Specialized S-Works Turbo RapidAir 2Bliss Ready Tubeless Tire

The all-new S-Works Turbo RapidAir is the ultimate race-day tire¡Xcombining the fastest, lightest, best-handling, and most durable tubeless performance we've ever created. The original RapidAir revolutionised World Tour racing by ending the reliance on tubular tires, with stage wins at the Tour de France, Green Jerseys, and Monument victories. Now, we've taken that foundation to the next level, enhancing speed and durability for an even better ride.

We started with the exceptional performance of the RapidAir¡¦s unique construction. Instead of a traditional three-ply casing that adds unnecessary weight and rolling resistance, the RapidAir features a two-ply design with overlapping sidewalls. This design not only reduces rolling resistance but also improves grip and creates a more supple contact patch for superior handling.

To boost performance further, we've introduced the new Gripton T2 compound¡Xthe fastest, most efficient rubber we've ever developed. Paired with the legendary Gripton T5 compound on the shoulders, this dual-compound setup offers faster rolling, better grip, and increased longevity. A set of 26mm S-Works Turbo RapidAir 2BR tires now saves two watts of rolling resistance compared to the previous version and adds approximately 1000 kilometres of life to the tire. Oh, and they're lighter too¡Xjust 230 grams for the 26mm size.

As a tubeless tire, the RapidAir offers the convenience of "leave the spare tube at home" performance when paired with RapidAir sealant. But the protection doesn't stop there. With new hybrid-Kevlar Blackbelt protection under the tread, you get 12% more puncture protection, all while maintaining a lighter weight and a more supple, responsive ride.

The new S-Works Turbo RapidAir is compatible with both hooked and hookless rims, giving you the flexibility to choose your preferred wheels and pressures. And with Zylon-reinforced beads that exceed hookless burst pressure standards by 200%, you can ride with ultimate peace of mind.
