The Specialized Hillbilly MTB tyre is designed for raw, gravity-focused riding, excelling in steep, slippery, loose, and wet conditions. Specifically engineered to find traction in shifty natural terrain, it brings confidence and control to the unpredictable wild. The tread pattern features aggressive, deep centre knobs and high-volume shoulder blocks to bite through loose soil when cornering. Block-in-block transition knobs reinforce the tyre structure and enhance traction when railing through deep loam, gripping rock slabs, or charging over slippery roots.
Specialized’s exclusive T9 grip compound elevates the Hillbilly’s traction, enabling it to stick in the greasiest conditions. In addition to its ability to grip in slippery situations, the T9 compound is formulated to bring the right amount of damping, reducing tyre bounce and deflection to enhance stability and control in challenging conditions.
This tubeless-ready trail tyre is available in either GRID Trail or GRID Gravity casing, covering trail, all-mountain, enduro, and downhill. GRID Trail’s bead-to-bead protection and stability make it an excellent choice for aggressive riding in rough conditions. GRID Gravity is a burly, two-ply construction designed for durability and puncture protection in extreme conditions, offering 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 by simply adding sealant.
