The Schwalbe Extra Light tube is a butyl inner tube for 700c road wheels, covering tire widths from 23 to 28mm. Its distinction over Schwalbe's standard tube is reduced weight, achieved through thinner butyl walls while maintaining the same reliability standard. Each tube is factory-inflated for 24 hours and checked for air retention before leaving production.
Schwalbe's butyl compound is produced with close attention to material purity, resulting in a tube that holds air pressure longer than comparable models. The elastic construction follows Schwalbe's group tube approach, fitting a range of tire sizes within its rated width window. The tube is 100% recyclable, with each new unit containing approximately 20% recycled butyl material.
