Michelin Offroad Tube Item # 197458
Description
Michelin tubes are made with 100% butyl rubber, renowned for their ability to maintain air pressure over long periods of time. Butyl is also highly resistant to wear, friction and easily repaired. Unlike inexpensive tubes, which are made from straight sections of rubber tube formed into a circle, Michelin tubes are manufactured and cured in a circular mold. This method reduces tension on the tube when inflated and diminishes the likelihood of pinch flats. Michelin tubes are available in a wide array of sizes. Each size is designed for only a few specific applications, so that the tube and tire match perfectly without placing undue stress on the tube.

Very HD / thick tube
I just installed one of these on a 21" front wheel. I also ordered a cheaper, different brand UHD tube. The Michelin tubes were more expensive, but are literally double the thickness of the other UHD tube. I don't see how you could ever get a pinch flat with these - if you want ultra heavy duty, these Michelin tubes are the way to go.

Will not buy again
I did 27h with this tube (rear wheel) (100% enduro, no Mx). Did 5 races of 2h with it and the rest is trail riding in the forest and having fun with friends. The tube started to deformed and pushed on the sidewalls of my tire making my whole wheel wobble. From what i understand, the michelin tube are not made from natural rubber and are prone to deforme. Pretty sad to know that last year i raced 7 times + pratice with my original Dunlop tube without any incident. I will buy another brand now. (i am not a hardcore rider, amateur/intermediat).

Tougher than nails!
Ib have now gone through two sets of tires, D606R and a Trakmaster2, R/F. One rim lock per wheel. Used on my 2019 Honda CRF450L.(have used on another bike, as well) Aired down to 8lb/12 lb, R/F when off road. (Gravel roads are NOT off road?) Also used them to ride on paved/gravel roads, without issue, with 16/16 lbs. of air. They still look good. Never had a flat, pinched tube or damaged rim. Was told to NOT ride on any road while aired down. Will run too hot and rupture! Also, due to the thick 4 mm tube, it doesn't take a lot of air to air up and down. A worthwhile addition to my bikes.

Is occasional highway use ok for these tubes? Say, 300 km at 100kph?
Yes, this inner tub is designed to handle some rough terrain, it's fine for highway use.
Date published: 2023-08-22
Is this suitable for dual sport use? Up to 120-130km/h?
Yes. The 4 mm UHD tubes allow me to air down for off road use. But, I always reinflate my tires for road usage, gravel or pavement.
