Pathfinder TLR Fast Gravel Tire
Pathfinder TLR
Gravel Racing · Hardpack · Tubeless

The speed you want, the traction you need. The all-new Pathfinder TLR is 19% faster, 25g lighter, and 30% more cut-resistant than its predecessor — making the winningest gravel tire even better. Its fast-rolling tread and high-speed center T2 compound ensure top straight-line velocity, while the grippier T5 compound on the shoulder knobs enhances cornering traction. The strong, fast-rolling TLR casing delivers rapid acceleration and top climbing performance while preventing flats. For sheer speed on hardpack, Pathfinder is the ultimate choice.

  • GRIPTON T2/T5 Dual Compound: T2 center for maximum straight-line speed, T5 shoulders for cornering grip.
  • 19% Faster: Measurable improvement in rolling resistance vs previous generation.
  • 25g Lighter: Significant weight reduction over the previous Pathfinder.
  • 30% More Cut-Resistant: New casing construction handles rough hardpack without sacrificing speed.
  • 60TPI 3-Ply TLR Casing: Strong, fast-rolling tubeless casing with added flat protection.
  • Roval Terra Pairing: Engineered as a seamless duo — proven at Unbound with multiple victories.
  • 4 Sizes: 700x35c through 700x50c to cover every gravel build.

Use: Gravel hardpack racing. Best on hardpack surfaces. Tan sidewall available.

T2/T5 — Gravel Speed and Grip
GRIPTON T2 in the center is Specialized's fastest rolling gravel compound — minimal resistance for top straight-line velocity on hardpack. T5 on the shoulders provides confident cornering traction without the drag penalty of a softer compound. The dual-compound design is optimized for gravel racing where you need speed on the straights and grip when it's time to rail corners.
19% Faster, 25g Lighter, 30% Stronger
The new Pathfinder TLR represents a major step forward: 19% faster rolling, 25g lighter, and 30% more cut-resistant than its predecessor. This isn't a marginal improvement — it's a generational jump that makes the Pathfinder even more dominant on hardpack. The 3-ply TLR casing delivers the durability needed for rough gravel while keeping weight down compared to heavier constructions.
Unbound Proven
The Pathfinder TLR + Roval Terra wheelset combination has been proven at Unbound — the world's largest gravel race. Sofía Gómez Villafañe of Specialized Off-Road Team called it "the fastest, toughest tire out there." The pairing delivers 6% more pinch-flat resistance than the previous generation, so you can push harder through rough sections without worrying about flats.
