The Hillbilly is a gravity-focused tyre, excelling in steep, slippery, loose, and wet conditions. Designed specifically to find traction in shifty natural terrain, it brings confidence and control to the unpredictable wild. The mountain bike tyre tread pattern features an aggressive design with deep centre knobs and high-volume shoulder blocks to bite through loose soil when cornering. Block-in-block transition knobs reinforce the tyre structure, aid traction, and lower rolling resistance, from plowing deep loam to railing rock slabs and charging over slippery roots.
Specialized's exclusive Sticky Fast T9 rubber compound elevates the Hillbilly's traction, enabling it to stick everywhere, even in the greasiest conditions. In addition to its ability to grip in slippery situations, the T9 compound is formulated to bring just the right amount of damping, reducing tyre bounce and deflection to enhance stability and control in challenging conditions.
This tubeless-ready trail tyre features GRID Gravity casing, a burly, two-ply construction designed for durability and puncture protection in extreme conditions. This offers incredible strength and exceptional tyre stability when loaded hard into corners and compressed into jump faces. The Hillbilly is a TLR ready clincher for easy mounting and inflation with or without tubes when sealant is added.
