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.

Great tube
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.

Worth every penny.
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.

Ok, but stem lengths vary
They are good tubes & decent quality. Oddly, the stem lengths vary up to 5mm. If this matters, suggest you account for it.

I was running Specialized thin tubes. Put these on and what a difference! I almost thought my tire was going flat they were so much more forgiving. Great tube. I'm sold.

My Everyday Tube For Years
by aharmon

Been using these consistently for years. The quality out of the box is reliable - didn't find that to be the case with others. When bought in quantity on sale, the price premium is negligible.

Great tube for the price.

I like lighter tubes and I run wider tires on my road bike. I have had trouble with latex tubes, so I stick to the regular rubber tubes. I just don't have any issues with these tubes and their reliability.

Best light weight tube
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.

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!

Nice light tube
by JBH

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.

Fair price, high quality tube
At first I worried about puncture risk given light weight, but have had no problems. Quality tube at a good price.
