SPECIALIZED TIRES

It can be argued that tires may be the most important (and most affordable) upgrades you can put on your bike. This rings true whether you are churning out miles on pavement, grinding gravel backroads, racing your local cyclocross course, or blasting dirt trails on your mountain bike. Getting the most out of your bike by matching quality compounds, impeccable construction, and cutting-edge tire tech is firmly rooted in the ethos of Specialized. Tires were the first product that Specialized offered and continues to be a fundamental focus of research and development for the brand.

INNOVATION BORN ON A RIDE

SHOP ALL SPECIALIZED TIRES

At the core of their tires is a proprietary system of blending rubber compounds to achieve the highest level of speed, grip, and reliability. These proprietary blends differ in composition and layup for each type of riding style and conditions, all carrying the GRIPTON® name. Initially developed under Specialized pro road teams, GRIPTON® is composed of specific blends of synthetic rubber reinforced with activated Silica to produce long lasting tires that are fast and grippy. Each blend is unique for various riding conditions and demands, so you can be confident you’re riding the best tire for your personal riding needs.

WHY GRIPTON® WORKS

The key to GRIPTON® is how the specific compound blend and tire carcass damps a range vibrational frequency in symphony while keeping tire hysteresis numbers low (low means fast). This provides heaps of grip while still letting you make the most of every watt pedaled. Soft and grippy compounds usually wear out fast and slow you down, but the proprietary blends of Silica in Specialized tires keep you efficiently rolling mile after mile without worry.

THE BEST RECIPE NEEDS THE BEST KITCHEN

Specialized wasn’t satisfied with just having a great tire compound recipe. They wanted to be able to control every aspect to ensure quality of production and have the flexibility to make on-the-fly changes, so they can deliver the best tire products. To do this, they established exclusive partnerships with rubber manufacturers and a tire production factory. Being the sole bicycle tire brand coming out of this factory allows them to scrutinize, control, and adapt every step and process in tire production. This attention to detail has allowed Specialized to produce World Championship winning tires that are available to everyday riders and pros alike for every discipline of riding.

SYSTEM APPROACH AND THE POWER OF PARTNERSHIPS

Specialized is more than just a tire or bike company. They are a complete cycling company who produces everything from helmets to tire to frames and accessories. Add in their partnership with the industry leading wheel of Roval Components, and you have a powerhouse of research and development capability. Specialized tires are designed to work seamlessly from your wheels on up. From wind tunnel testing to refined tubeless solutions and much more, this approach results in the best products optimized to perform as a system, so you can get lost in the experience of riding your bike.
