Reviews over the

Schwalbe Aerothan Race

Bought 2 new inner tubes in one month. One time as in previous reviews a leak at the valve and the 2nd time 2 very small holes. With butyl tyres I rode for years without a puncture. I will now try the Latex tyres from Vittoria, hopefully more luck

Pros & Cons

Fine tpu band with an excellent price for the band you get

Pros & Cons

Super product, sturdy tyres that can absorb extreme shocks without riding flat.

Pros & Cons

Nice-looking super-light inner tube. Easy to fit. Quite pricey but seems to be well worth it. Seems to be easy to stick with special stickers. Fortunately no experience yet. Nice looking and actually a shame to hide it in the outer tyre.

Pros & Cons

Meanwhile, 5000 km have been ridden with the same set of Aerothan inner tubes without a puncture.

Pros & Cons

Flat tyre twice in a row without a hole, probably valve the weak spot.

Pros & Cons

Putting on simple, no different from any other inner tube. Riding experience really nice.

Pros & Cons

Replacing butyl inner tubes with these TPU tubes -> excellent results! Smooth running, keeps the pressure, the modern inner tube!

I was curious after reading some reviews and have been trying them out for about a month now. They ride very nicely but the valves that come with them really suck. Every time I pump them up they come loose and the whole tyre goes flat. They are also not very pressure-resistant, but with the screw thread of the valve this is not surprising either. Fortunately, they haven't gone flat yet.

Pros & Cons

With the Schwalbe Aerothan inner tube, my bike is a bit faster than with normal inner tubes. With the Aerothan tubes I've probably had one more flat tyre in 2 years. Unlike with the normal inner tubes. I had to change the inner tube every few weeks because of a flat tyre.

After reading some reviews, my curiosity was piqued, so I decided to order! Fitting the inner tubes went very smoothly. The main question: what is it like to ride with them? In all honesty, the difference is only small. Acceleration is slightly better and while riding you notice more clearly that you are riding "tubeless". What I am not satisfied with, however, are the valves. By the third ride, air was already escaping from one of the valves, and that for a tube costing more than €20. They should not have skimped on the weight of the valves. Conclusion: nice to test once, but I switched back to "regular" inner tubes, as they are more reliable and cheaper in the long run!

Pros & Cons

Great product, unfortunately not quite good value for money

Excellent tyre. Lower rolling resistance vs higher puncture risk. In addition, puncture resistance depends largely on your outer tyre.

Pros & Cons

I've been riding Schwalbe Aerothan race tubes for nearly 4 years now. They're the best! They're light and very comfortable over very long distances.

Bought as a replacement for a butyl inner tube. It was expected that this inner tube would provide a noticeable difference while riding. Fitting it is no different than usual. However, I did take more care, because it was said to be more vulnerable. With only the rear tyre changed, there is no noticeable difference while riding. What is noticeable is that it punctures quickly, at the end of the first ride, after about 45 km. For now, I will stick to butyl inner tubes.

Pros & Cons

Unimpressed. Mounts like any other inner tube. A bit more careful fitting because they are so thin and fragile. Maintains tyre pressure very poorly. Before with continental butils, check once a week and maybe add 1 bar. Now I have to check before every ride. Inflating to 80 psi before the ride. Next morning, the front tyre still has 40 psi and the rear tyre maybe 20 psi. While riding, I experience no noticeable pressure loss. I suspect that these inner tubes travel badly because problems have started to occur especially after 2 airplane trips and the bike was with them. I don't trust them for in race situations (long-distance triathlon).

Pros & Cons

More resistant to punctures in my opinion than the Revoloop brand and than a conventional chamber, but like many users, fragile at the level of the valve reinforcement on the chamber. My two chambers had this problem a month apart after a year's use. Fortunately, the leak was very slow and both times I was able to go home. Afterwards, they were easily repaired with the Super Patch Park Tool GP-2, which is really cheap, super effective and reliable over time, and is also sold on this site. So no regrets!

Front and rear installed, all seemed to work out fine until I wanted to go cycling a week later and inflated the tyres to 5.5 bar. An hour later they were both flat.

