Schwalbe Aerothan Tube – 700×28-35, Presta 60 mm (52g)

The Schwalbe Aerothan Tube – 700×23–28 is one of the easiest and most effective upgrades you can make to a road bike to reduce rolling resistance and rotating weight. At just 41 g, it delivers a faster, more responsive ride feel compared to standard butyl tubes without the complexity of going tubeless.

Compared to a typical butyl tube (~100–120 g), the Aerothan tube saves 60–80 g per wheel while offering lower rolling resistance and more consistent air retention.

Made from Aerothan TPU material, this tube rolls more efficiently than traditional butyl and holds pressure well over time. The performance benefit is immediate and noticeable on pavement and fast all-road riding.

• Size: 700×23–28 mm
• Valve Type: Presta, 40 mm
• Material: Aerothan TPU
• Weight: 41 g
• Use: Road and fast all-road riding

 Aerothan tubes also pack down extremely small, making them an excellent spare tube option. They take up very little space in a jersey pocket, saddle bag, or handlebar bag while still offering the same weight and rolling-resistance advantages as your primary tube.

At Colorado Carbon Bicycles, we include this tube in our Road collection because it’s a straightforward upgrade that delivers real performance gains — lighter weight, faster rolling, and easier carrying than standard butyl tubes.
