Made Like No Other to Perform Like No Other

Nothing is Faster, Lighter, and Better Handling

For the fastest race tyre on the tarmac, RapidAir TLR delivers. Weighing 220g with the fastest tread we’ve ever tested, the RapidAir TLR is 33 seconds faster than its predecessor while reducing aero drag by 2 watts and rolling resistance by 3 watts, resulting in the fastest tyre we’ve ever made. When sheer speed matters, RapidAir is the perfect choice.

TLR RACING TIRES

Very grippy in the corners, super fast at speed, flat protection on point, very comfortable, looks with the red labels 🔥🚀. Well done with these new versions!! Proven in training and racing.

Excellent Ride, Modest Durability

The RapidAirs ride really well. They’re supple, fast, and have solid cornering grip. On climbs, they feel efficient and responsive under power. The downside is durability. I’ve had three punctures—one that needed a plug and two that sealed on their own—and they require regular sealant top-ups. Overall, they lasted about 1,100 miles (rotated) on hot summer tarmac before the tread wear dimple disappeared, which is shorter than some competing tires in the same category.

Amazing tire! Just won Stage of the TdF on it!

These tires make me sooo fast! You should have seen the face on Jonny M. after getting pipped by literally a tire length! Thanks Specialized!
