Tannus Armour (For Inner Tube)

 
 

 
 

Tannus Armour has been developed with our patented Aither technology. A multi-cell foam compound that is lightweight, flexible yet incredibly durable. Aither is the culmination of 10 years of Tannus development within the tyre industry Tannus Armour is a foam insert that sits between your inner tube and tyre, providing an additional layer of protection against 4 main types of damage.

SHARP OBJECTS | SIDEWALL TEARS | RIM STRIKES | PINCH FLATS VIBRATION DAMPENING

The Armour very noticeably absorbs a huge amount of the vibration from the ground (eg. rock strikes) and dissipates the energy evenly in the tube. The result is a much smoother, quieter, more comfortable and compliant ride.

LOWER PSI - The Armours near 360° bead-to-bead, protection gives sidewall structure to the tyre, allowing us to ride at much lower pressures without the tyre deforming and becoming slow and difficult to handle.

PUNCTURE PROTECTION - Armour eliminates 90% of all punctures due to its reinforced sidewall and underside protection.

INCREASED GRIP - Run at lower pressures for increased grip in wet conditions and loose rock.

INCREASED COMFORT - Armour absorbs vibration for a smoother, more comfortable ride.

RUN FLAT - If you do get a flat tyre you can still ride for a limited period at up to 6mph without damaging your wheel.

FAST ROLLING - Engineered to minimise rolling-resistance (drag), Tannus Armour provides the ultimate balance of speed and protection.

EASY INSTALLATION - Installing the Armour is as quick and easy as installing a regular tyre and is maintenance free.

3. STILL RIDE HOME

If your tyre does go flat for some reason, you can still cycle home with a flat tyre without damaging your rim.


 

ARMOUR FAQs

 

 

WHAT IS ARMOUR MADE FROM?

We engineered our own patented foam compound called "Aither". With over 13 years of experience in the foam industry, Aither is the best there is.

 

HOW DO I CHOOSE THE SIZE?

You simply go by the markings on your current tyre eg. 27.5 x 2.25

 

DO THEY AFFECT PERFORMANCE?

Not at all. In many cases the Armour will actually improve your performance. 

 

HOW DOES IT INCREASE PERFORMANCE?

You can run lower pressures which will give you more grip. The getter you grip to the surface, the easier it is to stay on course and hit those corners with more speed.

 

HOW LONG DO THEY LAST?

A long time! We say around 5000 miles as a benchmark but some of our riders have crossed multiple continents. 

 

DO I NEED A SMALLER TUBE?

Yes! Don't worry, when you select your tyre size, we will tell you which inner tube size you will need. It is always a size DOWN from normal. This is because the Armour takes up some of the room inside your tyre.

 

WHAT PRESSURE SHOULD I USE?

Some of our riders go as low as 14 PSI whilst still holding the tyre shape. As a rule of thumb, drop 5-10 psi and see how it feels. You can always adjust.

 

DO I NEED TO TRIM THE ARMOUR?

Certain sizes need to be trimmed so there is no excess material, but don't worry, it is clearly labeled on the box and in the description which sizes need trimming

 

ARE THEY DIFFICULT TO INSTALL

No. They instal just like a regular inner tube.
