Aircomp Latex MTB

Victory is in the air

Endurance and performance
The natural elasticity of Aircomp Latex tubes can actually improve efficiency by reducing rolling resistance. Latex has a remarkably high modulus of elongation (700%!), giving it outstanding resistance to punctures and pinch flats. It's the perfect complement to today's high-performance wheels and tyres. The Aircomp Latex weighs just 130 grams (C4 MTB version), making it one of the lightest tubes available. As with any high-performance product, latex tubes require regular maintenance; be sure to check your air pressure before every ride.
 
Aircomp Ultra-light MTB

The lightweight weapon

Weight is every racer's enemy. A few grams can mean the difference between winning and losing. Now professionals and amateurs alike can ride with our remarkably light "Service Course" tubes. Light weight and Michelin quality are a formidable combination.
 
Airstop Butyl

Simplify your life

The Airstop Butyl range of tubes fulfills the needs of everyday cyclists for an economical, high-quality tube. It features good puncture resistance and an excellent price/quality ratio that's backed up by the impeccable reputation of Michelin.
 
AIR+

The no-worry tube

With the Air+ tube, you need to inflate your tyres only every six months (maintaining a pressure between 3.9 and 2 bars). Thanks to a proprietary material containing silica and titanium - a Michelin exclusive - the Air+ is three times more airtight than an Airstop Butyl tube of the same size.
Safe and sound
Engineered for urban use, touring and leisure riding, the Air+ uses a 1.2mm wall thickness (versus 0.9mm for standard tubes), making it particularly resistant to punctures. Its distinctive gray color also gives it a unique appearance.

 
DH Racing

World Champion

Before going into production, the Michelin DH Racing tube underwent several years of development in international downhill competition, ultimately winning the world championship. After withstanding the most demanding conditions in every corner of the globe, there was no doubt as to its strength. With a larger air volume and 33% greater wall thickness than a standard tube (1.2 mm versus 0.9 mm), there’s no substitute for a genuine Michelin DH Racing tube.
