"Specialized's new Grid Gravity Radial tires reinvent how trail riders experience grip and compliance by creating a better balance of radial compliance and lateral support."
"While brands like Schwalbe and Zleen adopted more dramatic radial angles, that shift necessitated revised structures to make up for the loss of lateral support."
"Tweaking casing angles is a relatively straightforward process that doesn't require new tire molds, allowing for quick testing of small changes."
Specialized has introduced the Butcher and Eliminator Grid Gravity Radial tires, featuring a unique 'Sweet Spot Ply' casing design. This design offers a 30% increase in radial compliance and a larger contact patch while maintaining lateral support. Unlike competitors who adopted more extreme radial angles, Specialized's approach balances performance without sacrificing necessary support. Extensive R&D testing led to the selection of a 70° casing angle, optimizing tire performance for trail riders seeking enhanced grip and stability at lower pressures.
