SILCA has partnered with Vittoria to create the highest quality, lowest rolling resistance, finest riding inner tube, sized for modern clincher tire setups
Parts covered by SILCA Limited Warranty are considered to be subject to wear through normal use or are consumable subject to degradation through the course of their daily use. SILCA guarantees them free from manufacturer defects for 2 years.
Compared to standard butyl rubber bicycle inner tubes, latex tubes are considerably more elastic (10x elongation compared to 2-3x). More importantly, Latex Rubber has significantly lower coefficient of damping which means that when latex rubber is stretched or flexed, it returns to shape faster and with less energy loss.
What does this mean for an inner tube? Latex inner tubes are generally 2-5 Watts (per tire) more efficient at 30mph than tubes made of other materials. They are harder to pinch-flat and offer superior ride quality, especially when combined with supple, low rolling resistance tires. This tube has been sized to fit tires measuring 24-30mm, which will equate to 23-28mm tires used on modern wider rims. Valve stem length is 42mm and will work in all modern disc wheels.
So why did Josh call this the 'Biggest Bang For Your Buck'?

Free watts
The bike settles into the smallest cracks at rest and flies on the road. These tubes have low hysteresis! No lock nuts (maybe will go for the speed shield next time).

SILCA Latex Inner Tube
It´s a great product. You really feel the lightweight since the first ride, but unfortunately, it punctured in the 4th ride.

Great tubes
These were a breeze to install. They feel great while riding but since the cost is high compared to cheap tubes they will be for the summer wheels only.

Very good but at a price
Very good, but very expensive, especially compared to Vittoria who make them. That said the valve extender and windshield are good additions and can be reused so a bit of an investment
