Aerothan TPU 29in Tube

Aerothan tubes are made from thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), which is lighter and more durable than traditional rubber. This unique material technology not only reduces the overall weight of your bike but also enhances puncture resistance and performance, making them ideal for mountain biking.

TPU is flexible and retains its shape, providing excellent strength and resistance to punctures. This means that Aerothan tubes can withstand rough terrains and impacts better than standard rubber tubes, allowing for a smoother and more reliable ride.

Snake bites are punctures that occur when the tire compresses against the rim, creating two small holes in the tube. Aerothan tubes are specifically designed to be resistant to these types of punctures, giving you peace of mind while riding on challenging trails.

Rolling resistance is the friction between your bike's tires and the ground. Lower rolling resistance means you can pedal with less effort and achieve higher speeds. Aerothan tubes are engineered to have low rolling resistance, which enhances your biking efficiency, especially during long rides or races.

Form stability refers to a tube's ability to maintain its shape under various conditions, such as low air pressure. Good form stability ensures that the tube does not deform or collapse, allowing for better control and handling of the bike. Aerothan tubes excel in form stability, providing a more controlled and enjoyable riding experience.

While Aerothan tubes are particularly beneficial for mountain biking due to their lightweight and durable properties, they can also be used for other biking styles, including cross-country and marathon biking. Their low rolling resistance and puncture resistance make them a versatile choice for various terrains and riding conditions.
