⚡ Revoloop Race & Race Ultra TPU Tubes
One goal: speed. Two ways to chase it.
TPU tubes reduce rolling resistance and cut rotational weight where it actually matters. Revoloop Race and Race Ultra share the same ultra-thin TPU construction, but are tuned for different riders and priorities.
⚖️ Actual Weights
- Revoloop Race: ~39g (road)
- Revoloop Race Ultra: ~25g (road)
That’s a saving of up to 150g per wheelset compared to standard butyl tubes.
🧭 Decision Clarity
Choose based on how you ride — not what sounds impressive.
Revoloop Race is the smart upgrade from butyl: lighter, faster, and robust enough for everyday riding, training, and long events.
Revoloop Race Ultra is built for riders chasing the lightest possible setup — race day, hill climbs, and no-compromise builds.
If you hesitate for more than a few seconds, you’re a Race rider.
⚖️ Feel the Weight Fall Away
TPU tubes dramatically reduce rotating mass. The result is quicker acceleration, easier climbing, and a sharper, more responsive feel the moment you spin the wheels.
💨 Ride Sharper, Roll Faster
Lower rolling resistance and more consistent pressure give a smoother, crisper ride than butyl or latex. The bike holds momentum better and feels more precise through corners.
🔧 Performance, Made Practical
Both Race and Race Ultra are fully compatible with Revoloop repair kits, making them easy to live with for events, travel, and race-day use. Lightweight, compact, and designed specifically for TPU.
🧠 Setup Checklist
TPU tubes reward clean installs. Take a moment and do it once, properly:
- Lightly inflate the tube before fitting
- Ensure rim tape is smooth and fully covers spoke holes
- Use plastic tyre levers only
- Check the tube isn’t trapped under the bead
- Inflate gradually while inspecting both sides
🧠 FAQs
❓ What do they actually weigh?
Revoloop Race: approximately 39g per tube.
Revoloop Race Ultra: approximately 25g per tube.
Listed weights are for standard road sizes. Minor variation is normal and has no impact on ride feel or performance.
❓ Which one should I choose?
Choose Race for everyday speed, training, and reliability.
Choose Race Ultra if you’re prioritising minimum weight for racing or hill climbs.
❓ Are TPU tubes suitable for everyday riding?
Yes. Revoloop Race is ideal for regular use. Race Ultra can also be used daily, but is best suited to riders who are comfortable with lightweight performance equipment.
❓ How much weight will I save?
Compared to a standard butyl tube (~100g), you can save up to 150g per wheelset, improving acceleration and climbing feel immediately.
❓ Are they easy to install?
Yes — just take your time. TPU stretches differently to butyl. A careful install ensures excellent shape retention and ride quality.
❓ Can they be repaired?
Absolutely. Revoloop repair kits are designed specifically for TPU and provide a clean, reliable fix that’s ideal for events and travel.
❓ Tyre and wheel compatibility?
Compatible with road clincher and tubeless-ready tyres (approx. 23–32mm). Presta valve only — match valve length to your rim depth.
