A stretched, properly raised knob configuration across the center and transition area provides many edges to keep you in complete control while turning, braking, and for your dismounts/mounts. Slightly higher shoulder knobs also allow for confident cornering at high speed. The GRIPTON® compound, meanwhile, stays supple in freezing temperatures and even delivers surprising grip over wet roots. All this makes the Tracer Pro a tremendous gravel and adventure Tire Specialized, as it rolls well on asphalt and hooks up on earth and gravel. And with this 2Bliss Ready version, you'll also benefit from its versatility, ability to run lower Tire Specialized pressures, and added puncture protection.
