The new TPU Ultralight tubes combine lightness, low rolling resistance and puncture resistance.
As is usual in this sport, the street cyclist usually imitates what they see on the bikes of the professionals. For this reason, it is increasingly common to find on the road those who use tubeless tires on their wheels, a technology that has practically replaced the traditional tubular on racing bikes.
However, the advantages of the traditional tube and tire system still weigh heavily for many, especially in terms of simplicity and not having to worry about the maintenance that tubeless requires, such as checking that the fluid is kept in good condition or checking the pressure before each ride.
For the multitude of cyclists who still rely on the tube and tire system, The Ultralight Speed TPU tubes, that aim to combine in the same product the resistance and capacity to maintain the air of conventional butyl tubes with the weight and low rolling resistance provided by latex tubes.
As the name suggests, Ultralight Speed TPU are made from polyurethane, or TPU, a thermoplastic that remains stable at temperatures between -47 and 100°C and can be extruded in extremely thin layers while maintaining its elasticity and, unlike the more porous latex inner tubes, has a high air retention capacity.
In addition, TPU is a fully recyclable plastic, which undoubtedly adds a plus to the new cameras of the Italian brand.
To achieve the incredible 30 grams of weight that these Ultralight Speed TPU tires weigh on the scales and at the same time maintain an adequate resistance to punctures.The end result is a rubber that is only 0.35 mm thick compared to conventional butyl tires that are up to one millimeter thick.
