TPU Tube - 27.5in

TPU, or Thermoplastic Polyurethane, is a flexible and durable type of plastic that is resistant to wear and tear. It is used in bike tubes because it helps maintain the tube's shape and air retention, making it lightweight yet strong. This means you can enjoy a smoother ride without worrying about frequent replacements.

A Presta valve is narrower and typically found on higher-end bikes, while a Schrader valve is wider and commonly used in car tires. The design of the Presta valve allows for more precise inflation, making it ideal for road and performance bicycles. Knowing this helps you choose the right pump and maintain your bike tires effectively.

Airtightness refers to a bike tube's ability to hold air without leaking. It is crucial for preventing flat tires. Our TPU tubes are engineered to maximize airtightness, ensuring that you can ride longer without worrying about air loss, which enhances your overall biking experience.

The term "micrometer-thick" indicates that the TPU material used in our bike tubes is extremely thin, yet it contributes to the tube's lightweight nature and durability. This thinness allows for better performance without compromising strength, making it easier for you to ride faster and more efficiently.

Quality-checked means that each ContiTPU tube undergoes a thorough inspection after production to ensure it meets high standards of quality. This process guarantees that the tubes are free from defects and perform reliably, giving you peace of mind that you are purchasing a dependable product for your biking needs.

To determine if a TPU bike tube is suitable for your bike, check the size and valve type required for your tires. Most road and performance bikes use Presta valves, and you can find the correct tube size printed on the side of your tire.
