Escapa presents theTubolito Tubo Foldingbike 20 Presta 42mm Inner Tube, an innovative 20-inch inner tube for folding bikes. Made from a lightweight thermoplastic, it is up to 60–70% lighter and significantly more compact than traditional butyl inner tubes, while also offering greater puncture resistance and lower rolling resistance for a more efficient riding experience.
Features:
- Valve: 42mm Presta valve. The Presta valve is the most common on high-performance and folding bikes, and 42mm is a standard length that fits most rims well.
- Material: Made from a high-tech thermoplastic elastomer. Unlike traditional butyl, this material is the key to its unique properties.
- Key Benefits:
- Ultra-lightweight: They are significantly lighter than equivalent butyl tubes (often up to 60–70% lighter), which helps reduce wheel weight and improve acceleration.
- Compact: Their material allows them to fold up much smaller than butyl tubes, taking up less space in your tool bag or backpack—ideal for folding bikes with limited space.
- Puncture Resistance: They offer greater puncture resistance than standard butyl tubes, making them more durable and less prone to small punctures.
- Low Rolling Resistance: Their material and construction contribute to lower rolling resistance compared to butyl, which can result in a more efficient riding experience.
