The Pirelli Cinturato Smartube is a high-performance TPU inner tube built for cyclists who venture beyond sealed roads. Weighing just 70 grams, it offers a lightweight, compact, and durable solution that outperforms traditional butyl tubes in both puncture resistance and packability.

Designed with adventure in mind, this tube is made from Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU), a material known for its strength and efficiency. Whether you’re bikepacking through the outback, commuting daily, or preparing for a gravel event, the Cinturato Smartube helps free up space for essentials like water, snacks, and clothing—without compromising on reliability.

Who is this for?

Riders exploring long distances, remote areas, or rough terrain who want dependable puncture resistance without the weight penalty. Ideal for road, gravel, endurance, bikepacking and commuting setups using 700 x 28–35c tyres.

Who is this not for?

Those riding tubeless exclusively, or road cyclists who prefer the even lighter P Zero Smartube designed specifically for speed and racing scenarios. It’s also not the best choice if you’re on a tight budget and prone to regularly replacing tubes.

Why we love it

It’s tough, light, and packs down small—three qualities that are hard to beat in a spare tube. We keep one in every adventure kit because space matters, and few tubes offer this level of protection at this weight. Bonus: it’s suitable for both rim and disc brake bikes.
