INTRODUCING THE NEW T9 TIRE COMPOUND
STICKY FAST
Introducing T9, our stickiest traction to date. The latest addition to the Specialized Trail compound series, T9 was created for riders looking to push the envelope on descents, perfect if you want to stick it to gravity
We approached the development of this compound with suspension principles at the forefront because suspension starts with your tires. Our engineering team crafted T9 to maximize its rebound and damping characteristics. Too much rebound and tires act like a bouncy ball sending riders pinballing all over the trail. Too much damping will make it feel like you’re riding on chewing gum; too squishy and without definition. We’ve crafted T9 to be just right, finding a perfect balance that significantly reduces trail deflection and dampens impact in order to translate that energy to traction. Simply put they stick to the trail so you can brake later, send it farther and ride faster.
T9 is available in Eliminator, Hillbilly, and Butcher tread designs on our Gravity Grid casing for heavy use downhill days when puncture protection is paramount.
For trail riders with long climbs in their future we’ve made a T9 equipped Butcher in our all-purpose Grid Trail casing giving riders the combination of our tackiest rubber in our widest ranging tread design on a trail weight casing, think of it as gravity tire on a climbing diet.
