the Grid casing provides the utmost in cut and flat protection at the sidewalls. And of course, the 2Bliss Ready design is the icing on the cake, allowing you to run lower tyre pressures and all but eliminate the risk of pinch flats.

Features

• Additional sidewall protection for exceptional durability, plus sidewall stiffness for stability.
• 2Bliss Ready (tubeless compatible).
• Bead: Foldable.
• Compound: Gripton.

Technologies

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.
