The S-Works Turbo RapidAir is the tyre of choice for race day enthusiasts seeking the pinnacle of performance. This tubeless wonder stands out as the most efficient, lightest, best handling, and durable option on the market. Building on the legacy of the original RapidAir, which revolutionised the World Tour scene by dethroning tubular tyres with its Tour de France stage wins, Green Jerseys, and Monument victories, Specialized faced the daunting task of enhancing speed and longevity without compromising its renowned attributes.
Unlike traditional tyres with a bulky three-ply casing that increases rolling resistance, the RapidAir features a streamlined two-ply design that not only boosts speed but also enhances grip, offering a more responsive contact patch.
Taking performance to unprecedented levels is the introduction of the all-new Gripton T2 compound, hailed as Specialized's fastest and most efficient creation yet. Paired with the legendary grip of Gripton T5 compound on the shoulders, this dual compound setup ensures a set of 26mm S-Works Turbo RapidAir 2BR tyres shaves off two watts of rolling resistance compared to its predecessors while extending their lifespan by approximately 1000km. Remarkably lightweight at just 230g in 26mm, these tyres redefine the standards of speed and durability.
Embracing the tubeless advantage, the new RapidAir, when paired with RapidAir sealant, delivers unparalleled puncture resistance, eliminating the need for spare tubes. With the integration of hybrid-Kevlar Blackbelt protection under the tread, riders benefit from a 12% increase in puncture protection without compromising on weight or ride comfort.
The S-Works RapidAir further boasts compatibility with both hooked and hookless rims, offering riders the flexibility to customise their setup according to preference. Reinforced with Zylon beads, these tyres exceed hookless burst pressure standards by 200%, ensuring unparalleled safety and peace of mind for riders pushing the limits of performance.
The new RapidAir epitomises a win-win scenario, combining unmatched speed, durability, and versatility to elevate every ride to new heights of exhilaration.
