Use: Mixed terrain gravel hardpack racing, loose gravel exploring, singletrack adventures. The Tracer is the do-everything gravel tire: fast enough for race day, tough enough for off-road exploration. The 40c size is notably light at 460g competitive with dedicated race tires while offering more mixed-terrain capability.

T5 Compound Traction for Mixed TerrainGRIPTON T5 is Specialized’s grip-optimized compound for the shoulder knobs: soft enough to dig into loose gravel and firm enough to maintain structure on hardpack. The Tracer’s wide-set T5 knobs on the shoulders bite into mixed terrain while the compact center knob cluster maintains efficient rolling on hardpack surfaces. T5 isn’t the softest compound Specialized makes it’s tuned for the mixed-terrain reality where you need grip without sacrificing too much rolling resistance. 2 watts faster per tire than the previous generation.Tracer + Terra Engineered TogetherThe Tracer and Roval Terra wheels are co-developed: they work as a system, not just alongside each other. The Terra TLR requires 6% more force to pinch flat than the previous generation meaningful improvement in the real-world conditions where gravel tires get hammered. Pairing Tracer with Terra wheels gets you the best combination of speed, strength, and ride quality in Specialized’s gravel lineup.3-Ply TLR Casing Strong Without Excess WeightThe 60TPI 3-ply TLR casing is built for gravel durability without the weight penalty of mountain bike casings. Three plies of protection handle the sharp rocks and debris that gravel riding throws at you, while the tubeless setup lets you run lower pressures for better traction without worrying about pinch flats. One reviewer put 1,000 miles on a set with no flats others note the tires run slightly undersize on narrow rims but stretch to true after break-in.GeneralModelTracer TLR All Terrain GravelPositionFront & RearUseMixed terrain gravel hardpack, loose gravel, singletrackTerrainMixed terrain all conditionsTypeTubeless-ready (Clincher)Wheel PairingRoval TerraTread & CompoundCompoundGRIPTON T5 traction and stability in mixed terrainTread DesignCompact center knob cluster (fast rolling) + wide-set aggressive T5 shoulder knobs (grip)Casing60TPI 3-ply TLR casing strong, fast-rolling, tubelessFlat Protection3-ply TLR casing 6% more pinch-flat resistance than previous genWeights700 x 40c460g700 x 45c530g700 x 50c550gfunction showPanel(id, btn) { document.querySelectorAll(‘.spur-panel’).forEach(p => p.classList.remove(‘active’)); document.querySelectorAll(‘.spur-tab’).forEach(t => t.classList.remove(‘active’)); document.getElementById(‘panel-‘ + id).classList.add(‘active’); btn.classList.add(‘active’);}
