Specialized Ground Control Grid 2Bliss Ready T7 Soil Searching Tire

The Ground Control Grid 2Bliss Ready T7 Soil Searching uses an extremely versatile tread pattern which can be used from cross country race to trail, it rolls fast with exceptional amounts of confidence and grip. Our Block-In-Block design uses a taller adaptable inner block to pierce the ground and claw for traction. The larger outer structure supports the inner block for additional speed, traction, support and stable handling. The GRID casing provides a light and supple trail construction with additional sidewall protection for durability and sidewall stability. To top off this build we use our T7 compound to maximize grip and damping. Teaming with Soil Searching, we designed this tan sidewall version to mimic colors in nature to connect our tire even more with the trail. Proceeds benefit Soil Searching which feeds the roots of mountain biking by sponsoring trail builders, hosting dig days, spearheading fundraisers, and providing trail development and maintenance grants.
