Thanks to its uneven design, the MICHELIN Protek Max inner tube undergoes a "compression" reaction in the event of piercing or nipping (the hole closes up naturally), whereas a classic inner tube has an "extension" reaction (balloon effect). This self-plugging effect is enhanced by adding the preventive sealant originally supplied.
It's the perfect complement to today's high-performance wheels and tyres. The Aircomp Latex weighs just 130 grams (C4 MTB version), making it one of the lightest tubes available. As with any high-performance product, latex tubes require regular maintenance; be sure to check your air pressure before every ride.
This inner tube is a great choice if you the type of person in a hurry or has limited time to fix a puncture.
