new specialized tubeless tires T2/T5
does anyone have these yet? from the description and weight, they don’t seem to be race day tires, but maybe something more comparable to a GP5000 with decent flat resistance and wear.
only available in 28 and 30mm in tan, 26, 28, 30 in black. 260, 280, 300g.
i like the aesthetic. more restrained than a lot of other branding. https://www.specialized.com/us/en/s-...ext=00022-1152

Not those but I have a pretty fresh pair of S Works Turbo Rapid air tubliss. I think it’s their top end although the listing for the ones you have above seem pretty light, etc.
the ones I have were rated pretty well, I think in the top 13 for rolling resistance, weight, etc. but I frankly wasn’t impressed by the ride. To be fair, nothing bad about the ride either. Cornered well, felt good. I just pulled them off after about 500 miles of use and will be putting them onto the wheels I use on my Vintage De Rosa also set up tubeless as those tires were pretty beaten up, and my LBS got me some of the Conti 5000’s S TR’s at a decent price.
would love to hear how these on out of you get them though. Generally speaking I’m a pretty big fan of Specialized’s contact points like saddles, gloves, and shoes
