Specialized has announced a refresh of its S-Works Turbo range of high-end road bike tyres<\/a>, with two new tubeless tyres<\/a> and one clincher.<\/p>\n

The American brand claims the development of two new rubber compounds has enabled significant improvements to rolling resistance, durability, grip and puncture protection across the board.<\/p>\n

The new Specialized S-Works Turbo RapidAir 2BR, for example, is claimed to lower rolling resistance by one watt per tyre, grip better and add around 1,000 kilometres to the lifespan of a set, compared to the previous S-Works Turbo RapidAir<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This tyre has already seen considerable success in the WorldTour<\/a> this season, Specialized says.<\/p>\n

Yves Lampaert used it to win the opening-stage time trial of the 2022 Tour de France<\/a>, while Jai Hindley and Remco Evenepoel both used it on their way to respective overall victories at this year\u2019s Giro d\u2019Italia<\/a> and Vuelta a Espa\u00f1a<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rather than making one tyre to act as a general purpose all-rounder, Specialized says developing multiple, more highly optimised tyres enables riders to choose the best option for their specific needs.<\/p>\n

With this in mind, the new S-Works Turbo tyre range contains three tyres;<\/p>\n
