Schwalbe Aerothan Endurance Race Inner Tube

The Schwalbe Aerothan redefines the inner tube! By using a completely new type of plastic, Schwalbe has brought together the most opposite characteristics of an inner tube: low rolling resistance, low weight and high puncture resistance. To summarize: The Aerothan combines the puncture resistance of butyl tubes with the rolling resistance and weight of latex tubes.

The Schwalbe Aerothan Endurance Race is designed not only for use on road bikes with wider tyre sizes but is also suitable for use on cyclocross and gravel bikes. With its low weight and high puncture resistance, the Aerothan Endurance Race is the ideal high performance tube that will not let you down in heavy, even extreme conditions. Thanks to its outstanding heat resistance, it will continue to perform optimally even when you're braking hard on a regular basis.

Compact size
The Aerothan Endurance Race is not only much lighter than comparable butyl tubes, but also much more compact because the material is less thick than butyl. This makes the Aerothan Endurance Race a very handy product to be taken as a spare in a saddle bag or back pocket of your jersey. If you want to bring even less with you, you can also repair the Aerothan on the road with Schwalbe Glueless Patches, which you simply stick on the Aerothan without sanding it first. Do make sure the inner tube is clean before applying the patch.

100% recyclable
An Aerothan inner tube is 100% recyclable. Not only the tube itself is made of thermoplastic polyurethane, but so is the valve, from the cap to the valve core. As such, the whole product can be recycled. However, an Aerothan inner tube cannot be reused as an inner tube, but it can be used as an insulating material, for example. So, when you choose Aerothan, you choose durability!

Thermoplastic polyurethane: Aerothan
Schwalbe, in co-operation with BASF, has completely revised the Aerothan to meet all the specific requirements of an inner tube. For example, this thermoplastic polyurethane now has excellent heat resistance, which means that it can be used with rim brakes without any problems. The elasticity and durability of the material also make this inner tube very puncture resistant. Thanks to its high resilience and unique tensile strength, the Aerothan will stretch when meeting a sharp object, which reduces the chance of penetration significantly. Another great property of the Aerothan is that it cannot burst during cycling. Thus, you will never lose control of your bike because all the air suddenly escapes from your tyre. Rather, the Aerothan deflates slowly so that you can stop safely.

Use: Road, cyclocross, gravel
Designation: SV16E
Wheel size: 28 inch
ETRTO: 28-622 - 35-622
Valve: SV, 40 mm
Packaging size: 32 x 80 mm
Weight: 50 grams

The Aerothan Endurance Race is the wider version of the Aerothan Race. It is suitable for 28 inch tyres with widths between 28 and 35 mm. As the Aerothan Endurance is slightly wider, it also weighs a few grams more than the Aerothan Race: 50 grams versus 41 grams.
As the Presta valve is 40 mm long, you will have to use a valve extender for high rims. This is possible thanks to the removable valve core.
