Pirelli SmarTUBE Scorpion 27.5" Presta valve tube

SmarTUBE: pure lightness

The SmarTUBE is Pirelli’s latest product in the world of tubes, as they continue to seek to improve performance in modern cycling. They are the result of Pirelli's development for World Tour tubulars, now made available for everyday rides with clinchers. Made from a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), it can save up to 70% more weight compared to a standard butyl tube and it takes up almost 50% less space in your pockets, while being stronger than butyl as a raw material. It is available in a comprehensive range of sizes that include Road, MTB and reinforced Gravel or Endurance versions. These tubes have two big benefits over butyl tubes: first of all they reduce the rotating mass where it counts the most, the wheels, making your bike quicker and more maneuvrable, to help improve your handling and climbing speed. In addition to that, they save space in your pockets and bags, so that you can carry more food and ride longer. Both if you chose them for their lightness or for their compact dimensions, the SmarTUBEs will provide puncture protection and high-end performance with comfort and style, thanks also to their iconic yellow Pirelli Racing color.

Scorpion™ SmarTUBE is the mountain bike specific inner tube that blends the innovative features of TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane), a specific formulation for the riders that are looking for the best balance between protection against punctures, weight and volume.

This is the perfect solution for marathon racers and trail and enduro riders that are looking for a lightweight, resistant and compact spare tube.

The Scorpion™ SmarTUBE is chosen everyday by Pirelli PRO athletes as a spare tube thanks to its low weight and compactness, they can easily store it in the back pocket or strap it around the frame. No matter if racing or just training, you can always bring a Scorpion™ SmarTUBE along.
