The latest generation of the World-Cup-proven intermediate tire the Butcher GRID TRAIL 2 Bliss Ready receives an entirely new tread pattern. Wider shoulder knobs better support load under hard cornering while the biting edges of the shoulder knobs are moved further inside & the center blocks have been staggered & spaced better for a smoother transition when leaning the bike over. Meanwhile our proprietary GRIPTON compound improves high frequency damping attaching the tire to the ground better on both small bumps & rough sections. The low frequencies of the rolling tire deflections pass through unfiltered leaving no energy absorbed & keeping speed high. Once you ride the Butcher youll never want another tire for your gravity excursions. Our new GRID TRAIL casing is stiffer delivering better handling at lower pleasures—all while increasing pinch flat protection by 15% & puncture protection by 30%. Its the perfect choice for your gravity excursions—one ride & youll be hooked. Casing: Additional bead to bead protection for exceptional durability plus sidewall stiffness stability. Bead: Foldable Butyl wrapped bead = 2 Bliss Ready Compound: GRIPTON
