Trail Control Grid Trail T7 TLR Tire

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I run this as a rear tire behind a more aggressive front, because the T7 compound is the right call for rolling efficiency without giving up braking traction. The Grid Trail casing handles the punishment of repeated rock and root strikes without feeling sketchy at tubeless pressures, and the square lug geometry transitions cleanly between soil types mid-corner."

The GRIPTON T7 compound in the Trail Control Grid Trail T7 TLR rolls fast on hardpack and firm trail surfaces while holding enough edge and braking bite to stay composed on looser terrain. The square lug geometry reinforces that balance, offering a predictable transition between traction states that suits both XC race lines and aggressive trail pacing. The 60TPI Grid Trail casing provides the structural foundation for running tubeless at lower pressures without introducing pinch-flat risk. Bead-to-bead protection extends casing durability across the full contact area, which matters on XC and E-MTB applications where sidewall loading is higher.
