Vittoria's Ultra Light Speed hoses are made from thermoplastic
polyurethane. In addition to being fully recyclable, this material
also offers excellent technical properties; it is resistant from
-47°C to +100°C. It can be uniformly extruded in very thin
thicknesses. It has good elasticity and is completely airtight, so
the air pressure inside can be kept constant for a long time. It is
puncture resistant and in the event of a puncture, the airflow is
slower compared to butyl and latex, resulting in increased
safety.
To achieve the incredible lightness of 30g and greater puncture
resistance than butyl tubing, Ultra Light Speed are manufactured
using multi-layer co-extrusion technology and are 0.35mm thick.
This makes them extremely thin compared to butyl tubes, which are
usually 1 mm thick. Welding is done using high frequency
technology.
