“Gravel Without Limits” Terra TLR is Specialized’s most capable tubeless gravel tire for rugged trails. Built for rough gravel and singletrack adventures where maximum control is non-negotiable. Fast-rolling compact center tread keeps efficiency high on the approach, while wider spaced shoulder knobs provide predictable cornering and handling in the most rugged terrain. GRIPTON T5 compound balances speed and traction, and the 60TPI 3-ply TLR casing eliminates flats while maintaining the performance you need to tackle the trail less traveled.

• GRIPTON T5 Compound: Grippy T5 rubber for traction in rough gravel and technical trail conditions.
• Reinforced Large Knob Tread: Wider spaced shoulder knobs for predictable cornering boosts grip and sheds mud well.
• Fast-Rolling Center Tread: Compact center knobs maintain efficiency and speed between the grippy shoulder knobs.
• 60TPI 3-Ply TLR Casing: Strong and fast-rolling tubeless casing 6% more pinch-flat resistance than previous gen.
• Roval Terra Pairing: Co-engineered with Terra wheels for unmatched speed, strength, and ride quality.
• 2 Sizes: 700x45c (500g), 700x50c (560g). Tan sidewall only.

Use: Rough gravel and rugged trails the most capable gravel tire Specialized makes. Where the Tracer is fast and versatile and the Pathfinder is built for hardpack racing, Terra is optimized for the gnarliest trails where grip and control matter more than pure speed.

Maximum Control on Rugged TerrainThe Terra’s key differentiator is its tread design: wider spaced shoulder knobs provide more predictable cornering and handling in the most rugged terrain. Reinforced large knobs boost speed, grip, and mud-shedding capability meaning you can push harder through corners without worrying about the tire washing out. The compact center tread still rolls efficiently, but the emphasis here is on control when the trail gets rough.T5 Compound Built for Mixed TerrainGRIPTON T5 is Specialized’s grip compound tuned to balance traction with acceptable rolling resistance. On the Terra, T5 is used on both the center and shoulder knobs, with the wider spacing of the shoulder knobs allowing each T5 lug to deform more into loose terrain. One reviewer described running Terra front + Tracer rear as the “perfect combo” for technical trails Terra provides the grip, Tracer provides the speed.Terra + Terra Engineered TogetherThe Terra TLR and Roval Terra wheels are co-developed: they work as a system, not just alongside each other. The Terra TLR requires 6% more force to pinch flat than the previous generation meaningful protection against the impacts that gravel riding delivers. One reviewer noted the 50c size measured 49.85mm with Mitutoku calipers true to size on Roval Terra CL wheels. Another noted it’s “the easiest to set up tubeless” able to seat the bead with just a floor pump.GeneralModelTerra TLR Trail GravelPositionFront & RearUseRough gravel and rugged trails the most capable Specialized gravel tireTerrainRugged trail terrain loose gravel, technical singletrack, mudTypeTubeless-ready (Clincher)Wheel PairingRoval TerraTread & CompoundCompoundGRIPTON T5 grip and stability in rough terrainTread DesignReinforced large knobs (wide-spaced shoulders for cornering) + compact center (fast rolling)Casing60TPI 3-ply TLR casing strong, fast-rolling, tubelessFlat Protection3-ply TLR casing 6% more pinch-flat resistance than previous genWeights700 x 45c500g700 x 50c560gfunction showPanel(id, btn) { document.querySelectorAll(‘.spur-panel’).forEach(p => p.classList.remove(‘active’)); document.querySelectorAll(‘.spur-tab’).forEach(t => t.classList.remove(‘active’)); document.getElementById(‘panel-‘ + id).classList.add(‘active’); btn.classList.add(‘active’);}
