Specialized S-works Turbo Rapidair Tubeless Ready Road Tyre 2020

When we began developing the new S-Works Turbo RapidAir tires with Deceuninck–Quick-Step they had some hefty goals for us: Make the all-around fastest lightest and most puncture-resistant tires we’ve ever made. And of course they had to have the ride quality of tubulars. Sure it wasn’t easy but one ride on them and you’ll never want to be on anything else. Just ask our World Tour teams—no more tubulars for them.

The new design came from years of in-house development and testing. It features a flexible center construction that smooths out road imperfections and keeps rolling resistance low while our exclusive GRIPTON® compound leads the industry in both speed and cornering grip. Next up the wide tread design and stable sidewalls deliver precise handling while diving hard into corners. And finally the cross-woven Blackbelt™ breaker is cut-resistant but in the chance you do get a puncture our new sealant plugs holes almost instantly.

But what about set-up? RapidAir tires seat easily on any tubeless-ready rim and they can often be seated with just a floor pump.

The new design came from years of in-house development and testing. It features our new patent pending construction that smooths out road imperfections and keeps rolling resistance low while our exclusive GRIPTON® compound leads the industry in both speed and cornering grip. Next up the wide tread design and stable sidewalls deliver precise handling while diving hard into corners. All this adds up to a tire that rolls faster than a tubular grips better in the wet and dry and has the same supple ride. And finally the cross-woven Blackbelt™ breaker is cut-resistant but in the chance you do get a puncture our new sealant plugs holes almost instantly.

But what about set-up? Follow our simple process and check our compatibility chart to ensure your RapidAir tires install easily on the rim and can be seated with just a floor pump.
