Ground Control Grid 2Bliss Ready T7
Ground Control Grid T7
XC / Trail · GRID Casing · 2Bliss Ready · 800g+

The Ground Control Grid 2Bliss Ready T7 uses an extremely versatile tread pattern which can be used from cross country race to trail — it rolls fast with exceptional amounts of confidence and grip. The Block-In-Block design uses a taller adaptable inner block to pierce the ground and claw for traction, supported by a larger outer structure for additional speed, traction, support, and stable handling. GRIPTON T7 compound maximizes grip and damping, and the GRID casing provides a light and supple trail construction with additional sidewall protection for durability and sidewall stability.

  • Block-In-Block Tread: Tall inner block pierces ground and claws for traction; outer structure adds speed, support, and stable handling.
  • GRIPTON T7 Compound: Maximizes grip and damping — balanced compound for XC/trail riding.
  • GRID 60 TPI Casing: Light and durable XC/Trail construction with sidewall protection and stability.
  • 2Bliss Ready: Butyl-wrapped bead for tubeless compatibility — easy setup, reliable seal.
  • 5 Size Options: 27.5 x 2.35", 27.5 x 2.6", 27.5 x 3.0", 29 x 2.2", 29 x 2.35".
  • Versatile Use: Cross country race to trail — fast rolling with exceptional grip across varied terrain.

Use: Cross country race, trail riding, e-MTB — the GRID option for riders who want sidewall protection without the bead-to-bead layer of Grid Trail. Works well front and rear. Available in Black and Brown (tan-style) sidewall.

Block-In-Block — Ground Control Signature Design
The Block-In-Block design is the Ground Control's defining feature. The taller adaptable inner block deforms into the terrain and claws for traction — it adapts rather than deflects. The larger outer structure supports the inner block, adding speed and stability so you don't sacrifice rolling efficiency for grip. This is the tread pattern that reviews describe as "transformative" — riders switching from heavier DH tires report going faster with less effort, and those pairing it front/rear or with other Specialized tires report excellent balanced setups.
T7 — The Trail-Balanced Compound
GRIPTON T7 maximizes grip and damping — it's softer and more confidence-inspiring than T5 (race speed), without the full grip of T9 (gravity). For XC and trail riding, T7 is the sweet spot: it holds up well over miles, rolls faster than gravity compounds, and still provides the traction you need in corners and mixed terrain. One reviewer paired T7 front with T5 rear for a "perfect combo" — T7 up front for grip, T5 out back for speed.
GRID — Light Protection Without the Weight
GRID casing provides sidewall protection and stability without the bead-to-bead layer that adds weight in Grid Trail. At 800-1050g depending on size, the Ground Control Grid is lighter than the Grid Trail version. Sidewall protection panels handle the rock strikes and debris that trail riding delivers. One reviewer who puts serious miles on their Levo says the Ground Control is "faster rolling than the stock Eliminator tire on the rear and much more predictable" — high praise from the enduro segment.
