Vittoria presents Air-Liner, the ultimate tire accessory for mountain bike tires. Air-Liner is a foam-based tubular insert for tubeless tires designed to protect the rim, enhance grip and prevent punctures.
This technical foam is made up by a new-generation polymer, and the entire tube comes through coring process. Differently from printing and extrusion – cheaper production processes used for equivalent products available in the market – coring does not alter the chemical structure of the polymer. As a matter of fact, the added value of air-liner lays in its high-quality production process.
Air-liner can be used on both standard wheels and tubeless-ready wheels, with both tubeless and tubeless-ready tires, and with any type of sealant – preferably without ammonia. In addition, it fits any type of valve for tubeless.
Although air-liner polymer is slightly dense, it is very resistant. This particular structure provides the insert with light weight without compromising on resistance and duration: air-liner weight goes from 0.4 lbs to 0.5 lbs according to the size, and the product life cycle is 2,000 hours in normal conditions or one-hour run flat – calculation based on a rider of 176.4 lbs of weight.
Air-Liner is designed considering all the demands of each mountain bike discipline.
