The Specialized RapidAir TLR Race Tire is the fastest and lightest World Tour tire, engineered for elite performance and race-day dominance. Featuring an all-new tread and modified construction, it delivers exceptional speed, grip, and durability while weighing 25g less than its predecessor. The 28c version comes in at just 230g, ensuring enhanced acceleration and responsiveness. Designed for ultimate efficiency, the RapidAir TLR boasts 20% lower rolling resistance and reduces aerodynamic drag by 2 watts at 45km/h, making it the ideal choice for high-speed racing. Its aero-optimized tread pattern incorporates Specialized’s advanced GRIPTON compounds—T2 in the center for maximum straight-line speed and T5 on the shoulders for unmatched cornering grip. This combination ensures top-tier handling, stability, and confidence in all road conditions.

Revolutionizing tubeless road tires, the RapidAir TLR features an innovative two-ply turn-up casing instead of a traditional three-ply design. By overlapping at the sidewall instead of the tread, this construction reduces weight, improves suppleness, and enhances traction, resulting in a smoother, faster ride. The tire’s high-tensile beads ensure tubeless safety and compatibility with hookless rims, providing superior air retention at minimal weight. Available in 700x26 (220g) and 700x28 (230g), the RapidAir TLR is the pinnacle of tubeless road racing technology, redefining what it means to be fast, light, and high-performing on race day.
