Trail Control Grid Lite T7 delivers solid bite in soft soil and confident grip on firmer ground using large square lugs that provide predictable traction front or rear. GRIPTON T7 compound balances XC speed with trail grip, and the Grid Lite casing keeps weight at just 840g (27.5x2.4\") — 40g lighter than the Grid Trail version.

Grid Trail is the step-up for heavier trail use. On the Trail Control, the Grid Lite casing saves 40g compared to the Grid Trail version (840g vs 880g for 27.5x2.4\"). Both have bead-to-bead protection, but Grid Lite drops the sidewall reinforcement to keep weight down. If you're riding aggressively but still care about climbing speed and acceleration, Grid Lite is the right choice.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"key-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"key-title\"\u003eGRIPTON T7 — Balanced Speed and Grip\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"key-desc\"\u003eGRIPTON T7 is Specialized's trail-optimized compound: harder than T9, softer than T5. It rolls faster than enduro-grade tires while maintaining the traction confident trail riding requires. The Trail Control uses T7 across the entire tread for consistent grip in all conditions — soft soil, hardpack, mixed terrain. The square lugs work with T7 to provide predictable traction that releases cleanly, keeping cornering behavior intuitive and confidence-inspiring.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"key-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"key-title\"\u003e840g — Near-XC Weight, Real Trail Grip\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"key-desc\"\u003eAt 840g (27.5x2.4\"), the Trail Control Grid Lite T7 is light enough for serious climbing but tough enough for real trail abuse. The Grid Lite casing handles rock strikes and trail debris through bead-to-bead protection, while T7 compound keeps you glued to the trail through corners and rough sections. e-MTB rating means it's approved for the added weight of electric mountain bikes. The result: a tire that climbs like an XC tire and corners like a trail tire.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- SPECIFICATIONS --\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"panel-specs\" class=\"spur-panel\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-category\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eModel\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eTrail Control Grid Lite T7 TLR\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003ePosition\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eFront \u0026amp; Rear\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eUse\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eAggressive XC, Trail, e-MTB\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eTerrain\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eNatural and technical trail terrain\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eType\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eTubeless-ready (Clincher)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-category\"\u003eTread \u0026amp; Compound\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eCompound\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eGRIPTON T7 — balanced speed and grip, all conditions\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eTread Design\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eLarge square lugs for predictable traction front and rear\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eCasing\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003e60TPI Grid Lite — fastest, most robust XC casing with puncture protection\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-key\"\u003eFlat Protection\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-val\"\u003eGrid Lite bead-to-bead protection — XC-derive speed with trail-rated protection\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-category\"\u003eWeights\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"weight-block\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"weight-col\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"size\"\u003e27.5 x 2.4\"\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"g\"\u003e840g\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"weight-col\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"size\"\u003e29 x 2.4\"\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"g\"\u003e860g\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cscript\u003e\nfunction showPanel(id, btn) {\n document.querySelectorAll('.spur-panel').forEach(p =\u003e p.classList.remove('active'));\n document.querySelectorAll('.spur-tab').forEach(t =\u003e t.classList.remove('active'));\n document.getElementById('panel-' + id).classList.add('active');\n btn.classList.add('active');\n}\n\u003c\/script\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Specialized","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ 29 x 2.4","offer_id":52011965940032,"sku":"00125-4241","price":74.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0446\/7487\/5549\/files\/00125-4241_708c7859-e3cf-41f9-8412-e11dffcc4902.jpg?v=1778788488","url":"https:\/\/spokex.com\/products\/2026-specialized-trail-control-grid-lite-t7-tlr","provider":"SX Collective","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
