Product Information

Full details

The Specialized S-Works Turbo Cotton Tyre is designed for competitive road cyclists and enthusiasts who demand elite speed and cornering performance. Its primary advantage is an ultra-supple 320 TPI polycotton casing that provides class-leading rolling efficiency, though riders should note that this high-performance construction requires careful maintenance and is more susceptible to wear than heavier, puncture-resistant touring tyres.

FAQs

Is this tyre tubeless compatible?

No, the S-Works Turbo Cotton is designed specifically for use with inner tubes.

How often should I replace these tyres?

Replacement intervals depend on mileage and road conditions, but you should look for signs of squaring off in the center or visible wear on the casing.

Can I use these tyres for gravel riding?

These are high-performance road tyres and are not recommended for gravel or rough terrain due to their lightweight, race-oriented construction.

What is the benefit of the 320 TPI casing?

The high thread count makes the casing more supple, allowing it to deform and adapt to the road surface, which minimizes energy loss as the tyre rolls.

Do I need special tools to install them?

No, standard bicycle tyre levers are sufficient, though care should be taken not to pinch the inner tube during installation.

Troubleshooting

Difficult to mount on rim

Ensure the tyre bead is centered in the deepest part of the rim channel while working around the circumference.

Frequent punctures

Check your tyre pressure before every ride; under-inflated tyres are more prone to pinch flats.

Sidewall discoloration

The natural polycotton sidewalls may darken over time with road grime; clean gently with a soft cloth and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Industry-leading rolling efficiency
Exceptional grip on both dry and damp pavement
Supple road feel provides superior comfort
Lightweight construction for faster acceleration

Cons

Shorter service life compared to standard road tyres
Requires more frequent pressure monitoring
Higher susceptibility to debris compared to reinforced commuter tyres

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your rim bed is clean and use tyre levers cautiously to avoid damaging the delicate sidewalls. The tyre is designed for 700c wheelsets; ensure your internal rim width is compatible with your chosen tyre width for optimal profile shape. Maintenance is key: always check for embedded glass or thorns after every ride to prevent the Blackbelt layer from being compromised. Additionally, store the bike in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as the natural cotton construction can degrade if left exposed to UV rays for extended periods.
