Ultra Light Speed Inner Tubes

Performance from the future

When we started the development of the Ultra Light Speed inner tubes, we had one objective in mind. We wanted to create the better performing tubes ever in terms of lightness and rolling resistance. Good puncture resistance, performance and sustainability would have been the pillars of our inner tube of the future. After more than one year of research on materials and production processes, we have reached our objectives. Ultra Light Speed is the product that sets new benchmarks in the market.

Setting new standards

vs. Vittoria Standard Butyl inner tubes

Material and innovative product processes

Vittoria’s Ultra Light Speed inner tubes are made with thermoplastic polyurethane. Besides being completely recyclable, this material offers excellent technical characteristics; it is steady from -47°C up to +100°C. It can be consistently extruded in very thin thicknesses. It has a good elasticity and it is completely airtight, which allows keeping constant air pressure inside for long time. It is resistant to punctures and in case of puncture, the flow of air is slower compared to butyl and latex, which translates to increased safety.

In order to reach the incredible 30g lightness and a higher puncture resistance than butyl tubes, Ultra Light Speed are made with the multi-layer co-extrusion technology and are 0,35mm thick. They are extremely thin if compared to butyl inner tubes, which usually are 1mm thick. The welding is performed with high frequency technology.

Reduced thickness and easy to carry along

When compared to standard butyl tubes, the compact dimensions make Ultra Light Speed easy to carry along. It fits perfectly in your pocket or in your saddle bag.
