Hutchinson ’s TPU inner tube is up to 60 per cent lighter than a conventional butyl inner tube.
TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) is a lighter and more compact material than traditional butyl. This difference translates into a saving of around 70 g per wheel, a significant benefit for cyclists seeking peak performance.
As well as being lighter, the TPU inner tube also takes up 50 per cent less space, making it easier to carry in the event of a puncture whilst out on the road. Its rolling resistance is also optimised, offering a ride feel similar to that of a tubeless setup.
Yes, this TPU inner tube Hutchinson is designed to be compatible with both Tubetype and Tubeless Ready set-ups.
This versatility means it can be used on both standard tubetype tyres and tubeless-ready tyres, providing a practical spare or additional option for a wide range of wheel set-ups.
The moulded TPU base ensures excellent airtightness, which is essential for this type of versatile use.
The weight saving is around 70 g per wheel, which is up to 60 per cent less than a conventional butyl inner tube.
This weight saving is due to the properties of TPU, which is lighter than the traditional butyl used in standard inner tubes.
For a cyclist fitting both wheels, the total weight saving can be up to 140 g – a significant figure for competitive cyclists looking to save every gram, particularly to boost acceleration.
This TPU inner tube Hutchinson is available in several road rim sizes: 700x25 to 35 mm and 700x35 to 50 mm.
A version is also available for 29x1.9 to 2.5 sizes, extending compatibility beyond strictly road use.
It is important to check the exact product code corresponding to your tyre size before purchasing, as each product code corresponds to a specific range of sizes.
Three Presta valve lengths are available: 48 mm, 60 mm and 80 mm.
The choice of valve length depends mainly on the height of the rim being used. A high-profile rim will require a longer valve to protrude sufficiently from the rim and allow for easy inflation.
You should therefore measure the height of your rim before selecting the appropriate product from those available at Hutchinson.
The ultra-compact design of the TPU inner tube, which takes up 50 per cent less space, makes it easy to carry in a jersey pocket or small saddle bag.
For cyclists who prefer minimalist kit, particularly in competitions or on long rides, having a lightweight, space-saving spare inner tube is a definite practical advantage.
This allows you to carry a spare inner tube without unnecessarily weighing down your bike or bag.
The black aluminium Presta valve has been designed to combine durability against bending with a premium design.
The moulded TPU base surrounding it ensures an excellent seal, which is crucial for preventing gradual pressure loss, particularly on tubeless-ready set-ups where a tight seal is essential.
This reinforced design withstands the mechanical stresses placed on the valve during inflation and road vibrations.
This TPU inner tube Hutchinson is specifically designed for road use.
The available rim sizes (700x25 to 35 and 700x35 to 50) correspond to the standards for road and lightweight gravel bike tyres, making it a suitable choice for triathletes using road-style wheels.
A version for 29-inch rims is also available, potentially extending its use to other disciplines.
