Specialized S-Works Turbo Road Tire

No, the S-Works Turbo is designed specifically for clincher setups using inner tubes. If you are looking for a tubeless-ready option, you would need to look at the S-Works Turbo 2BR model instead.

The tire uses a harder Gripton T2 compound in the center to reduce rolling resistance and increase speed on straightaways, while a softer T5 compound on the shoulders provides extra grip when leaning into corners. This combination gives you the efficiency needed for racing without sacrificing confidence in technical turns.

Not at all. The tire uses a Hybrid-Kevlar Blackbelt layer that is integrated into the casing to provide puncture resistance without compromising the tire's suppleness. You get the necessary protection against flats while maintaining the flexible, high-performance ride quality expected of a race tire.

This is a high-performance race tire optimized for paved roads. While the puncture protection is robust for its weight, it is designed for competitive road cycling rather than rough gravel or debris-heavy surfaces.

This tire features a 120 TPI (threads per inch) casing. A higher TPI count generally indicates a more supple and flexible tire that conforms better to the road surface, which improves both comfort and grip compared to tires with lower thread counts.
