Schwalbe SV15-AE 700c Aerothan Presta Inner Tube

The Schwalbe SV15-AE 700c Aerothan Inner Tube is a lightweight road tube built for low rolling resistance, strong puncture protection, and reliable pressure control. Made from 100% thermoplastic polyurethane, including the valve, it is around 40% lighter than Schwalbe Extralight butyl tubes. It also offers tubeless-level rolling resistance, high heat resistance, and full recyclability through the Schwalbe tube recycling programme.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Aerothan TPU construction: The tube is made from thermoplastic polyurethane, which gives it a very low weight while keeping strong material strength. This helps reduce rotating mass, so the bike feels more efficient with less wasted effort.
• Around 40% lighter than Schwalbe Extralight butyl tubes: The reduced weight helps improve acceleration and handling. This is useful on road bikes where small weight savings can make the bike feel sharper and more responsive.
• Low rolling resistance at tubeless levels: The Aerothan material reduces energy loss as the tyre rolls. This helps you hold speed with less effort, giving a smoother and more efficient ride on the road.
• High puncture resistance: The TPU material gives strong protection against flats while staying light. This helps reduce the risk of ride-stopping punctures without the extra weight of a standard reinforced tube.
• Stable ride at low air pressures: Aerothan tubes can be run at pressures based on tubeless system guidance, while still offering stable handling. This can improve grip and comfort without making the bike feel vague or slow.
• Fully recyclable tube and valve: The tube and valve are made from 100% TPU and can be returned through Schwalbe’s recycling programme. Used tubes are recycled into sealing or insulation material, which helps cut waste.

This tube is suited to riders who want lower weight, better efficiency, and strong flat protection without moving to a full tubeless set-up. Its heat-resistant TPU build, easy fitting, and stable feel at lower pressures make it a practical upgrade for road use. For repairs, use Schwalbe Glueless Patches only, as classic patches do not bond to TPU.

Choose the Schwalbe SV15-AE 700c Aerothan Inner Tube for a lighter, faster-rolling, and more efficient road tube with strong puncture protection and recyclable construction.
