Specialized Hemisphere Armadillo Reflect

Yes, it is specifically designed for that purpose. The Armadillo puncture protection helps prevent flats from road debris like glass or thorns, and the reflective sidewalls add a crucial layer of visibility for riding in traffic.

It handles light gravel and packed dirt well. While the center tread is optimized for smooth rolling on pavement, the wider shoulder blocks provide the extra grip needed for stability on loose or uneven surfaces.

No, these are tube-type tires designed to be used with inner tubes. They feature a wire bead construction, which is not compatible with tubeless rim systems.

You should inflate these tires between 75 and 100 PSI. We recommend starting at the lower end of that range for better comfort on rougher roads and increasing the pressure if you prioritize speed on smooth asphalt.

These are 700c x 38mm tires, which are wider than the typical 25mm or 28mm road tires. Before purchasing, verify that your bike frame and fork have enough clearance to accommodate a 38mm width.
