Description

Experience the pinnacle of performance with the SPECIALIZED Rapidair Racing Tubeless 700×26 rigid road tyre, the ultimate choice for competitive road cycling where every watt and every second is critical. Engineered for racers who demand nothing less than the fastest equipment, this tyre is a masterclass in speed, efficiency, and control on pavement. When your goal is the top step of the podium, the RapidAir TLR is your decisive advantage.
For the fastest race tire on the tarmac, RapidAir TLR delivers. Weighing an astonishingly light 220g, this tyre leverages cutting-edge design to deliver unprecedented performance gains. In rigorous testing, the RapidAir TLR is a full 33 seconds faster than its predecessor over a 40km course, a monumental leap forward in speed. This remarkable velocity is achieved by systematically tackling the forces that hold you back. The tyre´s advanced aerodynamics reduce drag by 2 watts, while its class-leading construction slashes rolling resistance by 3 watts. The result is not just an improvement, but the fastest tire Specialized has ever made. When sheer speed matters, RapidAir is the perfect choice.
The heart of this tyre´s incredible performance lies in its sophisticated construction and compound technology. The supple 120TPI RapidAir casing provides a smooth, responsive ride that conforms to the road surface, minimizing energy loss and maximizing momentum. This is complemented by the state-of-the-art GRIPTON T2/T5 dual compound. The ultra-fast T2 compound is strategically placed along the center of the tread to ensure minimal rolling resistance for blistering straight-line speed. On the shoulders, the grippier T5 compound provides exceptional traction and unwavering confidence, allowing you to carry more speed through corners and descend with absolute precision. This Tubeless design further enhances performance by allowing for lower tyre pressures, which improves comfort, grip, and puncture resistance without the friction of an inner tube.
Engineered to function as a seamless part of a high-performance ecosystem, this 700c tyre (ETRTO 26-622) is the perfect match for the 28’’ wheel standard. It is specifically recommended for pairing with Roval Rapide and Alpinist wheels, creating a fully integrated system optimized for aerodynamic efficiency and lightweight performance. If you are a dedicated road racer or a performance-focused rider looking to gain a tangible edge over the competition, the Specialized RapidAir TLR tyre is the definitive upgrade for your race machine.
