AERON/TPU is the most recent to step deeper into the high-performance, ultra-light internal tube recreation. Based by RTI Sports activities Group, the oldsters behind Ergon saddles and grips, AERON desires to instill longevity and sturdiness into the hyper-lightweight tube world and swap out much less user-friendly (however gentle) plastic valves for alloy ones.
Their SuperLight Race collection, which debuted on the UK CORE bike present, is aimed toward weight-conscious riders in search of low rolling resistance, compact pack dimension, and top-tier puncture safety.
Aluminum Presta Valves For the Win
The SuperLight Race tubes include aluminum Presta valves, delivering a lighter, stronger, and extra adaptable setup for racers and efficiency riders.
Right here’s what makes them stand out:
Detachable valve core for straightforward sealant injection
Higher compatibility with valve extenders
Extra proof against excessive temperatures
A machined valve stem ensures a safe pump head connection
Constructed for sturdiness (in comparison with plastic valves)
Weight Weenies – Prep Your Pockets
The SuperLight Race lineup is impressively gentle, with fashions for highway, MTB, and CX/gravel:
Highway SuperLite Race (23-28mm, Presta 42mm): 21g
MTB SuperLite Race (1.7″-2.5″, Presta 42mm): 40g
CX/Gravel SuperLite Race (32-52mm, Presta 42mm): 30g
Worth: 24,95 €, £22.99, $29.95 per tube.
Availability—When Can You Get Them?
AERON/TPU is rolling out the SuperLight Race aluminum valve tubes in April, with choices in 42mm, 65mm, and 80mm valve lengths. For these in search of a extra budget-friendly TPU valve model, 42mm fashions might be accessible in Could and 65/80mm in July.
