Pros & Cons
- A Thermoplastic Polyurethane inner tube is more elastic and about 70% lighter than a standard Butyl inner tube.
- An impressive 35 grams on the scale and just as puncture resistant as a Butyl inner tube!
- This inner tube is also much more compact to carry and suitable for rim brake and disc brake wheels.
- Make sure to replace this tube very carefully, as it would be a shame if your more expensive inner tube breaks before even using it..

Impressive weight
Because this inner tube is made of TPU, it has an impressive weight of just 35 grams. By comparison, a butyl inner tube can easily weigh 100 grams more. This mean that this is one of the cheapest ways to shave 100 grams off the weight of your bike - with two of these tubes, it's even 200 grams!
Rides like tubeless
The Pirelli P ZERO SmarTUBE is an evolution for cyclists using a standard clincher setup, but still want to experience the weight advantage of tubeless and improve their performance. This inner tube is also much more compact to carry as a spare tyre for a tubeless setup or in general. These tubes are compatible with both disc and rim brakes - a big advantage over latex tubes.

2 / 5
Very fine inner tube, but too vulnerable at the connection of valve and tyre
After fitting, I am very happy with the feel of the tyre and the extra comfort it provides. Unfortunately, the rear tyre has gone flat twice now, first after more than 3000 km, but the second time within 1000 km, not due to an external cause, but because cracks appear in the connection between the valve and the tyre. Apparently, this is a vulnerable spot.
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Bit pricey, but then you have something
I have particular experience with the Schwalbe Aerothan TPU inner tubes: I have ridden 6,000 km with them and zero punctures. However, they are no longer available with 80 mm valves. These are actually even lighter and smaller. This makes them really good to take with you as a spare. Fitting them is not very difficult or different: insert the valve, add a little air (not too much! 0.5 bar max), fit them neatly and fit the outer tyre (be careful not to get the inner tube in between). Then inflate and you're there. They are a bit pricey, but you can enjoy them for quite a few km with a bit of luck.

4 / 5
fast and light tyres of reliable quality
Very good inner tubes. They are fast and light. Been riding about 2500km on my first pair and am very satisfied. 0 punctures and contrary to what I read here and there, they stay at pressure just fine. After about 5 days, maybe 0.1/0.2 bar has escaped, but that is a matter of re-pumping before your ride. Valves do tend to rattle in the rim, which I solved with a bit of insulating tape, which is why they get 4 stars from me, also because 20 euros per tyre is quite expensive.

Toppers
I have been riding with TPU tyres for a while now.And when you get used to them you don't go back to regular inner tubes

Fun to try, but you never know which ride is the last one.
They are fast, which really makes your ride that much more enjoyable, but they are also not very durable. You do feel extra cautious when these are on. I had a flat within the first 500k. For me, the performance gain is not worth it. It was fun while it lasted, but I'm going back to butyle.
