Trail Control Grid Trail T7 TLR
Trail Control Grid Trail T7
Aggressive XC / Trail · Tubeless · 880g

The do-it-all tire for aggressive trail riding — built for riders who push limits. Trail Control 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 60TPI Grid Trail casing keeps weight reasonable without sacrificing the puncture protection trail riding demands. At 880–930g, it's notably lighter than the burly Grid Gravity tires, making it the right choice for riders who want enduro capability without paying the weight penalty.

  • GRIPTON T7 Compound: Balanced speed and grip — rolls fast with confident trail traction.
  • Large Square Lug Tread: Predictable traction across nearly all conditions — soft soil, firm ground, everything between.
  • Grid Trail 60TPI Casing: Durable trail construction with bead-to-bead protection at a reasonable weight.
  • 880g at 27.5x2.4": Significantly lighter than Grid Gravity tires — fast-rolling without going full XC.
  • 2 Sizes: 27.5x2.4" (880g) and 29x2.4" (930g).
  • Recommended Pairing: T7 front + T7 rear for support and low rolling resistance; T9 front + T7 rear for aggressive riding.

Use: Aggressive XC, trail riding, and e-MTB — the do-it-all tire for riders who push limits without going full enduro. The 880g weight makes it fast enough for XC efforts but with the durability and traction for real trail abuse.

T7 Compound — Balanced Speed and Grip
GRIPTON T7 is Specialized's trail-optimized compound: harder than T9, softer than T5. The result is a tire that rolls faster than enduro tires without sacrificing the traction needed for confident trail handling. The Trail Control uses T7 across the entire tread surface for consistent grip and predictable behavior in all conditions. One reviewer noted these roll "way faster" than full downhill tires while retaining about 87% of the grip — the right balance for aggressive trail riding that still expects to climb.
Large Square Lugs — Do-It-All Tread
The Trail Control's large square lugs are designed for predictability — they bite consistently whether you're on soft soil, hardpack, or anything in between. Square lugs provide a defined contact patch that grips predictably and releases cleanly. No weird transition behavior, no unexpected breakaway. The tread works front or rear, making it an ideal set-and-forget tire for the kind of riding where you can't predict what the trail will throw at you.
Grid Trail — Trail-Weight Protection
Grid Trail sits between XC casings and the burly Grid Gravity: 60TPI with bead-to-bead protection, but lighter than the 2-ply DH constructions. It handles rock strikes, roots, and trail debris without the weight of a full enduro casing. e-MTB rating confirms it handles the extra weight and torque of electric mountain bikes. At 880–930g, you're not hauling unnecessary rubber up the climbs — but you're still protected on the descents.
