What are the benefits of a tubeless tyre?

Tubeless tyres are simply tyres without an inner tube. Punctures are less common with tubeless tyres, as the inner tube is replaced with a latex sealant. The sealant is applied through the valve to help repair any holes where punctures could occur.

Using a tubeless tyre will help to massively reduce the chances of getting a flat tyre whilst out riding. Many punctures will heal themselves as the sealant inside the tyre will seal the hole extremely quickly. If your puncture won’t self-heal, it will be easy to fix by inserting a tube or using a tyre plug.

Tubeless tyres have a lower tyre pressure than normal tyres, which results in a smoother and more comfortable ride. Riding with tubeless tyres will also reduce resistance, as the tyres can absorb the impact whenever you hit a bump.

Tubeless tyres are often more expensive than normal bike tyres, and fitting a tubeless tyre is often more time-consuming. If the tyre bead becomes damaged and begins to pull away from the rim after a sudden impact, air and sealant could break out. If the sealant in the tyre begins to coagulate, it must be topped up.

If you’re looking for a change and want to try out a tubeless tyre, the Schwalbe Pro One tubeless tyre is a great choice. Explore the full range of Schwalbe tubeless tyres to find the perfect fit.
