The Butcher is synonymous with grip and versatility on all types of terrain thanks to its high studs on the sides and on the tread as well as its round profile. More aggressive than the Purgatory, it benefits from wider side knobs and inwardly placed biting edges that better support the load in tight corners while making the transition to the center knobs easier and smoother as you lean the bike over. It can be mounted both at the front and at the rear and provides grip, comfort and unfailing handling, on all terrains. The GRID TRAIL carcass benefits from puncture and tear protection running right through the tire beads. Indeed, it benefits from the same side reinforcements as the GRID carcass with the addition of protection under the tread for more stability and seating when the tire is fully loaded in bends, providing as a bonus a shield effectively protecting the entire tire. Finally, it uses our T9 rubber compound offering a slower rebound for even more grip. Once you try this new Butcher, you won't want anything else downhill.
