Few tires can match the pedigree of the Specialized Fast Trak, and what could be better than more versions of one of the most capable XC race tire ever made. Where speed and trail tough cut-resistance intersect, you'll find the Fast Trak CONTROL 2Bliss Ready T5 tire. It takes the legendary tread design of the Fast Trak a step further by manipulating each knob with Finite Element Analysis (FEA).

Many riders love speed and distance over versatile XC Trail conditions, but desire more protection and grip overall. The Fast Trak GRID 2Bliss Ready T5 Tire was built to race, but is great for everyday XC performance riding. It takes the legendary tread design of the Fast Trak a step further by manipulating each knob with FEA, creating more consistent shoulder blocks for better cornering traction, while also optimizing Block in Block design, which 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.

Adding to this, the Fast Trak profile and knob spacing has been optimized for a wide variety of internal rim widths. The GRID casing provides a light and supple trail construction with additional sidewall protection for durability and sidewall stability. The tread of this 2Bliss Ready version is also slightly wider compared to the S-Works version, which protects the sidewalls and delivers additional cornering bite. The 60 TPI CONTROL casing has a slight extension in the casing overlap to deliver the impressive prevention of pinch flats. Not to be forgotten, the proprietary, fast rolling GRIPTON® T5 compound gives the tire a livelier feel and more grip in either wet or dry conditions, while maintaining low rolling resistance and durability.
