   TPU significantly reduces the weight of the tube and supports low rolling resistance. This allows riders to benefit from direct power transfer and efficient handling.
3. New aluminum shaft
   The new aluminum shaft with external thread increases stability at the valve transition, ensuring a more robust construction and pleasant handling when inflating.
4. Compatible with Schwalbe Clik Valve
   The tube can be used with Schwalbe Clik Valve. This modern valve system allows for particularly easy connection between pump and valve.
