The fastest, most durable performance tire in Specialized’s road lineup. S-Works Turbo TLR delivers the ultimate combination of race speed and year-round durability 10% improved rolling resistance, 20g lighter than its predecessor, and a puncture resistant strip built into the TLR casing. Where the RapidAir is race-only, the Turbo TLR is built for both training and racing the single tire that handles all-season riding without sacrificing the speed you need on race day.

• GRIPTON T2/T5 Dual Compound: Fast-rolling center T2 compound, grippy T5 shoulders for all-condition confidence.
• 120TPI 3-Ply Casing with Puncture Resistant Strip: Added protection for training durability without excess weight.
• 10% Better Rolling Resistance: Optimized tread compound improves efficiency over predecessor.
• 20g Lighter: Efficient construction saves weight for faster acceleration and climbing.
• Tan Sidewall Available: Classic tan sidewall option on 700x28c and 700x30c.
• Roval Rapide & Alpinist Pairing: Engineered to work as a system with Specialized’s flagship wheels.

Use: Racing and training on a single tire the do-everything high-performance road tire. Unlike the race-only RapidAir, the Turbo TLR’s puncture resistant strip and 3-ply casing make it durable enough for daily training while maintaining top-tier speed. Available in black or tan sidewall.

10% Better Rolling Resistance + 20g Lighter
Specialized’s GRIPTON compound optimization delivers measurable improvements: 10% better rolling resistance versus the previous generation, with 20g of weight saved through more efficient construction. Those gains translate directly to faster acceleration, easier climbing, and maintained speed through long efforts. The combination makes the Turbo TLR the fastest tire in Specialized’s lineup for riders who need both training durability and race-day performance.

GRIPTON T2/T5 All-Condition Speed
T2 is the harder, faster compound in the center of the tread designed to roll efficiently through straights and maintain speed under load. T5 is the softer grip compound on the shoulders the compound that keeps you pinned through corners in wet and dry conditions. Together they deliver both speed and confidence across the full range of road conditions. This is the same dual-compound philosophy used across Specialized’s performance road line, adapted here for maximum durability.

3-Ply Casing + Puncture Resistant Strip
Unlike the pure-race RapidAir, the Turbo TLR uses a 120TPI 3-ply casing with an integrated puncture resistant strip. That construction is the key difference: it adds durability and flat protection without the weight penalty of most puncture-proof tires. The strip deflects debris and objects before they penetrate, while the 3-ply casing provides the structural integrity for year-round training. The Turbo TLR is the choice for riders who want race-level speed with training-level durability one tire for the entire season.
