Tubo MTB Tube - 29in

Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) is a flexible and durable type of plastic that is ideal for bike tubes because it combines strength with lightweight properties. TPU is resistant to wear and tear, making it perfect for rough conditions, such as mountain biking, where durability is essential.

A Presta Valve is a narrower valve type commonly found on higher-end bicycles. It allows for higher air pressure, making it suitable for road and mountain biking. Unlike the more common Schrader valve, the Presta valve has a longer stem (like the 42mm length mentioned) which is important for fitting various rim types.

Puncture resistance refers to a bike tube's ability to resist being pierced by sharp objects. A tube with higher puncture resistance, like the Tubo MTB Tube, is less likely to get flat tires, allowing for a smoother and more reliable biking experience, especially on rough terrains.

Tubeless systems eliminate the need for inner tubes, sealing the tire directly to the rim with a special sealant. This setup can be lighter and provide better performance by reducing the risk of pinch flats. However, it may require more maintenance and can be messier to set up compared to traditional tube systems.

Packed tube size refers to how compactly a bike tube can be stored. A smaller packed size means the tube takes up less space in your backpack or saddlebag, making it easier to carry a spare without adding significant weight or bulk. The Tubo MTB Tube boasts a packed size that is half that of standard tubes, enhancing portability for cyclists.

The Tubo MTB Tube offers twice the puncture resistance compared to standard rubber tubes. This means it is significantly less likely to suffer from flats due to sharp objects, providing you with greater peace of mind and a more enjoyable ride, especially on challenging trails.
