Specialized S-Works Turbo tyre

The S-Works Turbo tyre sets the standard for how a performance road tyre should be. It's fast, light, and supple, making it not only the fastest tyre ever made, but also the fastest tyre in the world. It features Gripton compound with extremely low rolling resistance and superior cornering traction that helped win Worlds on a rain-slicked attack. So no matter if you're climbing with the best of them or descending like a rider possessed, this is the tyre for anyone who demands nothing short of the best.

Features

• Compound: Gripton.
• Flat Protection: Black Belt.

Technologies

Black Belt
An extra layer of uniquely-crafted fabric with highly resistant properties sits between the casing and the tyre to reduce the risk of punctures. The technology is higly recommended to be applied on the tyres intended for use in intense conditions with a high puncture risk.

Gripton compound
The Gripton compound uses 'mostly synthetic rubber reinforced with silicon dioxide', which reduces the amount of energy lost through hysteresis. This basically means less deformation, less heat build-up, and a more efficient tyre with improved rolling resistance when compared to natural rubber. The Gripton compound is soft, allowing it to adapt and conform to rough surfaces. It has a durometer of 56 A, making it much softer than other tyres, meaning the tyre not only conforms to the surface it is rolling over, but also filters vibration, which produces a smoother ride.
