Ryder TPU Inner Tube 29x2.1–2.4 FV 48mm RV
What Is It
The Ryder TPU Inner Tube 29x2.1–2.4 FV 48mm RV is a lightweight mountain bike inner tube made from TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane), designed for 29-inch wheels running wider MTB tyres (2.1” to 2.4”).
It replaces standard butyl rubber tubes with a much lighter, more compact, and more puncture-resistant option, making it popular for XC, trail, and marathon MTB riders.
The 48mm Presta valve suits most standard MTB rims.
