SPECIALIZED CANNIBAL GRID GRAVITY T9 TLR DOWNHILL TYRE

World Cup Grip. Maximum Control. Built for Downhill Speed.

The Specialized Cannibal GRID Gravity T9 TLR Downhill Tyre is engineered for riders who demand maximum traction and control on the most demanding downhill tracks. Developed with input from Specialized Gravity team riders including Loïc Bruni and Finn Iles, the Cannibal is designed to deliver the grip, stability, and braking power required for World Cup-level downhill racing.

With a completely redesigned tread pattern, the Cannibal features massive braking blocks, staggered shoulder knobs, and Specialized’s ultra-grippy GRIPTON® T9 compound. The result is a tyre that offers incredible traction, predictable cornering, and the confidence needed to push harder through technical terrain.

Paired with the durable GRID Gravity two-ply casing and Tubeless Ready (TLR) technology, the Cannibal is built to handle high speeds, aggressive riding, and the toughest downhill conditions.

DESCRIPTION

The Specialized Cannibal GRID Gravity T9 is designed specifically for aggressive downhill riding where maximum traction and control are essential. Large centre braking blocks dig into the ground to provide powerful deceleration on steep terrain, while staggered shoulder knobs create strong cornering support when leaning into high-speed turns.

Specialized’s GRIPTON® T9 compound delivers extreme grip while reducing trail chatter, improving stability when riding over roots, rocks, and rough terrain. The GRID Gravity casing provides exceptional durability and sidewall support, ensuring the tyre remains stable when pushed hard into corners or compressed into jumps and landings.

Tubeless Ready construction allows riders to run lower pressures for improved grip and reduced risk of pinch flats.
