Specialized Roubaix Armadillo

The Armadillo Elite casing features bead-to-bead puncture protection, which adds a robust layer of defense across the entire tire rather than just under the tread. This makes it significantly more resistant to flats from debris compared to lightweight racing tires.

Yes, the Roubaix Armadillo Elite is designed as an all-season tire. It utilizes a GRIPTON compound and shoulder sipes that provide reliable traction and grip even when road conditions are slick or damp.

The slick center tread is designed to minimize rolling resistance on smooth pavement, helping you maintain speed efficiently. It transitions to siped shoulders, which engage when you corner, giving you the best of both speed and stability.

No, the Roubaix Armadillo Elite is a clincher tire designed for use with inner tubes. It is not compatible with tubeless-ready wheel systems.

The manufacturer recommends a pressure range of 115-125 PSI. We suggest starting at the lower end of that range if you prioritize comfort on rougher roads, or inflating toward the higher end if you are riding on smooth tarmac.

These tires are available in 700x23mm and 700x25mm widths. Before purchasing, verify that your frame and fork have sufficient clearance for these sizes, especially if you are currently running narrower tires.
