Specialized S-Works Turbo Rapidair 2Br

The all-new S-Works Turbo RapidAir is our ultimate race-day tire. The most efficient, lightest, best-handling, and most durable tubeless tire we've ever made. The original RapidAir is the tire that broke the World Tour's reliance on tubulars, racking up Tour de France stage wins, green jerseys, and Monument victories. Extracting even more speed and longer life from our fastest race-day tubeless tire was no easy feat.

We knew we had an incredibly fast foundation – the unique construction of the RapidAir. Instead of a traditional three-ply casing, where the material piles up under the tread, increasing rolling resistance, the RapidAir casing consists of just two plies that overlap at the sidewall, resulting not only in faster rolling but also better grip, with a smoother contact patch.

Note: 28 x 1.10 inches corresponds to the ETRTO size 700-28 – both specifications describe the same tire size in different measurement systems.

This already impressive performance is further enhanced by our brand-new Gripton T2 compound – the fastest and most efficient compound we've ever developed. We've combined this compound with the legendary grip of our Gripton T5 compound on the shoulders. With this dual compound, a set of 26mm S-Works Turbo RapidAir 2BR tires saves two watts of rolling resistance compared to the previous tire and increases set life by approximately 1,000 kilometers. Oh, did we mention they're lighter? Just 230 grams in 26mm.

As a tubeless tire, the new RapidAir, in combination with RapidAir sealant, offers performance that allows you to leave your spare tube at home, but the protection doesn't stop there. With the new hybrid Kevlar Blackbelt protection under the tread, you get 12% more puncture protection with less weight and more flexibility for a smoother ride.

The new S-Works Rapid Air is compatible with both hooked and hookless rims, giving you the flexibility to run your preferred wheels and tire pressures. Our new Zylon-reinforced beads exceed standard burst pressures for hookless rims by 200%, providing ultimate peace of mind. With the new Rapid Air, you can't go wrong.
