Vittoria Air-Liner Protect Enduro 29x2.4-2.6

The Vittoria Air-Liner Protect Enduro 29” is a high-performance tubeless tyre insert developed for aggressive trail and enduro riding. Designed to protect your rims and improve control, it allows you to ride harder with lower tyre pressures and greater confidence on rough terrain.

Constructed from low-density expanded foam, the insert absorbs impacts and creates a protective barrier between your rim and tyre. Its closed-loop design eliminates the need for cutting or joining, making installation cleaner (though still tight, as with most inserts). It’s fully compatible with tubeless sealant and must be used with tubeless setups only.

Beyond protection, the insert enhances tyre stability—supporting the sidewalls in corners and reducing the risk of burping or pinch flats on technical trails.
