Specialized Rhythm Lite

Yes, the Rhythm Lite is designed as a hybrid tire. The fast-rolling center tread keeps you efficient on pavement, while the deeper shoulder knobs provide the necessary grip when you transition onto dirt trails or skate parks.

This tire features Specialized's Flak Jacket protection. It is a durable layer built into the casing designed to help prevent punctures from thorns, glass, and other common road debris.

You should inflate these tires to between 35 and 65 PSI. We recommend starting at the lower end for better grip on loose surfaces and moving toward the higher end if you are riding primarily on smooth pavement.

The Rhythm Lite uses a wire bead. This makes the tire slightly heavier than folding options, but it ensures a very secure and reliable fit on the rim.

The 70a compound is a harder rubber formulation that prioritizes longevity and rolling efficiency. It is durable enough to handle daily street riding without wearing down too quickly.
