Quasi-officially born in the American Midwest, gravel riding is one of the fastest-growing disciplines of cycling. The sense of adventure, conquering new challenges, and simply experiencing a new style of riding beyond pavement are some of its big selling points, but doing so without the proper tires makes the difference between having fun and cursing and hollering on the side of the road. The Specialized Pathfinder delivers the versatility that these adventure-laden rides deserve: fast rolling, lots of grip, serious durability and a whole lot of fun.

The Pathfinder Pro 2Bliss Gravel Tire allows you change and adapt pressures for various conditions and needs, while maintaining integrity and handling characteristics. It is a directional tire with a speed design, but more grip and traction than you'd think, especially at the lower psi range of each size. The pattern also dispels water and fine particles for more cornering confidence in wet or dry conditions. Specialized's GRIPTON compound shines in all areas- speed, rolling resistance, durability, and inherent grip. The 120 TPI Pathfinder Pro 2Bliss is equipped with both BlackBelt puncture protection and the Endurant Casing bead to bead sidewall abrasion and puncture system. This technology also offers structure to support loaded adventure bikes. Available in both 650b and 700c options, this is a tire for those who seek the lonely roads and far horizons.
