I switched from the Turbo Pro (no longer available) to the S Works tire, and I am pleasantly surprised with the ride. I did move up to a 30 mm wide tire as it was discounted almost $30 at the time. I might be a bit slower, not sure if 20 grams makes that much a difference. Being over 70 is probably the reason 😎

Great tyres. Not sure how some reviews on this page say these that these tyres don’t have any grip - they’re grippier and faster (with latex tubes) than the schwalbe pro ones on my other set of wheels. The 28mms come up as 28mm on my 19mm internal rims.

Overall very pleased with these tires. Used the 700x28 and got a 1200 miles out of the pair. Had a little life left, but a gash in the front led to a premature end. The gash held up and was discovered once I got home so no fault on the tire. Don't want to curse myself but over the miles I got out of them had minimal flats. Tires are super light, give lots of confidence on cornering and roll very nicely. Durability is low but nature of the game with a tire like this. Mounting on Roval wheels isn't to bad. The problem came when trying to remove the tires to replace. Fought with the buggers for 2 hours using every trick in the book. Could get one bead to break, but the other was the challenge. Running tubes so wasn't dried up sealant. Finally I won but wow! Like these tires enough that I replaced with the same. This time went with 30s (size was on sale compared to the 28s). Mounted easily and running at 80psi (I'm a big guy). Ride is lovely.

Smooth on the road.

This bike checks all the boxes for light-weight performance, design, handling and appearance. The frame and fork yield a ride that is on the rails, jumps when you start to climb and handles like an extension of your body. Shimano Di2 is flawless. With the option of using wider tires up to 32c, this is the perfect performance road bike.

Added 2mph to my usually average speed on my first training ride out with these bad boys (as compared with my previous Vittoria's). Gives the bike a whole new feel and I like that I can run them at lower psi. Would highly recommend

Fast, smooth and grippy tire in the dry but find it to be a little squirly in wet conditions.

Loving this new version of the Sworks turbo tire, tube only version . Lighter and 1000 miles with no flats, using a turbo tube on one bike and a latex on another.

Bought these based on a good review on cycling media. I wanted a puncture resistant but light, grippy Autumn /winter tire. On my first trip out in September,both tires front and rear, punctured. I put this down to Autumn debris in the road. Two weeks later I got a bad puncture in the rear tire and discovered that it had ripped through. I will be returning.

This is the first set of the new turbo T2/T5 that I have used and they are definitely improved over the previous S-Works turbo. Seem to corner better and seem more "grippy", possibly better rolling resistance also? I loved the old Turbo's and these are better. I ran 700x26 on the old and ordered the same size on the T2/T5's and they seem narrower? Could possibly be my perception but will order the 700x28's for the other bike.

The only tyre I use on my bike.

Worst tire ever. Very tight and hard to mount on carbon wheels. Multiple punctures, thorns?!!. Went tubeless and small pinholes wouldn’t seal. I would never buy these again.

Even the punctures I have gotten with this tyre have barely gone through. All the other tyre models I have used always got shredded. While riding this model tyre, I have only ever had slow leak punctures, never any large cuts in the tyre. Well done, and please keep on improving them.

Fast with excellent grip

Measures exact size advertised which was a pleasant surprise.

Amazing handling with very low rolling resistance. I found them to be much faster and better support and handling than the S-Works Turbo. They do seem to run a bit smaller. I normally run 28’s but going to try the 30’s

I have been riding the Cottons but when I went to buy new ones after a puncture the Specialized Concept store in Frejus, France told me that they Cottons were discontinued. I loved the feel of the Cottons on the road but they are a little thin, fragile and puncture prone, especially after a few Kilometers. I bought the T2 T5s and rode them in La Vencoise, a Gran Fondo in Vence France. They felt good but not as comfortable as the Cottons which were exceptional. I think that the T2 T5s are the way to go as they are great quality, comfortable enough and more resistant to punctures.

In short, Tires live up to the expectations, rolling resisstance is minimal and I love that. Ive ridden over some rough roads with unexpected bumps and so far so good. It rained during todays ride, and regarding about them being slippery on wet or dry surfaces, have not had that issue yet, I mean I dont go braking or turning curves carelessly so no problem there atleast for me. Very happy with these i was reluctant due to the price but i gave in, and i must say its a good investment. Ride safe and keep the rubber side down:sign_horns|type_3:

I have the exact same feedback as James ; those tires are ridiculously slippery, it is unmanageable !

Hi, I have never done this before but feel it necessary. I’ve been riding s-works turbos since they first came out. I can’t recall how long, double digits. They’ve always been, coin the term “like Velcro” even in the wet, which I ride, and enjoy. These new s-works turbos are ridiculously slippery, dry and wet conditions. Be aware and careful, modulating in the dry can lead to sliding even. In the wet, I’ve been 2 wheel drifting only to catch a brake bump in the tar that stopped me from crashing. I entered the corner with care to conditions etc. Once also at a set of lights, yes, smooth bitumen and slight rain BUT taking off at the lights, minimal torque the rear tyre spun, haha, no traction at all. Absurd! I can’t recall having ever done that! I had to pull over, there was no visible contaminants on road or tyre. I’ve just come back from a ride, DRY! And slid twice under modulation and correcting around a small ditch. Buyer be aware!

My issue was taken care of immediately! Thank you! So far i really like these new S Works Turbo tires

Thank you thank you Specialized for making an inner tube-only tire. These can be mounted on the rim with your hands no problem, and they inflate nice and round, no lumps and bumps and hassles getting the bead seated properly all the way around the rim. Nice and light, super fast rolling. All around excellent.
