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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul class=\"desc-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGRIPTON T7 Compound:\u003c\/strong\u003e Balanced speed and grip — rolls fast with confident trail traction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge Square Lug Tread:\u003c\/strong\u003e Predictable traction across nearly all conditions — soft soil, firm ground, everything between.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrid Trail 60TPI Casing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Durable trail construction with bead-to-bead protection at a reasonable weight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e880g at 27.5x2.4\":\u003c\/strong\u003e Significantly lighter than Grid Gravity tires — fast-rolling without going full XC.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 Sizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 27.5x2.4\" (880g) and 29x2.4\" (930g).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Pairing:\u003c\/strong\u003e T7 front + T7 rear for support and low rolling resistance; T9 front + T7 rear for aggressive riding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUse: Aggressive XC, trail riding, and e-MTB — the do-it-all tire for riders who push limits without going full enduro.

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.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"key-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"key-title\"\u003eLarge Square Lugs — Do-It-All Tread\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"key-desc\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"key-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"key-title\"\u003eGrid Trail — Trail-Weight Protection\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"key-desc\"\u003eGrid 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.\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 Trail 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 Trail with bead-to-bead 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 Trail bead-to-bead protection — trail-rated puncture resistance\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\"\u003e880g\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\"\u003e930g\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 \/ 27.5\/650B x 2.4","offer_id":52011965874496,"sku":"00125-4230","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 29 x 2.4","offer_id":52011965907264,"sku":"00125-4231","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0446\/7487\/5549\/files\/00125-4230_91a5ee4a-1af6-4f4d-9c34-53e5abeba671.jpg?v=1778788485","url":"https:\/\/spokex.com\/products\/2026-specialized-trail-control-grid-trail-t7-tlr","provider":"SX Collective","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
