Great tyre at a good price. Very quick delivery well packaged.

Price was excellent on close out. For my wife’s bike. I’ve been rolling these tires on my Levo SL and loving them. We ride the rocky desert and the have great traction, corner well, and are super tough in the desert terrain.

This tire replaced a worn out Maxxis Rekon and has performed beautifully. After riding 500km of hardpack singletrack, I'm thoroughly convinced I made the right choice. It performs well in firm to semi loose conditions and holds up fairly well when wet. Climbing performance is surprisingly reliable. I've pushed this tire pretty hard and it has really proven to be a great rear tire. It's safe to say I won't be looking to change tires as the Purgatory's performance and value are unbeatable.

Legendary heavy duty trail tire. Latest incarnation gives better grip and durability. Great balance between burly and fast.

Great tire grippy fast rolling I’m running 2.6 on 29er with Ibis i35 rims

The tyre rolls fast and has lots of grip in hardpack to loose. It gives lots of confidence in corners and has high durability.

It has plenty of grip and rolls fast. It's very durable and gives alot of confidence in corners.

I don't ride aggressive enough to lose traction, like the butcher tire the grip on these tires are good, on muddy sections of a trail they dig in to get you through and when I have to stand to lay down power they hold ground even on loose dirt, tire selection has you covered

The tire has tons of traction as a front tire. Not once did the front slide on me!! I was amazed how well the tire rolled for having lots of knobs. The sidewalls are though as nails and still nice and compliant. I am 200 lbs and run 22psi and not once did the sidewall fold on me. If you’re looking for a great front trail tire with minimal rolling resistance and lots of traction, I would highly recommend this tire.

The Purgatory GRID T7, 29x2.6, is a fantastic front tire that steers and holds better than other tires I've used (Specialized Butcher & Maxxis Forekaster). Precise steering inspires confidence; speed through corners and accelerates out quickly.. It eats singletrack for breakfast! Rolling resistance also seems low, easily maintains speed and rolls over rough terrain. *Used primarily in Southern California.

Grid T7 Purgatory, Rolls well, wears hard, tight tubeless interface, easy to seat with typical floor pump Sidewall just too flimsy. Won't resist aggressive cornering unsurprisingly. If it had just a hair more sidewall support it could be an amazing tire. It's just so burpy (I even tried Cushcore f + r). That being said, I've burped this tire flat more than once, and didn't even put a witness mark into the bead. I am hesitant to ride this anywhere but the tamest flattest trails. But that's what it's designed to do

Perfect products and shipping

Can’t beat the performance and value of Specialized tires! This is my go to rear tire!

I’ve had two of these tyres in 29x2.3. Claimed weight way off. True weight of mine were 925g and 945g.

Great tire!

This is my second set of these tires. I love them. They have great traction and last well.

Maybe you will have better LUCK getting this tire to POP on the rim, even after putting in the sealant it would not seat properly.

Great tyre. Works well for me.

So far so good, still getting use to the tyre

great tire for all around traction and rolling resistance

Excellent grip and fast.

The Purgatory is a great rear tire, but needs to be offered in a 2.5 version to compliment the 2.6 Butcher with which it is often paired. A 29 x 2.6 is a lot of tire to have to pedal in the rear. Other than that, it performs quite well. Uphill sections with wet roots will give it some problems, but it hooks up fine everywhere else. When running 2.6s front and rear, it gives the bike a bit of a floaty feeling which is fun in the fact that you can roll over a lot of obstacles and they won't phase the tires. Just don't expect to be the first to the top of the hill. The 2.6s certainly are not xc tires. So yeah, I'd recommend it if you want a fun ride. If you need to ride fast, you may want to look at the 2.3.

Perfect in the back

My teens and I ride aggressive trail/Enduro bikes as our all around bikes here in Alaska/western Canada. We ride everything: tech DH/bike parks (Whistler//Alyeska), DH flow, XC, and long back country multi day bike tours, even caribou hunt off the bikes. Previously we were all riding Maxxus. My teen daughter switched to the Butcher (T9 trail) and purgatory rear (t7 grid) 2 summers ago, I switched last summer and just got a set for my son. Far superior tire to the aggressor in terms of roll and grip and predictability. For rear my daughter and I switched from an aggressor to a purgatory and my son switched from a DHR to an eliminator. Thank you Specialized for making some great tires

Great rear tire; will buy this again!

