Vittoria Air-Liner Protect Enduro Tyre Insert for Tubeless Mountain Bikes

Experience ultimate peace of mind on every ride with the Vittoria Air-Liner Tyre Insert Protect Enduro, designed to elevate your mountain biking performance while safeguarding your wheels. Crafted with high-density polymer foam, this innovative insert acts as a durable shield between your rim and tyre, significantly reducing the risk of punctures, sidewall damage, and pinch flats. Whether you’re tackling rugged trails or steep descents, Air-Liner Protect ensures your tyres stay secure and intact, allowing you to push your limits fearlessly.

The Air-Liner Protect features a unique "T" shape design that enhances shock absorption and improves lateral tyre stability, providing better handling and bead retention without increasing rolling resistance. This means you get a smooth, efficient ride that doesn’t compromise on protection or control. Available in sizes tailored specifically for 27.5" and 29" enduro wheels with tyre widths from 2.4" to 2.6", it fits rims between 25mm and 35mm wide, making it a versatile addition to your biking gear.

Designed with the demands of enduro riders in mind, the Air-Liner Protect Enduro version uses a lighter density foam that balances optimal shock absorption with nimble handling. Plus, the insert comes as a complete loop, eliminating the hassle of cutting and zipping, and is fully compatible with tubeless setups using multiway tubeless valves. Whether you're upgrading your current setup or protecting your wheels for the first time, Vittoria’s Air-Liner Protect is the essential choice for riders who refuse to compromise.
