Product Description

CX/Gravel Series is developed for performance and puncture protection in demanding terrain. TPU technology, perfectly designed for off-road use: lightweight, puncture-proof, low rolling resistance and the smallest pack size. Aeron/TPU offers high-performance tubes for gravel and cyclocross racers as well as variants with maximum puncture protection for bikepackers and ultra-riders. Made in Austria by European TPU-Specialists.Cross or gravel bike riders are usually sporty when travelling off-road. But sporty is not always sporty. Gravel racers need a very light tube that rolls very well and still has good puncture protection, such as the Aeron/TPU ExtraLite Protect. Bikepackers should trust the UltraProtect with the best possible puncture protection on their adventures. And for all cross riders who are allowed to change their bike lap by lap, the SuperLite Race is the fastest possible choice.Why TPU inner tubes for Gravel Bikes:- TPU inner tubes are suitable for all cyclists and can be used in MTB bikes, road bikes, everyday bikes, gravel bikes and even e-bikes. The type of use is also variable. Whether racing on gravel, touring or everyday use on the road - TPU tubes have many advantages everywhere and in combination with all possible tyres and rim widths (TPU tubes are of course also available with Sclaverand valves (sv or car valves). For gravel bikes, riders can now explicitly decide whether they want a lightweight, good rolling, extremely puncture-resistant tube or one that combines many of these properties, an all-round talent, so to speak.Does a TPU tube really make sense for a Gravel Bike:- Gravel biking is, and gravel bikes are, extremely diverse. There are bikes that are designed for gravel racing. There are also gravel bikes that are ridden almost exclusively on the road, almost like a racing bike, and there are gravel bikes that are almost like an MTB and with which their riders want to go on long adventures. There are many different gradations in between. This is precisely why it makes sense to use a bicycle inner tube or bicycle inner tubes with different properties. While competitive riders in short races on good gravel surfaces tend to pay more attention to weight and opt for a lightweight TPU inner tube, riders on an adventure trophy covering thousands of kilometres tend to rely on almost puncture-proof inner tubes, i.e. very high puncture protection. TPU inner tubes also have enormous advantages over butyl rubber inner tubes as spare tyres, as they are much lighter and have a smaller pack size. So TPU inner tubes and gravel tyres make perfect sense.Tubeless or TPU inner tubes for Gravel bikes:- In terms of rolling resistance, a tubeless system is a tiny bit ahead of the TPU system. In races this may be an argument in favour of tubeless, but for adventure and training rides it is probably negligible.Which hose is the right one for which application:- As already mentioned, an Aeron/TPU inner tube can really be customised. With this in mind, Aeron-TPU offers tyres for MTB, gravel, road, city and touring. These are not only available in different widths and wheel sizes, they also come in different categories, from super light models optimised for rolling resistance to very robust tubes that can take on anything, even off-road. Of course, there are also different valves with different valve lengths.SuperLite Race:- Super-light and puncture-proof –for racing and performance use.

Imparting suppleness when comfort is needed. Lightweight when a mountain climb is approaching, or when wheels need to spin quickly to the finish line. Impenetrably strong when endurance is the task or when the road or trail turns rough. And sustainable to be remade again and again.What is Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU):- The well-known hoses are being replaced by TPU hoses. This is because TPU - thermoplastic polyurethane - has many advantages over the black rubber hose. But what is TPU anyway? Thermoplastics are plastics that deform when heated and solidify when they cool down. TPU has long been used in manufacturing for the automotive, transport, aerospace, sports equipment and medical device industries. TPU combines the high durability of plastic parts with the elasticity of rubber, making it the ideal material for applications that require repeated bending or compression of parts. Due to its elasticity, TPU is often used as an impact modifier in products such as helmets, protective packaging, vibration damping products or seals. TPU also has excellent abrasion resistance and is therefore used in applications with high friction (e.g. interior components of vehicles) or for electrical cables and insulation.Aeron/TPU Core TechnologiesMulti Layer:- Aeron/TPU manufacturing technology allows multilayer construction within an Airtube.Anti-slip coating:- The specially designed Aeron/TPU valve stems guarantee optimum pump head interface and retention.Heavy Duty Bond:- Aeron/TPU valve cores are permanently bonded to ensure reliable and long-lasting performance.Micro Welding System:- Aeron/TPU valve bases are mechanically heat bonded to endure demanding leak testing.Smart Quality Control:- Every Aeron/TPU Airtube is subjected to strict quality controls.Aluminum Valve Stem:- High-end aluminum valve stem. Perfect combination of lightweight construction, durability and flawless finish.Are TPU inner tubes better than classic butyl bicycle inner tubes:- Yes, TPU bicycle inner tubes