The SmarTUBE is Pirelli’s latest product in the world of tubes, as we continue to seek to improve performance in modern cycling.
They result from our development for the World Tour tubular, now made available for everyday rides with clinchers. Made from thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), it can save up to 70% of the weight of a general butyl tube and almost 50% of the space in your pockets while being stronger than butyl as a raw material.
It is available in a comprehensive range of sizes that include Road (P ZERO SmarTUBE), MTB (Scorpion SmarTUBE), and includes a reinforced version for Gravel or Endurance applications (Cinturato SmarTUBE). These tubes have two big benefits over butyl tubes:
- they reduce the rotating mass where it counts the most (wheels), making your bike livelier and quicker in accelerations to help improve your handling and climbing speed
- they save space in your pockets (or bags) so that you can carry more food and ride longer
As a bonus, the reinforced Cinturato SmarTUBE model has tuned the amazing properties of the TPU material to address different advantages: double the puncture protection compared to a standard butyl tube, and are lightweight and compact when folded away as a spare. Choose them for the weight saving or the space-saving; they will provide puncture-resistant performance and a (Racing) Pirelli yellow color – that won’t hurt.
Gravel (Cinturato SmarTUBE). Road (P ZERO SmarTUBE), and MTB (Scorpion SmarTUBE)
The new inner tube range is already available at the price of USD 36.90.
