Specialized Fast Trak and Renegade tire review

[@digerati808]

Thanks for breaking out the calipers and getting the actual width on your specific rim. It's an important dimension and not enough people do it 👍

[@IIISentorIII]

Im running the Ground Control T7 front and Fast Trak T5 rear on my Stumpjumper and really like it. I think the Renegate is basicly a "Gravel Bike" Tyre 😄

[@ShredHeadSports]

Agreed about the Renegade. I only use it for XC races.

[@joseborquez-tn2lw]

Solo normalmente he visto las llantas speciized en las bici specialized porque no tengo idea lo más común ver llantas de otras marcas como Maxxis, Pirelli,continental,y etc.

[@ShredHeadSports]

@@joseborquez-tn2lw specialized makes excellent tires that are sold in the US and beyond. I have Maxxis, Versus, etc tires on other bikes and find Specialized has very reliable tires as well

[@NeRR2]

Thanks for this info! Are Renegades faster / better rolling on tarmac than FastTracks?

[@ShredHeadSports]

@@NeRR2 yes. I’d say they are

[@NeRR2]

@@ShredHeadSports Tempted to go from the stock Fastracks 2.35 to Renegades in 2.2. A reasonable weight reduction esp if going tubeless!

[@ShredHeadSports]

@@NeRR2 I had the 29x2.2 renegade on before. It’s super light at sub 600g

Thoughts on a fast trak rear, ground control front setup? The Butcher and purgatory setup on my stumpjumper is a little too aggressive tire setup for what i do. Great vid!

[@ShredHeadSports]

Butcher/Purgatory is a solid setup with a lot of confidence in cornering. Ground Control/Fast Trak would be a good light trail combo. You’re giving up a lot of side knob support but gaining rolling resistance. I’d do it if you’re looking for a slight step to a more nimble setup

[@hro52518]

@@ShredHeadSports Thanks that exactly what I'm looking for

[@kobra45ACP]

@@hro52518 Slaughter is also a great back tire for the Stumpjumper.

[@kobra45ACP]

Specialized Slaughter is an excellent rear tire for the Stumpjumper.

[@Drogos79]

sure not rolling on cornering knobs on that fast trak with 35mm internal rims?

[@ShredHeadSports]

They’re more square for sure, which also adds more stability

[@augustosagrado6546]

Hey, man. Question: in the video 3:52 the renegade looks like more wider than fast track. It is really or is just impression? Thanks

[@ShredHeadSports]

The renegade measured slightly more narrow. It’s side knobs are almost non-existent 😬

[@manabiker]

Once you wear the new tires in things get much better, the small tits on the new tires (made in Viet Nam at a new plant) give lower lap times, then once the tits are gone, better everything, the Renegade does good, but it don't last as long as the Fast Trak,, I like the S-Works Fast Trak dual compound T5/T7 versions, much lighter at just over 600 grams, but they have thinner sidewalls.

[@ShredHeadSports]

After riding the T7 fast Trak for a while, it has great grip but seems slightly slower than other T5 compounds I’ve tried. Agreed the T5/T7 s-works is nice mix
