During the Demo Carbon 2015 press launch, Specialized showed us the new 2FO shoes and a new DH tire.
– Slipnot™ rubber compound developed in our tire lab to optimize shoe to pedal connectivity
– Directional sharkskin tread profile grips pedals, with open rear hex pattern for traction
– Injection molded toe kick, anti-tear toe, and high side cuff for lightweight armoring
– Air mesh upper construction adds protection while quickly shedding water weight
– Smooth thermobonded upper for lightweight durability and a snag-free profile
– Cushioned EVA midsole is sealed with a protective skin for support and tear resistance
– Body Geometry equipped to optimize comfort and performance
– Lacelock™ elastic keeps laces in place and clear of snags. Extra set of color laces included
– Relaxed-fit for a balance of pedal feel and off-bike comfort

Again, Curtis Keene has been using this tire during the Whistler EWS:
The Slaughter provides riders with a tire option that rolls fast and still offers confident cornering. A low-profile center tread ensures low-rolling resistance and secure braking, while tall side knobs provide the bite needed for cornering traction.
