Inner tube 29" Continental TPU SV60 (40-622-60-622)

Founded in Germany, Continental has been producing bicycle tyres and inner tubes for more than a hundred years. The company develops its production technologies and uses selected materials. Its patented technologies include ProTection, Black Chilli, RaceSport, Vectran, PolyX, PureGrip Apex and Duraskin. Depending on the model, they help provide puncture resistance, better road performance or traction off-road. The range includes various tread patterns, valve types, sizes and uses, from children’s and BMX to road, city and mountain bike tyres and inner tubes. Special tyres for e-bikes and winter use are also available.

Continental’s seven-layer TPU inner tube is lightweight, compact and designed for performance-oriented gravel and MTB riders. ContiTPU is made from top-grade, micrometre-thick TPU formed into seven sealed layers to help maximise airtightness and durability. The tube is uncoloured to maintain high material quality and avoid dye-related surface imperfections that can cause air-retention issues. Every ContiTPU tube is checked after production. The base of the valve stem is slightly conical to improve its fit against the rim and reduce unwanted movement. The valve has an internal thread for a valve extension or a replacement valve core.
