Reviews over the

Vittoria Competition Latex 29"

Inner tube stays well pressurised. Lifetime about a year. Has the advantages of tubeless, without the disadvantages. The valve is slippery, you have to hold the head of your bicycle pump by the valve yourself, otherwise it will slide off the valve when you start pumping. By the way, is no reason not to buy the tyre.

Pros & Cons

Cut in 26'' for a 29'' wheel good puncture resistance (point, thorns) and lightness

Fitted this latex tyre in a Mavic Crossride wheel with Racing Ralph. Little bit of inflation during fitting to get the tyre in place. Some extra baby powder won't hurt either to reduce friction everywhere. In my experience, this is much better than the very sensitive TPU tyres and I haven't noticed much pressure loss either. This tyre loses pressure very slowly compared to a butyl rubber but I had the same or more pressure loss with tubeless and you certainly don't need to re-inflate every day if you are used to riding at 1.5 to 2 bar.

Pros & Cons

The latex inner tubes give a noticeably lower rolling resistance. They also maintain pressure beyond expectations for several days.

Pros & Cons

Excellent inner tube for the MTB. This latex inner tube is a lot more flexible compared to a standard butyl inner tube; you will notice this during the ride. Moreover, they are slightly lighter in weight. They lose around 0.1 bar of pressure per day.

Pros & Cons

TOP MATERIAL HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Pros & Cons

Having had tubeless, this also suits me fine. Personally, I find with inner tubes a bit easier to use.
