Specialized Unveils Tubeless Cotton Tyres After Nine Months of Teasing
Specialized has finally launched a tubeless-compatible version of its iconic Cotton tyre, marking a significant development in the cycling industry. The Cotton TLR tyre, a larger-sized tubeless tyre with a polyester core and cotton wrap, offers a unique blend of comfort and speed, catering to the needs of professional cyclists and enthusiasts alike.
The Cotton TLR tyre is a significant evolution from the original Cotton tyres, which have been a staple in the Specialized family for many years. The original clincher tyre, used by Tony Martin to win the World Time Trial Championship in 2012, has been a testament to the brand's commitment to innovation and performance.
The Cotton TLR tyre is designed to provide the feel of cotton with the speed and precision of modern tubeless technology. The tyre's polyester core and cotton wrap are designed to contain tubeless sealant, ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride. The tyre is available in 38, 30, and 32mm sizes, with weights ranging from 280 to 320 grams.
The Cotton TLR tyre is a testament to Specialized's commitment to innovation and performance. The brand's press material explains that only six pairs of the new tyres originally existed, and Bora Hansgrohe had them and wouldn't give them back. Specialized then made more tyres and went into full production.
