Bicycle care and accessories firm Muc-Off has released its all-new Tubeless Valves, building on the brand’s tubeless range.
‘Designed for riders to ‘stick-it’ to punctures, the new Tubeless Valves change the game once again. The fresh new line-up features aircraft grade aluminium for increased strength and reliability.’
The material upgrade sees the new valves weighing in at 2g lighter per pair than the previous model – a weight reduction of 17%. Muc-Off adds that, for the professional teams and athletes that use these valves, marginal gains mean the difference between winning and losing.
In addition to strength and weight improvements, the new Tubeless Valves also allow riders to take advantage of the puncture and rim damage-reducing benefits of tyre inserts. Tyre inserts are designed to be ‘tyre suspension’ for a rider’s wheel, to minimise damage to rims from sharp rocks or roots when taking on the gnarliest terrain.
‘Now with 6 slots machined into the base, there is increased air and sealant flow – good news for pinch-flat-prone downhill, enduro and gravel riders.’
“It’s rad to be once again building on our incredible tubeless range with the addition of the new Tubeless Valves,” said Alex Trimnell, CEO at Muc-Off.
“Being riders ourselves, we’ve seen first-hand the shift towards running inserts, so we knew we had to innovate again. Following the usual rigorous testing our team of in-house shredders are known for, we’ve developed an awesome product. I’m confident our customers are going to love the modifications.”
Like other products in the brand’s tubeless line-up, such as the Stealth Tubeless Puncture Plug, the new valves come in various colour options, so riders can customise their steeds with matching or contrasting bling.
Colours include black, green, blue, purple, pink, red, orange, gold, iridescent and silver – with ‘another two rad colours launching in the coming months.’
The valves also come in 44mm, 60mm and 80mm lengths.
Muc-Off adds that some of the best riders and teams in the world will be using the new valves this season, including Commencal / Muc-Off, Canyon Factory Racing, EF Education-NIPPO, INEOS Grenadiers and more.
Priced at £24.99, the valves available now from the Muc-Off global dealer network, select e-retailers and direct from muc-off.com.
