Rene Herse TPU Tubes

The Rene Herse TPU Tubes bring next-level performance to classic inner tubes by combining ultra-light thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) construction with premium German engineering. Designed for riders who want a fast, compact, and highly efficient tube for road, gravel, or adventure bikes, these TPU tubes deliver performance that rivals tubeless setups — without the mess of sealant and frequent top-ups.

Made from thermoplastic polyurethane, René Herse tubes are significantly lighter and smaller than traditional butyl tubes, making them ideal for racing, lightweight builds, or as a compact spare on long rides. The advanced material offers excellent air retention, low rolling resistance, and superior ride quality, giving you a quicker, more responsive feel on pavement or gravel.

A highlight of these tubes is the patented all-metal Presta valve system — unlike many other TPU tubes that use plastic valve stems — which reduces the risk of leaks and improves reliability under pressure.

Key Features

• Ultra-light TPU construction — dramatic weight savings over butyl tubes
• Compact pack size — great as a lightweight spare or fast-rolling setup
• All-metal Presta valve — improved sealing and long-term reliability
• Smooth valve stem — easier pump attachment (push-on or threaded hoses)
• High puncture & pinch-flat resistance thanks to slightly thicker walls
• Made in Germany with premium quality and precision
• Wide range of sizes, including 700C and 650B options

Ideal For

• Performance road and gravel riders
