Product Information

Full details

The Specialized Roadsport is an ideal choice for road cyclists seeking a reliable, versatile tire that balances durability with performance. Featuring the robust Endurant casing and a high-grip rubber compound, it is designed for riders who prioritize flat protection and predictable handling on varied road surfaces. While it excels in longevity and security, users should note that the wire bead construction makes it slightly heavier and less compact than premium folding tires.

FAQs

What is the recommended tire pressure?

The recommended inflation pressure for this tire is 85 - 95 psi.

Does this tire use a folding or wire bead?

This model utilizes a wire bead for a secure and durable fit.

What kind of puncture protection does it offer?

It features bead-to-bead Endurant casing, which provides comprehensive protection against punctures.

Is this tire suitable for racing?

While durable and grippy, its weight and wire bead make it better suited for training and daily road riding rather than lightweight racing.

What does the 60 TPI rating mean?

TPI stands for Threads Per Inch; 60 TPI indicates a casing balance between durability and flexibility.

Can I use this on wet roads?

Yes, the updated 60a compound is designed to provide safe and predictable handling in a variety of conditions, including damp roads.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty seating the tire on the rim

Ensure the bead is centered in the deepest part of the rim channel while working around the circumference.

Frequent flats

Check your tire pressure before every ride to ensure it is within the 85-95 psi range, and inspect the casing for embedded debris.

Pros and Cons

Excellent puncture resistance thanks to Endurant casing
Reliable handling in diverse weather and road conditions

Heavier than folding-bead alternatives

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the Specialized Roadsport, ensure your rim is clean and free of debris. Due to the wire bead, you may need a sturdy tire lever for the final section of the bead. Always verify your rim's internal width to ensure it is compatible with the tire width. Once seated, inflate to the recommended range of 85-95 psi. Periodically check the tread for embedded debris, such as small stones or glass, and remove them promptly to prevent them from working their way through the casing. Store your bike in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature rubber degradation.
