IS THIS STILL A BICYCLE TUBE?
During the development of Aerothan Tubes, we have explored new avenues
right from the beginning. The result was a high-end alternative to
conventional bicycle tubes. The next generation Aerothan tube
sets new standards for weight, puncture protection, riding characteristics, easy installation and
packing dimensions. Specifically made for
road bikes, MTBs and all-round purposes.
AEROTHAN TUBE
THE FACTS
Item 20E. For bicylce tires in 28" inch (ETRTO 23/28-622).
For road riding with tubes, the Aerothan tube is the first choice. It offers low rolling resistance with dynamic, smooth riding characteristics. Compared to butyl tubes, a total weight reduction of 100 g may be achieved for the entire bike. Aerothan Tube Race offers not only reliable puncture protection, but also safety when descending a mountain: Even when several emergency brakes are applied with rim brakes in short sequence, one can count on its heat resistance capacities.
Aerothan tubes consist of 100% thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), including the valve, and are therefore fully recyclable.
Item 17E. For bicylce tires in 28" inch (ETRTO 37/50-622).
The Aerothan Tube Allround is the extremely light and absolutely reliable high-end tube for urban cycling and touring. Compared to Schwalbe standard tubes, it reduces a bicycle’s weight by about 180 g – this, in combination with low rolling resistance, makes cycling even more enjoyable. Cyclists on long nature rides can rely on excellent puncture protection. Even without remembering to use a pump before a ride, the Aerothan Tube Allround can handle it: Also, at low air pressures, it maintains shape and ensures a safe ride on the trail.
Aerothan tubes consist of 100% thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), including the valve, and are therefore fully recyclable.
Item 19E. For bicylce tires in 29" inch (ETRTO 54/62-622).
The Aerothan Tube MTB is just as resistant to snake bites as it is to side wall damage – thanks to the extremely robust material. In cross-country and marathon, a surprisingly low weight and low rolling resistance are great advantages. Even on challenging trails, this tube never gives up on you: Thanks to the exceptional form stability of the Aerothan Tube MTB, even at low air pressures, you always keep control of your bike.

Item 16E. For bicylce tires in 28" inch (ETRTO 28/35-622).
For road riding with tubes, the Aerothan tube is the first choice. It offers low rolling resistance with dynamic, smooth riding characteristics. Compared to butyl tubes, a total weight reduction of 100 g may be achieved for the entire bike. Aerothan Tube Race offers not only reliable puncture protection, but also safety when descending a mountain: Even when several emergency brakes are applied with rim brakes in short sequence, one can count on its heat resistance capacities.

Item 21E. For bicylce tires in 27.5" inch (ETRTO 54/62-584).
The Aerothan Tube MTB is just as resistant to snake bites as it is to side wall damage – thanks to the extremely robust material. In cross-country and marathon, a surprisingly low weight and low rolling resistance are great advantages. Even on challenging trails, this tube never gives up on you: Thanks to the exceptional form stability of the Aerothan Tube MTB, even at low air pressures, you always keep control of your bike.

Item 13E. For bicylce tires in 26" inch (ETRTO 54/62-559).
The Aerothan Tube MTB is just as resistant to snake bites as it is to side wall damage – thanks to the extremely robust material. In cross-country and marathon, a surprisingly low weight and low rolling resistance are great advantages. Even on challenging trails, this tube never gives up on you: Thanks to the exceptional form stability of the Aerothan Tube MTB, even at low air pressures, you always keep control of your bike.

ADVANTAGES OF AEROTHAN TUBES
Fully light-weight, right to the valve - about 40% less weight than a comparable Schwalbe extra light tube
Puncture protection newly defined - the material itself prevents sudden air loss
Minimal rolling resistance - maximum riding dynamics
Extremely heat resistant - certified for rim brakes
A stable ride - even with low air pressures
Easy installation - without slipping or pinching
Made in Germany
100% recyclable
AEROTHAN IS 100% RECYCLABLE
Aerothan tubes consist of 100% thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU),
including the valve, and are therefore fully recyclable.
Like all Schwalbe tubes, Aerothan tubes
may be returned to Schwalbe at no cost
using the tube recycling programme. The material of used
tubes is recycled to make sealing or
insulation material.
DEVELOPMENT
AEROTHAN. THE WONDER MATERIAL FROM THE SCHWALBE INNOVATION HUB.
Schwalbe aims to offer the ideal product for every cyclist. In terms of high-end bicycle tubes, this is an exciting challenge. The engineers had to combine seemingly opposing features, lowest weight and highest puncture protection. This is a case for the Schwalbe innovation hub, where material compositions and construction principles are redesigned to make entirely new products. Developed in cooperation with BASF and with experts from the German plastic manufacturing industry, the Aerothan tube emerged to not only meet all the requirements of a high-end bicycle tube, but to exceed them.
