Description
Durable Puncture-Resistance and Weight-Savings You Can Feel on Race Day
The Continental Race Light Road Tube is Continental's lightest non-latex offering, making it ideal for those of us who compete in longer races and are looking for a moderate amount of puncture protection. If you're running high-end clinchers on lightweight wheels, the Continental Race Light Tube completes the trifecta.
Continental's Race Light Road Tubes are a few grams lighter than their standard Race tubes but a bit more durable than the even lighter Race Supersonic.

Reviews
I've been running these tubes for a few years now and I've had zero issues.
There's a reason I keep using them. I used them on my old bike and liked them so much that when I started running tubes again on my new ride I bought these specific tubes.
When I upgraded to conti 4000 SII a number of years ago, I also started riding w these tubes. They had great reviews and they did not disappoint. I've been buying these tubes ever since and have never had an issue, even after upgrading to conti 5000s a couple seasons ago. Still running that setup. Don't plan on changing.
I bought these tubes to use in my first triathlon. They arrived the day before the race. I installed them, but one of the tubes would not hold air. I discovered a tiny hole in that brand new tube. I left the other tube installed, but the next morning I noticed the tire was flat. After removal, I found a 1 inch long split in the rubber. Fortunately, there was enough time to install standard weight Kenda tubes prior to my race. I e-mailed Western Bike Works (WBW) the next day to notify them of the faulty tubes. They gave me a prompt refund of the cost of the tubes, so kudos to WBW. Excellent customer service!
A quality light-weight tube. Does what it should. Not stupid expensive.
The only potential negatives to me are the price and the box size. The Vittoria tube is very similar, cheaper, and comes in a small enough package to fit in your jersey pocket.
While not the lightest tube, the Race Light, has the advantages of weighing less than standard tubes, and, this is crucial, seems to hold air pressure as well as or better than standard tubes.
Works great as a spare or main tire. I like using latex tubes for racings but these are my go-to spare because they are a bit more durable and can withstand some knocking about in the saddlebag or jersey pocket.
