When Specialized began developing the S-Works Turbo RapidAir tires together with Deceuninck–Quick-Step they set themselves ambitious goals: to make an all-round tire that was the lightest, fastest and most resistant to punctures. Obviously, they had to have the ride quality of tubulars. It wasn't easy, but now, if you try these tires you won't need tubulars anymore. The new design is the result of years of development in laboratories and numerous tests. The construction features a flexible central part to 'smooth out' road imperfections and which has low rolling resistance. The GRIPTON® compound is fast and provides cornering traction. The wide tread and stable sidewalls promote driving precision and allow you to attack curves at speed. Finally, the Blackbelt™ puncture protection is resistant to cuts and, in the event of a puncture, the new sealant closes the puncture almost instantly. RapidAir tires mount on tubeless-ready rims and can typically be inflated with a simple pump.
