AERON tube 28" Gravel / CX ExtraLite Protect 622x32 - 52C | SV 42 mm
Cyclists have relied on butyl tubes for over 130 years. That could soon be over. The manufacturer Aeron is part of the technological leap and supplies high-quality TPU tubes - produced in Austria. In contrast to butyl tubes, TPU tubes can be produced according to the engineers' ideas with special attributes that are required for the respective area of application. Depending on requirements, the tubes can be produced in multiple layers, with more or less puncture protection, or in a specific color. TPU is generally more resistant to tears and the plastic tubes are significantly lighter than conventional butyl tubes with the same load capacity. The smaller pack size also makes them the perfect spare tube for your jersey or saddle bag. Compared to tubeless systems, TPU tubes are easier to fit and the sometimes frustrating struggle with non-sealing tires is a thing of the past.
The Aeron TPU gravel bike tubes offer you a quick and puncture-proof setup. Even with the 31 gram SuperLite Race version, the puncture protection is still on a par with a conventional butyl tube. For increased puncture protection with a 61% weight saving compared to a comparable butyl tube, you can fit the ExtraLite Protect version. If you want a complete carefree setup for bikepacking adventures, the UltraProtect version is the right choice.
Notes: Aeron TPU tubes are not approved for use with rim brakes. During assembly, the inner tube may only be filled to a maximum of 0.3 bar (43 PSI).
