Specialized launched its brand new Cotton TLR race tyres this week, putting months of speculation to an end regarding what the new tyres might be, after we initially spotted them at the Dauphiné last year. Several teams also used the tyres at Opening Weekend, which created a fresh wave of curiosity and speculation on the new rubber.
In a nutshell, the new tyres bring the brand's cotton tyre performance to a tubeless-friendly version and in new, larger 30 and 32mm sizes.