Pros & Cons

Initial fitting was good to do but a little trickier than regular butyl. Rides just as comfortable as latex only you don't have to re-pump every day. Unfortunately after

Pros & Cons

Nice inner tubes to ride. Give feeling of tubeless setup. However, the puncture resistance is very poor. Got a puncture in 50 km ride on the road good where butyl inner tube lasted for 5000+ km.

Pros & Cons

If valve leaks up to twice in a short time. Dangerous and unreliable

Pros & Cons

Aerothane the probably fastest hose you can use, keeps with me (since only retracted in the competition running set )just like a Continental hose.

Pros & Cons

Exactly as expected

Tires installed and then you definitely feel the difference.

Pros & Cons

Easy to assemble, but difficult to inflate. The valve is plastic, and looks fragile. When inflating you actually have to clamp it very tightly, otherwise air escapes. It does ride great, rolls easily, and I haven't had a puncture yet (despite rides on bad pavement).

Pros & Cons

The assembly is almost even easier than rubber hoses, because they have less friction on the jacket. The only point to which you have to pay attention: As is often reported with Schwalbe, the valves are sometimes not tight when first inflated. If you screw the valve by hand or if necessary with a small pair of pliers further pure, but everything is good.

Pros & Cons

Am road cyclist and have two of them in my saddle bag as security since I drive tubeless.

Pros & Cons

First ride immediately punctured. Can happen of course but then you can't buy a repair kit from Mantel to fix inner tube. I was very disappointed.

Pros & Cons

What a bad inner tube, flat after only 10 km! Quickly back on latex.

Pros & Cons

Too few kilometers so far

Pros & Cons

Everything TOP

Idelae for mountain holidays with profiles of up to 30

Pros & Cons

Having tried other road tubes of this type (but orange), these are much more comfortable, with a comfort similar to that of latex tubes. Rolling performance is excellent, while lightness and puncture resistance are exceptional.

Pros & Cons

Super good handling but not durable. Tried several sets but punctures very quickly. Not only while riding but also when stationary, on rim side and tire side. Same experience with gravel bike and road bike.

Pros & Cons

EXCELLENT PRODUCT with ease of assembly and durability, only downside the price

Pros & Cons

In the meantime, due to the exclusively good experience with the new tube Aerothan from Schwalbe, I have completely converted the first road bike to the new hoses, including spare tube. The tube opens up new possibilities to lower the starting weight of the bike safely and relatively cheaply. 3 x 60g make halt good 180g reduction, even if the tube weighs not 41g but rather 45g. The rolling characteristics are very good. Since I have not driven tubeless so far, I can not compare it. The assembly is easier, because the tube is not constantly somewhere "stuck". My Crosser comes next.

Pros & Cons

Ultra-lightweight inner tube although it retains, and would seem to surpass, the puncture resistance qualities of traditional inner tubes.

Pros & Cons

Punctured on first ride. Racing bike . Mounted at the same time as new tires. Puncture with an almost invisible vegetable plug. And to say I hadn't punctured in over a year. I had to spend 25 euros to puncture right away.

Of my two chambers bought a month apart, one can't hold the pressure and leaks through the shell, even though it's tight, after a 3:00-4:00 outing. I've temporarily solved this problem by putting a bit of plumber's Teflon on the shell thread! Will this measure hold over time? Otherwise an excellent product in terms of feel and performance...

Pros & Cons

Wheels: Fulcrum Racing Zero. Tires used: Schwalbe Pro One. Switched from ordinary Schwalbe/Conti tunes. To me comfort is second to none. I can best describe it as an incredible smooth ride. 76 kgs so I have 94 psi front 96 psi rear. Repair when puncture is my only concern....but I still but them again to get the comfort.

Pros & Cons

Very nice riding inner tube. Bolts wonderfully, and also holds its pressure much better than a latex tube. The only drawback I have encountered is the plastic valve shaft this is vulnerable when screwing in a valve core, this one tire would not hold pressure because of this.

Pros & Cons

All ok

Pros & Cons

Unfortunately, because of a pothole he pinched himself.

Pros & Cons

I really like the Aerothan

Pros & Cons

Easy to fit, holds pressure well, lightweight. Makes the bike more precise and "softer" at the same time. You can feel the difference with a Schwalbe Extralight.

Pros & Cons

The first impression is....... impressive!!! I have done a few more miles but it changes the world
