Specialized Tires|Cotton Folding Racing Only Road Tire (Tan Wall) (Tube Type) (700c) (28mm) (Gripton T2/T5)

Specialized Cotton Folding Racing Only Road Tire Description:

The Specialized Cotton Folding Racing Only Road Tire is a lightweight tire that blends a traditional poly-cotton tire casing construction with an advanced tread compound to create a very comfortable, durable, and lightweight racing tire. A 320TPI poly-cotton casing construction pays homage to classic racing tubulars by offering a buttery smooth ride quality, but thanks to the clincher bead it will be much easier to fix untimely flats as well as making the mounting and maintenance of these tires much more user friendly. On top of this traditionally constructed casing is a dual density Gripton tread compound with a low profile tread pattern that provides low rolling resistance, outstanding tread life, and plenty of cornering grip to bomb down high speed descents. The result of this marriage of traditional construction and state of the art materials is an incredibly smooth riding, high performing, and lightweight modern racing tire that will have you setting new personal best lap/race times.

Notes: This tire requires the use of a tube, and cannot be set up as a tubeless tire.

Features:

• Poly-cotton 320TPI results in a ride rivaling a tubular tire for smoothness, but much easier to maintain and fix flats
• Gripton T2 compound used in the center of the tread for maximum straight line velocity and exceptional tread life
• Tackier Gripton T5 compound utilized on the shoulder knobs for better cornering grip
• Solid center tread provides minimal rolling resistance and is very quiet, while very subtle tread pattern on the shoulders provides extra grip for cornering
