"Radial tires offer more grip, less rolling resistance, and a more supple ride feel, all while using higher pressures. However, they don't offer quite as much lateral support or 'snap' as traditional MTB tire casings."
"Specialized claims they've found a way to cheat the physics of the see-saw with their new Grid Gravity Radial casing, which balances compliance and stiffness that riders can appreciate."
Specialized Bicycles has introduced the Butcher and Eliminator Radial tires, which provide enhanced grip, reduced rolling resistance, and a supple ride. However, they may lack the lateral support and snap of traditional tires. Radial tires allow for higher pressures while maintaining performance, but they are not universally ideal. Specialized acknowledges that their Grid Gravity option is better for riders seeking maximum lateral support. The balance between compliance and stiffness has been redefined with the new radial design, challenging long-held industry beliefs.
