Armadillo Elite
Specializeds strongest all-round puncture protection for countless miles in year-round use. At the same time, the superior puncture protection costs no extra weight. The tire sidewalls are protected by a Kevlar protective layer from bead core to bead core. Another nylon protective belt under the tread increases the resistance of the tire where it meets the ground.

GRIPTON compound
The performance of a tire depends largely on the rubber compound used. The development of the GRIPTON rubber compound is based on a completely proprietary formula under Specialized's full control. This new rubber compound features very low rolling resistance with excellent grip and controllability in all situations, be it unmediated steering maneuvers, high speeds, or severe lean angles when sprinting or cornering; in addition, GRIPTON offers high reliability in all-around use and in adverse road and weather conditions.
