Product Description
For a long time, the innertube has been overlooked in the bicycle industry. Tubolito are changing that. their vision: the perfect inner tube. Street, trail, gravel path or city - developed for the optimal cycling experience.
In cycling, every gram ground, even more if you reduce the rotational weight. Tubolito offers an easy and achievable weight tuning. Applying this technology allows them to build an innertube that weighs from only 44g for a 27.5 tube in the S-Tubo range.
Tubolito tubes are 2x stronger than standard butyl tubes, which makes them the ideal for rougher roads and mixed surfaces. They manage to do this whilst still being 2/3 lighter than standard butyl tubes by using a thermoplastic elastomer, called TPU - materials known for durability and excellent damping.
The tubes are offered in standard tubolito, providing increased performance over standard tubes for rim and disc brakes, whilst still saving weight over normal tubes. They are also available in the exceptionally lightweight S-Tubo range which makes the ideal backup tube to get you home. The S-Tube range is designed for disc-only applications, however with its removable value and extremely compact design allows the tube to be easily stored in a jersey pocket or saddle back without taking up unnecessary space, however still performing as well as any butyl tube counterpart.