such as those from Aeron-TPU can be created or engineered, so to speak. This means that engineers can give a bicycle inner tube exactly the attributes that the rider needs for the application in question. Of course, a TPU inner tube can be produced in different sizes and widths and also with a desired valve. But there´s more: a TPU inner tube can be produced in such a way that it offers more or less puncture protection, it can be heavier or lighter and, of course, come in different colours. Many tests carried out by independent institutes and test magazines ultimately clearly show the advantages of bicycle inner tubes made of TPU over those made of butyl.Lighter: lower weight:- Aeron/TPU Airtubes are on average two thirds lighter than comparable butyl bicycle tubes. TPU tubes are significantly lighter than butyl tubes. While a road bike tyre made of the well-known material weighs around 120 grams, a TPU inner tube of comparable width weighs between 25 and 40 grams (including valve). Incidentally, the TPU tube also performs better in comparison with a tubeless system in which between 30 and 60 millimetres/gram of sealant plus valve are used.Work with less pressure:- TPU inner tubes require less air pressure than butyl tyres. Due to the high surface tension and strength of the material, the tyre develops good stability even at low air pressure. It is therefore already well formed at less than one bar, when a butyl tyre is still flabby. With the TPU tube, lower pressures can also be used in the tyre casing, which significantly increases comfort when riding.Better puncture protection:- TPU is far ahead of butyl here too. Due to high elasticity and material strength, Aeron/TPU Airtubes have extremely high puncture protection. TPU is more resistant to tears and cuts compared to conventional rubber inner tubes. If you want to puncture a TPU tube with a needle, for example, you need three to four times as much force to punch a hole in the material compared to a butyl tube. Even when it comes to the risk of so-called snakebite - when the tube is subjected to high pressure, it punctures the rim of the rim and creates two holes - the TPU tube impresses with its greater inherent stability and performs significantly better than a butyl tube. In fact, manufacturers can even produce their TPU inner tubes in multiple layers and thus improve the resistance of their products enormously. If a TPU inner tube does have to accept a hole, it can be repaired easily, cleanly and quickly with self-adhesive patches - no more roughening the surface as with butyl tubes, no more glue on your fingers.Lower Rolling Resistance:- Aeron/TPU Airtubes absorb less energy, which significantly reduces rolling resistance.Less air loss:- Aeron/TPU Airtubes retain air significantly longer than butyl bicycle tubes. TPU tubes have a lower permeability compared to some rubber tubes. This means that they are less susceptible to air loss, which has a positive effect on tyre pressure and riding characteristics. They are also more resistant to weather conditions such as extreme heat or cold.TPU inner tubes are ridden with a similar air pressure to butyl inner tubes:- Depending on the tyre width, cyclists can therefore ride with 1.5 to over 3 bar air pressure (this is an example to illustrate this). What´s more, TPU inner tubes can even be ridden at very low pressures without immediately collapsing - although this would of course increase the risk of punctures. What´s more, as already mentioned, TPU inner tubes can be created, i.e. equipped with special properties such as good rolling resistance or optimised puncture protection.Heat-resistant even with rim brakes:- TPU Bicycle inner tubes can also be risen with rim brakes. Bicycle inner tubes made of thermoplastic polyurethane can withstand even high levels of heat. With this in mind, they can be mounted on a rim or a wheel with disc brakes or rim brakes.More sustainable:- Both butyl and TPU inner tubes can be recycled. However, TPU products leave a significantly lower CO2 footprint during manufacturing. This is due to the raw material and the lower weight. Less water is also used in the production of TPU hoses. TPU is a pure material and can be 100 percent recycled into raw materials for the production of new TPU tubes. Significantly less water is required during production compared to the production of butyl bicycle tubes. This is another big advantage of TPU over butyl inner tubes. Butyl can be shredded and then only used as filler material, for example in shock absorption mats or possibly during tyre production. Old TPU inner tubes, on the other hand, can be shredded, then heated and melted down before a new inner tube is made from the material.Smaller pack size:- Aeron/TPU Airtubes can be rolled up tightly into an incredibly compact size. Even if there are die-hard tubeless fans out there, a puncture in open terrain is a problem, and if you can´t close the hole even with a tyre plug kit, you´ll need a spare tube. A TPU inner tube is also much better than a butyl tube for this purpose, as it is not only lighter than the rubber product, but also packs down much smaller. This is an advantage for all cyclists, but especially for bikepackers who have to carry a lot of luggage on their bikes on long tours anyway.Specifications:- Size: 650B-700C- Tire width: 32-52 mm- Protection level: 3- Weight: +- 56 g- Valve Shaft Material: Polymer- Valve/length: SV 42 mm- Brake type: Suitable for disc brakes only
