Like 29ers Before, Specialized Has Started Going 650B/27.5

Last Month, Specialized added four new 650B (27.5) tires to its website in a size that the company has not supported — until now!

Specialized has released the following: standard Ground Control (27.5x2.1in), S-Works Fast Trak (XC oriented, 27.5x2.0in), Purgatory Grid 2Bliss Ready (27.5x2.3in); and the Butcher Control (27.5x2.3in).

According to Bikeradar, "The types of tires may or may not be an indicator of the 27.5 bikes we can expect Specialized to release at its 2015 product launch later this year.

Sean Estes, Specialized global PR manager said, "It's a little known fact that we got our start making tires — before we made bikes even — and to this day tires are still a key category for us. Tires provide the final connection between the rider and the ground which is why tire choice is such a critical element of performance and an area we put a lot of effort into. Even though we don't currently offer 650B bikes w still want to make sure riders have the option of choosing their favorite Specialized tire models for all popular wheel sizes."
