2027 Specialized Eliminator Grid Gravity Radial T7/T9 TLR

Eliminator Grid Gravity Radial T7/T9 TLREliminator Grid Gravity RadialTrail / Enduro / e-MTB Tubeless 1240g+DescriptionKey FeaturesSpecifications

The Eliminator Grid Gravity Radial reinvents how trail riders experience grip and compliance. By reorienting the Sweet Spot Ply at a greater casing angle, Specialized achieved ground-hugging conformity that amplifies traction and comfort without sacrificing the lateral stiffness needed for hard cornering. The Radial construction creates the Sweet Spot inherently: lower radial stiffness, preserved lateral stability, and a ride quality that makes technical trails feel smoother, faster, and more controlled. T7 center compound rolls fast, T9 shoulder compound grips hard the complete trail package.

• Sweet Spot Ply Radial Casing: Increased casing angle reduces radial stiffness by 30%, increasing tire footprint for more grip.
• GRIPTON T7/T9 Dual Compound: T7 center for fast rolling, T9 shoulders for maximum grip through corners.
• Grid Gravity 60TPI 2-Ply Casing: Extreme-duty construction with bead-to-bead protection for enduro-level riding.
• 30% Larger Footprint: Radial casing construction delivers measurably more ground contact than standard casings.
• 2 Sizes: 27.5×2.4″ (1240g) and 29×2.4″ (1330g).
• e-MTB Rated: Approved for the added weight and demands of electric mountain bikes.

Use: Trail, Enduro, and e-MTB riding on natural and technical terrain. The Radial construction excels where compliance and grip on technical terrain matter most the tire conforms to the ground rather than bouncing off obstacles.

Sweet Spot Ply 30% More FootprintThe key innovation in the Radial tires is the Sweet Spot Ply a casing reinforcement oriented at a specific angle that creates the ideal balance of compliance and stiffness. By increasing that angle, the Radial casing reduces radial stiffness dramatically while preserving lateral stability. The result is a tire that conforms to the trail surface, increasing the contact patch by 30% versus standard casings. More footprint = more grip, without the usual tradeoff of mushy cornering.GRIPTON T7/T9 Fast Rolling, Maximum GripT7 is Specialized’s faster-rolling trail compound a harder rubber that keeps the center of the tread rolling efficiently through straights and rough terrain. T9 is the grip compound soft enough to deform into rocks and roots, providing the traction that keeps you pinned through aggressive corners. The Block-in-Block shoulder knobs use the T9 compound to hold firm while the center rolls fast. This is the same dual-compound philosophy as other high-end trail tires, tuned for aggressive trail and enduro riding.Grid Gravity Casing Built for AbuseGrid Gravity is Specialized’s burliest trail casing: 60TPI 2-ply construction with bead-to-bead protection. It handles the impacts, rock strikes, and repeated abuse of enduro racing and aggressive trail riding. The Radial version takes this durable casing and makes it conform better the best of both worlds: a tough tire that grips like nothing else. e-MTB rating confirms it’s approved for the added weight and torque of electric mountain bikes.GeneralModelEliminator Grid Gravity Radial T7/T9 TLRPositionFront & RearUseTrail, Enduro, e-MTBTerrainNatural and technical trail terrainTypeTubeless-ready (Clincher)Tread & CompoundCompoundGRIPTON T7/T9 dual compound T7 center (fast rolling), T9 shoulders (maximum grip)Tread DesignTrail-optimized with Block-in-Block shoulder knobsCasingSweet Spot Ply 60TPI Grid Gravity 2-ply with bead-to-bead protectionFlat ProtectionGrid Gravity bead-to-bead protection extreme-duty trail and enduroWeights27.5 x 2.4″1240g29 x 2.4″1330gfunction 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’);}
