Tubeless is great for many applications, but it comes with the hassle of having to top up sealant frequently. If you don’t ride on debris-strewn highway shoulders (where the sealant will seal small punctures from glass and steel wires) and if your tires are wide enough (so you don’t get pinch flats), tubes are a great choice. TPU tubes take the performance of your tires to the next level.

TPU, known as thermoplastic polyurethane, is a material that surpasses the strength of traditional black rubber tubes made of butyl. It is the perfect choice for bicycle tubes, providing numerous benefits:

• Lighter than butyl/latex tubes, and tubeless sealant
• Offers superior speed compared to both butyl and latex tubes, providing the best of both worlds.
• Offers a higher level of puncture resistance compared to butyl or latex tubes.
• As airtight as butyl tubes.
• Packs very small—ideal as a backup for tubeless tires

Ditch those subpar TPU tubes with flimsy plastic valve stems that can't handle the pressure of a metallic valve core! Embrace the superior seal of Rene Herse TPU tubes, equipped with a patented all-metal valve for unbeatable leak-proof performance.

To ensure durability and ease of installation, our Rene Herse TPU tubes feature slightly increased wall thickness and resistance to punctures and pinch flats. These superlight tubes are trusted in demanding events, including the 350-mile race across the Flint Hills of Kansas, and are compatible with both disc and rim brakes.

Get your ride rolling with the Presto Valve - either 50 mm (polished) or 70 mm (black)! These smooth stems make it a breeze to attach and detach press-on pump heads.
