Ground Control Grid Lite T5/T7
XC & Lite Trail · Tubeless

Versatile all-rounder for fast rolling and grip. The Ground Control Grid Lite T5/T7 is built for XC and trail riders who want speed without sacrificing grip. The fast-rolling T5 center boosts efficiency and tread life, while grippy T7 shoulders deliver confident cornering and braking. Previously you had to choose between full T5 speed or full T7 traction — now you get both. Race-ready performance with trail confidence in one tire.

  • GRIPTON T5/T7 Dual Compound: T5 center for fast rolling and efficiency, T7 shoulders for confident cornering and braking.
  • Grid Lite 60TPI Casing: Specialized's fastest, most robust XC and trail casing with added puncture protection and stability.
  • XC & Lite Trail Ready: Built for trails with natural and hardpack terrain — versatile across conditions.
  • Tubeless Ready: Lower pressures, better traction, no pinch flats on rough terrain.
  • Versatile All-Rounder: One tire handles both XC speed and trail grip without compromise.

Recommended Pairings:
Trail Control Grid Lite T7 front / Ground Control Grid Lite T5/T7 rear: Fast rolling and control.
Grid Lite T9 front / Grid Trail T7 rear: Grip and durability for aggressive riding.

T5/T7 — The Best of Both Worlds
GRIPTON T5 in the center delivers Specialized's fastest rolling compound for maximum efficiency on straights and flat sections. GRIPTON T7 on the shoulders provides the grip you need for confident cornering and braking. The dual compound design means you no longer have to choose between full T5 speed or full T7 traction — Ground Control Grid Lite gives you both in one tire.
Grid Lite Casing — Fast and Robust
The 60TPI Grid Lite casing is Specialized's fastest, most robust XC and trail casing with added puncture protection and sidewall stability. Compared to the Flex Lite, the Grid Lite offers significantly more protection for aggressive trail riding while maintaining a relatively light weight. It's the right balance for riders who want XC speed with trail durability — the "all-rounder with bite" in the Ground Control lineup.
Pure XC Speed. Trail Grit.
The Ground Control Grid Lite is Specialized's most versatile XC tread — fast rolling with trail-ready grip and control. The center knobs are oriented for low rolling resistance, while the shoulder knobs are shaped and spaced to bite into corners on natural and hardpack terrain. It's the tire to reach for when you want one tire that does it all without sacrificing performance on either end of the spectrum.
