Maxxis Flyweight Tube

One of the lightest inner tubes

Super light tube and a must have if you are a big weight weenie fan. Durable can be an issue but that's to be expected from super thin light tube. Great place to save some weight on your bike. And not costing you an arm or a leg to do it.

Pros: Light, great from on road/smooth rides.

Cons: Puncture easy

nice light tube. I prefer them to the silicon tubes, good for a spare one, since it's small.

Definitely light, but not super durable (to be expected). I've used them in 24 hour races and they've held up the whole time, but they don't last on more rugged recreational rides.

Pros: Light, strong enough for smooth trails

Cons: Thin, but that's the point. PRICE

Crazy light tube

I use these tubes as my racing only replacement, or with a combination of a beefy strong tire with a good sidewall. Would not recommend for everyday use or with a super light racing tire. You will shred this tube apart.
Great for bringing down rotational weight.

Pros: maxxis quality.
Great for bringing down rotational weight.
Light weight as a backup in a camelback or jersey pocket

Cons: not intended for everyday use/riding.

I bought these when I was trying to save some weight anywhere I could. However, I was let down by these tubes as they are very prone to punctures. Both my front and rear only lasted a ride or two and for me that's not worth the savings in weight. I think I'll stick with the Q Standard tubes and spend my money elsewhere as these tubes are too expensive.

Pros: light weight

Cons: prone to punctures, way too expensive
