Specialized Fast Trak Armadillo

This tire is designed as a versatile all-rounder. The ramped center knobs help it maintain speed on hardpack and mixed trails, while the overall tread pattern provides enough grip for varied terrain, making it a solid choice for long-distance riding where conditions might change.

The Armadillo casing is built for durability and puncture resistance, which makes the tire feel slightly stiffer and heavier than a lightweight racing tire. You gain significant peace of mind against flats, but you may notice a slightly less supple ride quality on technical, rocky sections.

No, this specific model is designed as a tube-type tire with a wire bead. It is intended to be used with an inner tube.

The 60 TPI (threads per inch) casing strikes a balance between durability and weight. It is robust enough to withstand the rigors of daily riding and rougher surfaces without being overly heavy, complementing the puncture-resistant Armadillo layer.

These tires are sized at 29 x 2.0 inches. Before purchasing, ensure your bike frame and fork have adequate clearance for a 2.0-inch width and that your wheels are 29-inch diameter.
