Specialized RapidAir TLR Racing Only Road Tire (Black) (700c) (26mm) (Gripton T2/T5|2-Ply RapidAir)

Specialized RapidAir TLR Racing Only Road Tire Description:

The Specialized RapidAir TLR Racing Only Road Tire combines cutting edge construction techniques and advanced compound/tread profile design to create a very fast and lightweight race ready tire. At the heart of these tires is a unique RapidAir 120TPI turn-up casing that utilizes just two plies that overlap at the sidewall resulting in a supple ride quality, great traction, low rolling resistance, and better handling. In addition, this casing and a high tensile strength folding bead allow these tires to be set up as a tubeless tire that will further enhance the smooth ride and traction. On top of this remarkably compliant and lightweight casing is a dual density Gripton tread compound combined with an aerodynamically optimized tread pattern and smooth sidewall design which provides low rolling resistance and greatly reduced aero drag, as well as offering plenty of cornering grip to inspire confidence when bombing down high speed descents. When it is time to pay off all of the hard work and training miles, these ultra-high performance and lightweight racing tires will provide the aero and performance benefits to ensure a finish at the head of the pack.

Features:

• RapidAir 120TPI casing has two plies that overlap at the sidewalls, stabilizing the sidewalls and leaving a supple center for optimized ride quality and exceptionally low rolling resistance
• Gripton T2 compound used in the center of the tread for maximum straight line velocity and exceptional tread life
• Tackier Gripton T5 compound utilized on the shoulder of tire for unbelievable grip and cornering confidence
