Schwalbe’s revolutionary new tube made of Aerothan achieves top values for elasticity, weight and puncture protection never seen before - and all that without rubber. For road bikes, mountain bikes and trekking bikes. 100 grams less weight on a road bike, puncture protection for extreme touring cyclists and air pressures around one bar on a mountain bike with no increased risk of pinch flats: What seemed impossible has now become reality with the new thermoplastic polyurethane called Aerothan. With the Aerothan tube, cyclists and long-distance riders may push their limits even further than before. Aerothan tubes are much more robust and durable than butyl, latex and other synthetic tubes.

The transparent tube starts at a mere 41 grams and is truly innovative: “For five years, we have tested the material in cooperation with BASF and improved it to perfection, exploring a completely new area of technology. This was the only way to surpass apparent obstacles of wanting to combine minimal weight and greatest puncture protection,” says Felix Schäfermeier, Schwalbe Product Manager. “The result has exceeded our expectations!” The material, a thermoplastic polyurethane, has incredible
physical characteristics: a high level of resilience, unique ultimate tensile strength, superior damping properties, extreme heat resistance and greatest wear-resistance. Of course, it is also recyclable.
