TPU – MATERIAL OF THE FUTURE
Due to its unique material properties, thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) offers exclusive advantages for the development and manufacture of bicycle inner tubes.
Aeron TPU Inner Tubes
AERON TPU TECHNOLOGY SEPARATES TOMORROW FROM YESTERDAY
Imagine a material incredibly light, almost as weightless as the air it contains. Imparting suppleness when comfort is needed. Lightweight when a mountain climb is approaching, or when wheels need to spin quickly to the finish line. Impenetrably strong when endurance is the task or when the road or trail turns rough. And sustainable to be remade again and again.
-
-
LOWER WEIGHT
AERON TPU Airtubes are on average two thirds lighter than comparable butyl bicycle tubes.
-
SMALL PACKING SIZE
AERON TPU Airtubes can be rolled up tightly into an incredibly compact size.
-
LOWER ROLLING RESISTANCE
AERON TPU Airtubes absorb less energy, which significantly reduces rolling resistance.
-
HIGHER AIR RETENTION
AERON TPU Airtubes retain air significantly longer than butyl bicycle tubes.
-
BETTER PRICE PERFORMANCE RATIO
AERON TPU airtube setups are cheaper, lighter and easier to maintain compared to tubeless performance setups*.
* accounting for all the components involved, such as the tire, valve, rim tape and sealant.
-
PUNCTURE PROTECTION
Due to high elasticity and material strength, AERON TPU Airtubes have extremely high puncture protection.
-
SUSTAINABILITY
TPU is a pure material and can be 100 percent recycled into raw materials for the production of new TPU tubes. Significantly less water is required during production compared to the production of butyl bicycle tubes.
Product Categories
MTB
Tech for trails: AERON TPU provides the perfect tube technology for mountain bikers with the best compromise between lightness, puncture resistance and low rolling resistance. Specific models offer you the perfect tube for your favourite mountain bike discipline, depending on your preferred terrain or riding style.
Road
Ultra-light, super-fast and mega-compact: AERON TPU road bike tubes are trimmed for maximum performance. Depending on the discipline and intended use, they guarantee you the perfect set-up with a focus on maximum weight saving and minimum rolling resistance or outstanding puncture protection.
CX / Gravel
TPU technology, perfectly designed for off-road use: Lightweight, puncture-proof, low rolling resistance and the smallest pack size. AERON offers high-performance tubes for gravel and cyclocross racers as well as variants with maximum puncture protection for bikepackers and ultra-riders.
City / Tour
Developed for bikers who want maximum reliability in everyday use. AERON TPU tubes for city and touring are characterised by optimised puncture protection. Their low weight and low rolling resistance also increase performance and the fun factor on every tour.
