What Is It
The Ryder TPU Inner Tube 700x35–50C FV 60mm RV is a lightweight thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) inner tube designed for 700c wheels with wider tyres (35–50mm).
Compared to standard rubber (butyl) tubes, TPU tubes are:
- significantly lighter
- more compact when packed
- more puncture resistant
The 60mm Presta valve makes this version suitable for deeper-section rims, commonly found on gravel and road bikes with aero or performance wheelsets.

60mm Presta (FV) valve for deep rims
