Product Description

Developed for performance and puncture protection for everyday or leisure use. Developed for bikers who want maximum reliability in everyday use. Aeron/TPU tubes for city and touring are characterised by optimised puncture protection. Their low weight and low rolling resistance also increase performance and the fun factor on every tour.Anyone who is out and about on their bike or e-bike in the city or on a weekend tour in their free time first and foremost needs a reliable inner tube with high puncture protection. The Aeron/TPU Performance Protect and the Performance Ultra Protect fulfil these requirements perfectly. The fact that they weigh only half or even a third of a conventional butyl inner tube is a further advantage when it comes to saving more power or battery performance with a lighter system.Cyclists have always relied on butyl inner tubes. Everyone knows them, everyone has patched or changed them after a puncture. However, the cycling world is on the brink of a new era, and the good old black butyl inner tube will soon be a thing of the past. With thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), a new material is entering the world of bicycle inner tubes that promises many advantages over butyl inner tubes.Are TPU inner tubes better for Trekking bikes and City bikes:- You might think that TPU bicycle inner tubes are particularly suitable for sporty road or mountain bike riders due to the advantages mentioned above. After all, performance-orientated cyclists in particular are interested in the advantages of the thermoplastic material: Rolling resistance as good as latex tubes, puncture protection like a tubeless system or light and small so that a tube fits in any small jersey or tool bag. But what´s good for athletes can´t be bad for a rider on a trekking bike or city bike. Even those who are out and about in the city or on a leisurely weekend tour will appreciate the small pack size and weight, as well as the puncture protection and low rolling resistance of TPU inner tubes and thus the better riding experience.What are the best bicycle inner tubes for Trekking and City Bikes:- Ultimately, this question has already been answered in the section above. TPU inner tubes are the future, the old butyl tubes have had their day. In this respect, TPU inner tubes are also the best choice for riders of trekking and city bikes. Ultimately, the only question here is which TPU inner tube the rider chooses. If he already has a casing, i.e. a bicycle tyre, with high puncture protection and a large wall thickness in the carcass, he does not need to choose a TPU inner tube with optimised puncture protection. Such a trekking bike rider can then opt for a very light TPU inner tube. However, if the city bike is fitted with a visually attractive but very slim, thin tyre, a TPU inner tube with increased puncture protection is worthwhile.Tubeless or inner tubes:- Many cyclists shy away from fitting tubeless systems, not least because fitting with the rim tape and the sealant - especially if you are inexperienced - can turn into quite a mess. Nevertheless, more and more cyclists have switched to tubeless systems in recent years, ultimately because tubeless, in combination with the sealant added to the system, provides excellent puncture protection and there are now many good descriptions in text and moving images on how to fit them. Mountain bikers and gravel bikers in particular have opted for this feature in combination with better rolling resistance compared to tyres with a butyl inner tube. Even racing cyclists are increasingly discovering a liking for tubeless tyres - mainly due to the low rolling resistance. However, the new TPU bicycle tubes could now become serious competition for tubeless systems. Because if fitting is easier than with tubeless, the rolling resistance is only slightly worse and the puncture protection is very good, then trekking and city bikers in particular, who don´t want to stand in the middle of the forest or go to the nearest restaurant with dirty fingers and dirty clothing, are very well advised to use a TPU tube.Imagine a material incredibly light, almost as weightless as the air it contains. 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 or for electrical cables and insulation.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.TPU-Material of the future:- Due to its unique material properties, thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) offers exclusive advantages for the development and manufacture of bicycle inner tubes.Classifications:SuperLite Race:- Super-light and puncture-proof –for racing and performance use.

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 . 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: 700C- Tire width: 37-50 mm- Protection level: 6- Weight: +- 100 g- Valve/length: SV 42 mm- Valve Shaft Material: Polymer- Brake type: Suitable for disc brakes only
