All Condition Armadillo Elite
Road Training / Commuting · GRIPTON® · 120 TPI · Foldable

The All Condition Armadillo Elite is the most flat-resistant tire available — with performance that far exceeds many competitor's race tires. The tread pattern offers excellent all-weather traction, with newly-sourced materials for the best puncture protection possible. GRIPTON® compound provides low rolling resistance and the ultimate in dry and wet condition traction. Without hyperbole, it's the best flat-resistant, high-performance tire Specialized has ever made.

  • GRIPTON® Compound: Low rolling resistance, ultimate dry and wet traction — surpassed by none.
  • Armadillo Elite Flat Protection: Most flat-resistant tire available, newly-sourced puncture-resistant materials.
  • 120 TPI Casing: Dense, supple casing that balances durability with performance.
  • Folding Bead: Lighter than wire bead, easy tubeless mounting.
  • All-Weather Traction: Excellent grip in dry and wet conditions.
  • 5 Sizes: 700 x 23mm through 700 x 32mm — race, training, and endurance setups.

Use: Road training, year-round commuting, performance riding where flats ruin your day. The Armadillo Elite combines GRIPTON's race-proven performance with Armadillo-level flat protection.

GRIPTON — Race-Proven, No Compromises
GRIPTON is Specialized's flagship road compound — used on their fastest racing tires. The difference from standard training compounds is significant: GRIPTON rolls faster, grips harder in corners, and performs in both dry and wet. The Armadillo Elite puts this compound behind Armadillo-level puncture protection — you get race performance without the flat risk that makes races unwinnable.
Armadillo Elite vs Standard Armadillo
The "Armadillo Elite" is the top-tier Armadillo construction — newly-sourced puncture-resistant materials and the "most flat-resistant tire available" in Specialized's lineup. The tradeoff vs pure race tires: 285-430g depending on size (vs 240-280g for race-only tires). But if you've ever DNF'd a ride due to a flat, you know the math changes when reliability matters.
5 Sizes — Pick Your Priority
700x23mm at 285g is the race-day choice. 700x25mm at 315g is the most popular training size. 700x28mm and up are endurance-focused — 32mm at 430g for rough roads, cobblestones, or year-round riding where comfort and flat resistance matter more than speed.
