Features
Press and Reviews

Fast and burly enough for Sam Hill and the Specialized/Monster Energy Team, The Butcher tyres excel in even the gnarliest terrain with fast rolling, ramped centre knobs and perfectly sized shoulder knobs for bite in the corners.

Casing: 420/D1 for 15% improved cut resistance
Bead: Foldable
Butyl wrapped bead = 2Bliss Ready
Compound: 50a
26" x 2.3; psi 35-65

“Looking for a tyre that won't disappoint when the trail gets technical? With its reasonable weight and price, the Specialized Butcher Control is a worthy candidate ”

Pinkbike

"Cornering performance was admirable - even in loose, flat corners the Butcher dug in and held its own, gripping tenaciously."

"We were able to find traction on slippery roots where other tyres would have spun out."
