Michelin Protek Max Tube

The Protek Max features a compression-based structure rather than a traditional smooth surface. When a puncture occurs, this unique design naturally compresses and seals around the hole, preventing air from escaping without the need for liquid sealants.

This tube is designed specifically for 29-inch wheels with a tire width between 2.40 and 3.00 inches. Please check your tire sidewall to confirm your current width falls within this range before purchasing.

Yes, the Presta valve core is removable. This makes it easy to add liquid sealant if you choose to use it, or to attach valve extenders if your rims require them.

At 430g, this tube is heavier because of its reinforced, puncture-resistant construction. You are trading a bit of weight for significantly better protection against thorns and pinch flats, which is ideal for demanding terrain.

No, the Protek Max is engineered to hold air much longer than standard tubes. While you should still perform a quick pressure check before every ride, you will find yourself reaching for the pump far less frequently.
