Vittoria Air-liner Light Tubeless Gravel Tire Insert (700c x 42-50mm)

Vittoria Air-liner Light Tubeless Gravel Tire Insert Description:

Vittoria Air-liner Light Tubeless Gravel Tire Inserts are a very lightweight insert that provide extra peace of mind when riding over rugged terrain. The unique foam construction compresses against the sidewalls of the rim and tire when the tire is inflated which improves the sidewall’s stability and prevents the tire from burping during high speed corners. The shape of this insert tapers so it is wider than the rim which will provide excellent rim protection from impacts, and it will prevent the tire from pinching together to minimize the risk of getting a pinch flat. Perhaps the best thing this insert does is if a puncture occurs, the foam will expand out a bit which allows it to be used as a run-flat tire to get the rider somewhere where they can fix the flat tire or get a ride to safety.

Note: Sold individually, meaning each unit sold will consist of one (1) tubeless tire insert and one (1) tubeless valve.

Features:

• Lightweight tubeless tire insert that gives gravel racers and riders peace of mind when facing rugged race courses, roads, and trails
• Ultralight construction (Only 45 grams for 700c x 42-50mm version!) limits rotational mass, adds stability for the tire sidewalls, and still provides the smooth ride and excellent traction that pneumatic tires provide
• Prevents the rims from getting damaged due to harsh impacts from rugged trails and unexpected drops in the terrain
• If a puncture occurs the insert expands and will allow the rider to ride on the flat tire/insert to get to safety if the flat cannot be repaired
• For ease of inflation with insert and to minimize sealant clogging the valve, it is recommended to use tubeless valves with multiple holes in the base (the part of the valve inside of the rim)
• Optimized for use in rims with internal widths ranging from 23mm to 28mm wide
• Each insert will include one (1) 40mm Vittoria Multiway Tubeless Valve
