Specialized S-Works Turbo T2/T5 Tire
The S-Works Turbo tire sets the standard for a fast and durable performance tube type race tire. Our all new Gripton T2 center compound is the fastest, most efficient compound we have ever developed. T2 is placed in the center of our dual compound for speed and longevity on the straights with T5 compound on the shoulders for incredible grip through the corners.
We’ve improved the tire’s puncture protection by 8% with all new hybrid-Kevlar Blackbelt breaker under the tread. Combined with our light and supple casing you’ve not only got improved puncture protection but lighter weight and more flexibility for an incredibly supple and confidence inspiring ride. It all adds up to a S-Works Turbo tube type tire that 4 watts faster per set than the previous S-Works Turbo and that weighs just 200 grams for a 24mm. This is S-Works level speed with a tube.

Impossible to get on rim
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- 700x28
I normally love the S-Works tires but not so much for the turbo edition. The grip and ride is excellent on the tire. However, when I flatted recently it took myself and a kind (and strong) cyclist who happened to stop and help, 45 minutes to get the turbo onto the rim. The fit is extraordinarily tight and almost impossible to get onto my Royal rims...thus the poor rating. Buy the standard (non-Turbo) version of the tire.
