Description
The Specialized Pathfinder TLR Gravel Tire is engineered for speed and efficiency on hardpacked surfaces while maintaining the versatility needed for off-road adventures. Featuring an updated tread pattern with increased knob size and spacing towards the edges, it enhances traction on loose terrain without compromising rolling efficiency. The GRIPTON T2 compound in the center ensures maximum straight-line speed, while the T5 side knobs provide confident cornering grip, making it the winningest tire in gravel racing. Compared to its predecessor, the new Pathfinder TLR reduces rolling resistance by 19% and improves cornering speed, offering a smoother and faster ride. With an optimized knob layout that shaves 25 grams off its weight, the tire delivers effortless climbing, faster acceleration, and precise handling on varied terrain.
Built for durability and performance, the Pathfinder TLR features a reinforced TLR casing that provides 14% more cut resistance than the previous Pro casing and 30% more than the discontinued S-Works version. The center overlap casing fold ensures fast rolling while maintaining flexible sidewalls for improved compliance. Designed for long-distance gravel adventures, the tire is available in 700x35 (380g), 700x40 (470g), and 700x45 (520g), with tan sidewalls for all sizes and an additional black option in 40c. Whether racing or exploring, the Pathfinder TLR sets a new standard in gravel performance.
