Escapa presents theTubolito BMX Tube 22/24 Presta 42mm, an innovative inner tube for BMX bikes, compatible with 22- and 24-inch wheels thanks to its elastic thermoplastic material. It is significantly lighter and more compact than butyl inner tubes, while also offering superior puncture resistance, making it a versatile, high-performance solution.
Features:
- Size: Designed to be compatible with 22-inch and 24-inch wheels. This adaptability is one of its most distinctive and advantageous features, especially for Riders who own bikes with both wheel sizes or who are looking for a universal replacement solution.
- Valve: 42mm-long Presta valve. The Presta valve is the most common on many high-performance bicycles and is preferred for its light weight and ease of precise inflation.
- Material: Made from a high-tech thermoplastic elastomer (TPU). This material is the key to its extreme elasticity, durability, lightness, and compactness.
- Tire Compatibility: Thanks to its elasticity, it is compatible with a wide range of tire widths for both wheel sizes, for example, from 22x1.75" to 24x2.50" (or equivalent ETRTO ranges, confirming its versatility).
Key Benefits:
- Dual-Size Versatility: Its main appeal is its ability to accommodate both 22" and 24" tires, making it incredibly practical as a spare or for cyclists who use both sizes.
- Ultra-Lightweight: Although it is not the “S-Tube” version (the lightest), it is still significantly lighter than equivalent butyl tubes (often up to 60–70% lighter), which helps reduce rotational weight.
- Compact: Its material allows it to fold down to a much smaller size than butyl tubes, taking up less space and making it easy to carry.
- Puncture Resistance: It offers greater puncture resistance than standard butyl tubes, making it more robust against punctures.
- Low Rolling Resistance: The thermoplastic material and optimized construction contribute to lower rolling resistance.
