Specialized Pathfinder Pro 2Bliss Ready Tire

The Specialized Pathfinder Pro 2Bliss Ready is a versatile gravel bike tire designed for a mix of asphalt and gravel roads. Let’s dive into the specifics:

1. Tread Pattern:

   • The tire features a remarkable tread pattern:
     • A slick center tread ensures low rolling resistance on smooth surfaces.
     • Small, closely spaced knobs between the center and edge provide traction and stability.
     • Larger and wider spaced knobs along the tire’s edge enhance grip during cornering and off-road maneuvers.

2. Compound:

   • The Pathfinder Pro 2Bliss Ready uses Specialized’s proprietary Gripton compound.
   • Gripton strikes an excellent balance between rolling resistance and traction.
   • While it’s our first test of an off-road tire with this compound, we know it’s fast and reliable.

3. Construction:

   • Tubeless-Ready: The tire is designed for tubeless setups, allowing lower pressures and better performance.
   • 120 TPI Casing: The casing is robust and durable, ready to handle off-road adventures.
   • Reinforced Sidewalls: These enhance sidewall strength for added protection.
   • BlackBelt Anti-Puncture Strip: Positioned under the center of the tread, it minimizes the risk of punctures.
