For enhanced safety during early morning or evening rides, the integrated reflective sidewall dramatically increases your visibility to motorists, making you stand out in low-light situations.Revolutionary Inner Tube Technology for Ultimate Puncture ProtectionEvery cyclist dreads the inconvenience of a flat tyre. Punctures caused by perforation or pinch shocks (from hitting kerbs in the city or rocks on a trail) can ruin a ride. Repairing or changing an inner tube is not always a simple task, and conventional tubes require frequent re-inflation.MICHELIN has completely reimagined puncture prevention from the inside out. Because of its unique bumpy design, the MICHELIN Protek Max inner tube creates a compressive force if it is holed or pinched. This innovative reaction causes the hole to seal itself naturally, whereas a conventional inner tube would simply stretch and expand like a balloon, making the hole worse. This self-sealing effect is further accentuated by a sealing fluid added during the manufacturing process.Installation is also made simpler. Thanks to its square shape, the MICHELIN Protek Max inner tube positions itself naturally and correctly within the rim well and does not twist, a common frustration with completely tubular conventional tubes.This advanced system not only protects you from flats but also significantly reduces maintenance. As stated by MICHELIN: *La chambre à air MICHELIN Protek Max se gonfle deux fois moins souvent qu'une chambre à air classique MICHELIN AIRSTOP.* This translates to the MICHELIN Protek Max inner tube needing to be inflated half as often as a conventional MICHELIN AIRSTOP inner tube, keeping you on the road longer with less effort.Choose the MICHELIN Protek Max system for an unparalleled level of confidence and low-maintenance dependability for all your urban adventures.---Technical Specifications:* Recommended Use: Urban Cycling* Wheel Size: 26´´- 650C* Tyre Width: 1.4* ETRTO: 37 - 559* Type: Clincher* Bead: Rigid* Sidewall: Reflective Flank for increased visibility
