The Eliminator GRID TRAIL 2Bliss Ready T7 tire features a tread that combines an aggressive block design with a well-balanced tread pattern. Its transition knobs help bridge the traditional channel between center and shoulder knobs, making the Eliminator extremely predictable on soft to hardpack trails. It’s perfect for enduro and E-bikes where versatility and confidence are key. Our GRID TRAIL casing is a step up from GRID with more reinforcement, delivering better handling at lower pressures—all while increasing pinch flat protection by 15% and puncture protection by 30%. Building on this solid base, the T7 GRIPTON® compound enhances rolling speed while still providing tons of grip.
  • Casing: 60 TPI, tough trail construction with additional bead to bead protection for exceptional puncture resistance, sidewall stiffness and stability.
  • Bead: Foldable
  • Butyl wrapped bead = 2Bliss Ready
  • Compound: GRIPTON® T7
  • 27.5 x 2.3", psi 25-50, approximate weight 900g

So good…

Got these stock with my Fuse, front and rear. Two seasons in and I’m still on the same pair, figure I’ll get half a season more. My local trails are clay based hardpack with the odd rocky rooty section so not the hardest wearing terrain but the durability is impressive. So is the grip for this terrain. Not the fastest running tire but a decent compromise. Some cross hatching in the rear tire sidewalls but comes with the territory when running tubeless at low pressure. Have another pair I bought on sale waiting in the wings…

Used for Xterra triathlon in Puerto Rico

I decided to use this tire after visiting with my local Specialized dealer who sold me my Epic Evo last June. His advice was spot on and they handled very well in dry conditions with lose rock and very steep punchy climbs. I actually put it on both front and back. I felt in control and very confident with it. I plan to use the same setup in my next triathlon which will have similar terrain.

Very Versatile tire with predictable cornering and low rolling resistance.

I have gone through several of these tires in the last few years. My only complaint is this tire has a relatively short life span. The side knobs will delaminate from the casing after approximately six months regardless of wear forcing you to replace the tire.

Great Rear Tire

This is an amazing rear tire. I run the 2.3 (which measures slightly larger than advertised). It is very fast rolling, has good grip, climbs well, and great braking traction. The puncture protection has been very nice as well. I would certainly buy this tire again.

I use the 29x2.3 as a rear tire and it has fantastic traction and braking. The handling is very consistent. If it breaks loose on a wet root on a corner it immediately hooks up again. The downside is I have had 2 of these tires where the knobs started coming off the casing before I would have replaced the tire due to wear. This has never happened with a Maxxis tire. Frustrated, I put on a Maxxis Aggressor which didn’t have the cornering predictability I wanted and then a DHRii which felt like a boat anchor in the wet. So I went back to the Eliminator Grid trail T7 with the knowledge it will only last half the life of a Maxxis.

I purchased the Eliminator T7 29x2.6 as a rear tire for my heavy duty rim set (WTB KOM Tough i35). The tire casing measures 2.52 on a 35mm ID rim. The Eliminator compare very favorably to the Maxxis Aggressor. Great rear tire for the Arizona kitty litter and rock gardens.

Half price for a set of Specialized tires? Yes please. I got this to replace a Purgatory that came OEM on my 2022 Stumpy Pro. I’ve heard good things about the Eliminator. Normally I’m a Maxxis guy, but I didn’t get Maxxis to replace my old rubber on this bike. That should tell you everything you need to know. Maxxis overcharges, and their quality control is lousy these days.

After 5k miles on an eMTB, I have gone through about 14 tires. I have had the best luck with the Eliminator. The T7 is the way to go, especially on an e bike as they last almost twice as long as the T9. I get about 450 off road miles on the back tire. The comfort, traction and durability are fantastic.

Specialized tires are the right

Specialized tires are the right price. I was able to pick up an Eliminator and Purgatory, both in 2.6 to swap out my DHF/Dissector combo. The Eliminator/Purgatory is so much faster. The Eliminator feels a little less washy initially carving out front and rolls much faster than the DHF. The Purgatory is pretty quick and is decent enough grip comparable to a Recon a briefly rotated in but didn’t last very long. I might consider swapping the Purgatory out for another Eliminator out back when it goes. My '21 Fuse Comp is setup more for XC/Trail oriented riding, so these faster tires make pedaling in the flats and hills a bit more enjoyable, but I did sacrifice a little grip on looser, washed out gravel and roots compared to my prior DHF/Dissector combo so there’s that… but at the right price, I’m good w/ this setup as it seems to be performing well for my purposes.

Awesome grip and ride characteristics

Grip on rocks and in the loose dirt was impressive...but they didn't hold up well. They came on my stumpy evo and I was impressed they held up without getting punctures etc. at my local trails. The side knobs on both sides gave out and I could see the casing of the tire. If you don't ride sharp jagged rocky areas I would run them again.

Best all around tire

I am running this tire front and rear on my Scott Ransom 920 in a 29x2.6. This is to me the best all-mountain/enduro tires I've used. The tread is predictable when leaning into corners and the has fairly low rolling resistances. Some people complain about the weight of the tire, but seriously it's 29 x2.6 tire. I personally don't mind the weight and can't say I feel it when riding. I didn't but a Enduro bike with the idea that I should worry about tire weight. They are lighter then what came on my stock.

Great tire

It comes stock on the rear of the current Stumpjumpers in 2.3 and I decided to try running a 2.6 on the front as well (instead of the butcher). Tread offers smoother transitions to side knobs while turning than the butcher for the typical loose over hard conditions in the Bay Area. It's probably good in loamy conditions as well but have not ridden them in that terrain. These tires have also held up nice to rocky beatings on Santa Teresa Park here in San Jose.
