Tubolito Tubo TPU

Ultralight Performance. Revolutionary Strength.

The Tubolito Tubo is a marvel of material science. While a standard road tube weighs in at around 100g, the Tubo tips the scales at a staggering 38g. This reduces rotating mass exactly where it matters most; at the outer edge of your wheel; leading to faster acceleration and more responsive handling. Despite its featherweight profile, the TPU material offers double the puncture resistance of a traditional tube in needle-poke tests.

Why the Tubo is a Game-Changer:

• Extreme Weight Savings: Shaving 60g+ per wheel is one of the most cost-effective ways to lower your bike’s overall weight. It’s the easiest "marginal gain" available to any road cyclist.

• Superior Puncture Protection: The thermoplastic construction is incredibly tough and elastic, providing enhanced defense against flats while maintaining a supple, low-rolling-resistance ride feel.

• Ultimate Space Saver: When rolled up, a Tubolito is roughly 50% smaller than a standard tube. It frees up massive amounts of room in your saddle bag or jersey pocket, making it the perfect "emergency" spare.

• Disc Brake Compatible: While some TPU tubes struggle with heat, the Tubo Road is specifically designed to handle the demands of modern disc-brake road bikes (Note: Not for use with rim brakes unless using the specific "S-Tubo" variant).

• Available in Multiple Valve Lengths: Whether you’re running shallow training wheels or deep-section aero rims like the Reserve 42|49, Tubolito offers 42mm, 60mm, and 80mm valve options to suit your setup.

• Vibrant Signature Aesthetics: The iconic orange colour and sleek valve design add a touch of high-tech flair to your wheelset.

The Alegro Perspective: In the shop, we call these "The Pocket Miracle." For our racers, putting these in is like getting a brand-new wheelset for a fraction of the price. The difference in "spin-up" speed is genuinely noticeable. Even if you aren't a weight-weenie, the fact that you can fit two of these in the space of one rubber tube makes them the smartest choice for long-distance endurance riders who want to be prepared without the bulk.
