Trying to enhance on their current Air-Liner MTB, Vittoria has utterly revised the form of their tire insert. Vittoria wished to supply a particular insert for extra aggressive using together with Enduro and DH, however in addition they wish to enhance the trip feeling, stage of rim safety, lower the burden, improve the air quantity and lateral stability, all whereas lowering the rolling resistance, and make it simpler to put in. Whew.
To get there, the brand new tire inserts have moved to a ‘T’ form which is seemingly now a European patented form profile. It’s not fairly the ‘Y’ form of the Air-Liner Gentle, however when the tire is inflated it seems that the wings of the ‘T’ bend upwards, probably placing strain on the facet wall for added stability. The T-Form helps the tire line enhance on almost every part listed above – it additionally is available in one steady loop, as an alternative of a straight line that it’s a must to zip tie collectively contained in the tire just like the previous one.
Whereas each the Enduro and DH inserts are the identical dimension, the Enduro insert will get a decrease density foam with sooner rebound and decrease compression. The DH insert will get the next density foam for slower rebound and better compression for higher rim safety.
Accessible in both 27.5 or 29″ diameters, all the inserts are E-bike accredited, and promote for $69.99 per insert with a multiway tubeless valve included.
