A Compact, Lightweight Tube Designed For MTBs
The Scorpion SmarTUBE is a mountain bike-specific inner tube that blends the innovative features of TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) — a specific formulation for the riders looking for the best balance between puncture protection, weight, and volume.

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

The folded-up volume of the SmarTUBE is up to 50% less than an equivalent butyl tube
Made of TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane)
