Specialized Hillbilly Grid Gravity 2Bliss T9 – 29×2.4″

When the weather gets nasty, that’s when you need the Hillbilly. This wet weather tyre features aggressive knobs to punch through the slop and find traction beneath. Wide knob spacing ensures the tyre doesn’t clog with sticky mud and is always free to find grip. Shoulder knob support provides good support in the turn so you can lean over with confidence.

Specialized’s exclusive Sticky Fast T9 rubber compound is designed to improve damping to minimise vibration, keeping the tyre in better contact with the trail and providing a secure, confident ride. The new Grid Gravity casing is beefed up for the rigours of true downhill riding. It’s designed so you can send the biggest jumps and smash through the gnarliest rock gardens without fear of flats. 2Bliss technology allows for an easy tubeless setup to make the most of the tyre’s capabilities.

If you need a tyre to find grip in the mud and slop, you need the Hillbilly. It’s outstanding when the trail is soft and wet, providing much-needed confidence for racing or general riding.
