UNIQUE OF ITS KIND, LIGHT & EXTREMELY STABLE: THE INNER TUBE REVOLUTION MADE OF AEROTHAN

Schwalbe's revolutionary new inner tube made from Aerothan achieves unprecedented top values in elasticity, weight, and puncture resistance - and does so entirely without rubber. For road bikes, MTBs, and trekking bikes.

Aerothan tube: The new benchmark for low weight and puncture resistance

The effects of these properties in the Aerothan Tube are impressively demonstrated by comparison tests with other models. The plunger test simulates the penetration of a small object, such as grit. This is precisely what causes many punctures in practice. Here, Aerothan lasts twice as long as other materials: 47 Newtons are needed to puncture the Aerothan tube - more than twice as much as with other materials. Even in the snakebite test with a guillotine, Schwalbe's new inner tube can withstand significantly greater drop heights than butyl, latex, or other plastic inner tubes. Its heat resistance is also excellent: it has been tested at temperatures of over 150 °C at 78 km/h in a specially developed process.

When it comes to weight, Aerothan scores with its low weight, from 41 grams for road bikes to 61 grams for all-round riders to 81 grams for MTBs. In the rolling resistance test, the results match those of traditionally fast latex inner tubes and tubeless systems.

The extraordinary dimensional stability of the material offers even more advantages. Aerothan inner tubes do not burst suddenly, but air escapes slowly in the event of a defect. Even with extremely low air pressure, the shape and stability of riding remain stable. This reduces the chances of punctures or burping. And: assembly is much easier: the inner tube does not slip and cannot get pinched.

Incomparable riding experience

"Despite the high surface tension, the reset property is excellent and ensures a smooth and at the same time dynamic and precise riding experience that I have never experienced before," says Felix Schäfermeier, a former professional cyclist himself, about the incomparable riding experience. The inner tube fits the tire so smoothly and snugly, as if it were part of it.

Like all Schwalbe products, the new inner tube was not only created in the laboratory but also perfected through thousands of test rides. Professional cyclists, triathletes, World Cup mountain bikers, and world cyclists provided valuable feedback for the developers.

Including Patrick Lange, Ironman Hawaii World Champion 2017 and 2018. His conclusion: Aerothan is my first choice. On the one hand, because compared to conventional inner tubes, 100 grams per set of tires.
