2021 Tubolito X-Tubo City-Tour inner tube - 4.jpegTubolito unveils ‘unpuncturable’ inner tube with one year warranty against flats
Tubolito has released a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) inner tube called the X_Tubo City/Tour that comes with a one year warranty against flats. If it punctures within that period you get a free replacement.
“The X-Tubo is… designed to withstand everything the city and touring rider can throw at it,” says Tubolito.
“The new, even more resistant material makes punctures impossible during normal use.

The X-Tubo City/Tour is said to resist nails, broken glass and thorns, and Tubolito has produced a video to support its claims, and it certainly looks impressive.
You just need to register the product within a month of purchase to get a year’s warranty against all flats.

The Tubolito X-Tubo City/Tour is designed for 700C wheels, comes in Presta (130g) and Schrader (139g) versions, and is suitable for tyres from 30mm to 50mm wide – meaning that you could even use it on a lot of road bikes. Each is priced at £22.99. That's considerably more than a standard butyl inner tube, of course, but if it stops you fixing a flat by the side of the road on a wet November evening...

You'd never be able to get exactly the same conditions for both sets of tyres
Doesn't matter, because of the astounding claims. As far as I'm concerned, I'm not going tubeless so I don't need that test.
