Tubeless is great in many applications—anytime you’re riding in terrain so rough that you’ve got to worry about pinch flats or sidewall cuts. Then why do many riders run tubes? Greater speed—no liquid sealant sloshing around and slowing you down. And lower maintenance—no more finding that your tires have gone flat overnight for no apparent reason. Compared to butyl tubes, TPU tubes are faster, stronger, lighter, pack smaller, and offer better ride feel. That makes them perfect for our supple tires.
