T7 on the shoulders provides confident cornering grip without the drag penalty of a full grip compound. The dual-compound design means you don’t have to choose between speed and traction the Fast Trak Grid Lite delivers both.Grid Lite XC Speed with Sidewall ProtectionThe 60TPI Grid Lite casing adds sidewall protection compared to the lighter Flex Lite casing. This makes the Grid Lite the “all-rounder” in the Fast Trak lineup it’s still significantly lighter than a full Grid Trail casing, but the reinforced sidewalls give you extra confidence on rougher XC trails without the weight penalty of a trail casing. 110g lighter than the previous generation.5% Faster Rolling, World Cup ProvenThe reduced knob height and compact center design deliver measurable improvements in rolling resistance.
