Specialized

Nimbus 2 Tire

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"If I’m setting up a city or hybrid bike, this is my go-to tire. It’s quick on pavement, doesn’t beat you up over cracks, and the Flak Jacket really helps cut down on annoying mid-ride flats. It’s a lot of tire for the price."

The Nimbus 2 Tire is Specialized’s answer to the urban slick—updated with a faster tread pattern, improved grip, and internal flat protection for daily use. Its 60a compound wears evenly across seasons of pavement miles, and the wire bead design offers consistent reliability in a value-focused build.

A bead-to-bead Flak Jacket layer helps deflect thorns, debris, and glass, while the casing maintains enough flexibility to soak up chatter from rough pavement or curb hits. Available in several widths to suit different frame clearances, it’s a staple upgrade for city bikes, hybrids, or commuters looking for speed without giving up comfort.
