Specialized Pathfinder TLR Fast Gravel Tyre

Specialized Pathfinder TLR Fast Gravel Tyre

Pure Speed. Confident Cornering. Gravel Race Ready.

The Specialized Pathfinder TLR Fast Gravel Tyre is engineered for riders who demand maximum speed on hardpack gravel, smooth dirt roads and tarmac. Combining an ultra-fast centre tread with a dual-compound GRIPTON rubber construction, the Pathfinder TLR delivers exceptional straight-line efficiency while maintaining dependable grip through corners.

Compared with its predecessor, the latest Pathfinder TLR is 19% faster, 25g lighter and 30% more cut-resistant, making it an upgraded choice for competitive gravel racing and fast all-road riding.

Fast-Rolling Tread, Purpose-Built Performance

Optimised Centre Tread

The smooth, fast-rolling centre strip minimises rolling resistance to help you maintain speed on paved roads and hard-packed gravel. Compact tread features provide additional traction when the surface becomes less predictable.

GRIPTON T2/T5 Dual-Compound Technology

Specialized’s dual-compound construction combines the speed of GRIPTON T2 in the centre with the enhanced cornering grip of GRIPTON T5 on the shoulder knobs. The result is an efficient tyre for fast straights, responsive acceleration and more confident cornering.

Durable Tubeless-Ready Casing

The 60 TPI, three-ply TLR casing is designed to balance speed, durability and cut resistance. Its tubeless-ready construction allows riders to run a compatible tubeless setup for improved ride comfort and traction at appropriate tyre pressures.

Built for Fast Gravel

From gravel races and endurance rides to everyday road-to-trail adventures, the Pathfinder TLR excels on hardpack surfaces where low rolling resistance and sustained speed matter most.
