Traction is super reliable in loose-over-hard conditions, and it doesn’t feel sluggish on climbs. Solid all-rounder that I trust for trail and even light XC laps." From fast XC loops to rowdy singletrack, the Ground Control Sport Tire handles it all with confidence. Its versatile tread pattern offers reliable grip across mixed trail surfaces while rolling fast and efficiently on hardpack and smoother lines.

Specialized’s Block-In-Block design uses a tall, flexible central knob to bite into the terrain, supported by outer blocks that add structure and stability. The result is predictable cornering and traction in variable conditions, all wrapped into a durable 60 TPI casing and wire bead for everyday use. Whether you’re upgrading a trail rig or replacing a worn tire on your hardtail, the Ground Control Sport delivers dependable performance without breaking the bank.
