🚀 WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH Ridenow TPU TUBES?
You’ve probably seen these little pink tubes popping up… but what actually makes RideNow TPU Tubes so good? 👀
They’re not your traditional rubber inner tube.
TPU = Thermoplastic Polyurethane, a modern material that allows RideNow to make an inner tube that is incredibly light, compact and strong.
💥 WHY MAKE THE SWITCH?
⚖️ SERIOUS WEIGHT SAVINGS
TPU tubes can weigh dramatically less than traditional butyl tubes. Less rotating weight means a bike that feels more responsive when accelerating and changing direction.
💨 LOWER ROLLING RESISTANCE
Less energy lost through the tyre means more of your effort goes into moving the bike forward.
🛡️ TOUGH & PUNCTURE RESISTANT
Despite being ridiculously thin, TPU is engineered to provide excellent resistance to punctures compared with many traditional lightweight tubes.
🎒 TINY WHEN PACKED
This is one of our favourite features. A TPU tube folds down incredibly small, making it the PERFECT spare to throw in your race bag, backpack or jersey pocket.
🏁 PERFECT FOR RACING
When you're chasing every possible advantage, saving weight at the wheel is one of the easiest upgrades you can make.
And the best part?
You don't need to buy a new wheelset or change your tyres to feel the difference. Simply swap your standard tubes for RideNow TPU.
🤔 SO… ARE THEY WORTH IT?
If you're looking for an easy way to make your bike lighter, more responsive and race-ready, we'd definitely put TPU tubes on the upgrade list.
RideNow TPU Tubes are available at BB Cycles.