Heavier than claimed is my only gripe. 897grams vs 810grams. I would have purchased a wider tire for the same weight.

Very grippy on a mixed variety of terrain.

Best for shattered gravel trail descents

So far so good. Using as a rear with T7 eliminator front. Grip has been solid, and they seem to roll pretty quick, even on pavement. Coming from a Rekon rear, the speed/weight is not too far off, but seems to have better grip in fall leaf weather.

The cornering knobs just don't bite as well as they do with the Butcher.

Good tire great price.

Good grip on most surfaces. A bit tight on the rim which I like. Thick sidewall so not light, but shouldn't wear out from rocks as easily as some. At 1/2 price worth stocking up on.

Great balance of speed and grip..

Great tire

Fast rolling with great grip on my local dusty hardpack trails.

This tire sheds!

The sale price for my 2 tires was incredible and they arrived ahead of schedule.

Great tire for riding in most conditions.

A fast rolling rear wheel with okay grip. I'd say it's on par w/ a Rekon in the EXO casing. My Purgatory prior actually lasted longer than the competitor. I wish it came in 2.6 w/ a tougher casing like the Trail casing so it has a bit better puncture resistance, but at the right price, these Purgs are a good value and I like how snappy and quick my bike is on flowtrack in the flats and over rolling hills where the terrain isn't as treacherous. In the really techy stuff, they do suffer a little bit, especially on a hardtail bike, but they are manageable.

For my 2014 Stumpjumper I put the 2022 SJ tires on. Purgatory & Butcher. These tires mounted tubeless without removing valve cores. They held air without sealant and look really gnarly.

These tires are amazing and I highly recommend them!

Great tires for good price at Specialized.com

Just had this tire installed on the rear. Norco Storm 7.2. 27". Man. What grip. I have a Purgatory up front..slightly smaller size. These tires provide an amazing ride . I'm serious.. Rubber makes the ride 👍👍😜😜😜

Nice roll, nice grab, nice tire, nice price.

Great on trails: singletrack mostly. Work great on my hardtail. FYI I got them 2.3 on 20mm rims to go tubeless, and so far no issues.

Purgatory tires are great.

Plenty of traction on loose gravel/rocks on uphill climbs yet fast/smooth on downhill runs or flat surfaces. Max inflation is 40lbs but for trails use 25-30lb max for best traction. I recommend the 29 x 2.6 for your ride!

Excellent value on one of the best tires available!

I've never had better tires than the Specialized Purgatory/Butcher combo. Traction is incredible and they last a very long time.

I have run this tire in the cross country flats of TX, the flow of Bentonville, and the uphill and downhill of CO, and I am impressed! I was so impressed that I am replacing it with the same tire!

These tires were original equipment on my bike. They perform great so I just bought more.

I think this is the best trail /AM tyre ever made. Great grip and fast rolling. Mostly been riding heavier soft tyres like Maxxis Minions. Butcher. Magic Mary. I would say that the Purgatory performes just as well when it comes to grip ( except for some terrain like rock/ root off camber) and they are much better on the up's and the flat. In short. I will buy them again.

Just put this on my 29"" stump jumper. Man I should have put them in years ago. Wild the increase in traction these deliver. Good buy!

Installed on the rear wheel of my 2012 specialized stumpjumper 29er hardtail. Tire grabs around turns and climbs without leaving digs. $ well spent!! An amazing upgrade from my previous (good) rear tire.

This tire rolls nicely and still gives all grip I need for mixed trail riding, it even works on winter snow.

I've had the previous and this newer version. Both I liked by the new one seems better at lower rolling resistance and bites well. Definitely will keep this as a rear on many conditions.

Been riding for a few months, bites hard in corners and it has not let me down whether soft or hard pack.
