Tire Specialized Cotton TLR – Race speed, absolute smoothness
The Specialized Cotton TLR Tire represents the evolution of the legendary Cotton tires, now available with Tubeless Ready (TLR) technology to deliver even higher road performance. Developed to track standards and refined for road use, this tire is designed for cyclists seeking maximum smoothness, reliable grip, and superior comfort, with no compromises in racing.
Tested at the highest levels – including by champions like Remco Evenepoel – the Cotton TLR is made for those who want to turn every watt into real speed. Its unique construction with a vulcanized polyester Corespun casing coated with cotton fibers ensures an extremely smooth and stable ride, enhancing the road feel and increasing pedaling efficiency.
The Tubeless Ready structure allows for lower pressures to boost comfort, control, and grip, while maintaining high puncture resistance. The result is a tire designed for road racing and high-intensity training, capable of providing a slight but decisive advantage in every corner.
