The puncture solution for road tires
Tested on trails and perfected on tarmac, the Air-Liner Road brings the stability, plush comfort, and puncture protection of the proven Air-Liner design to bear on chip seal and potholes. The weight is also very suited for roadies – it weighs less than the sealant needed to mount the tire. The Air-Liner Road’s high-density polymer compresses under the higher PSI of road tires, so it lets the tire’s casing and compound maintain their supple feel and responsiveness while the tire’s inflated. In the event of a puncture, the Air-Liner road expands to fill the void, keeping the tire secure on the rim bead and letting you ride up to 30 miles (50km) as a run-flat. No mid-ride repairs, and no call of shame to have someone pick you up.
It seems every generation or so, bike manufacturers roll out another attempt to add suspension to road bikes. It’s generational because it never works as advertised. The Air-Liner Road solves the problem at the source, turning the tires themselves into a shock-absorbing suspension by maintaining a bead lock and preventing rim strikes at lower PSI. Lower rolling resistance, a smoother ride, and increased traction while hammering, cornering, and braking – all without added risk of pinch flats or folding and burping.
A high-density polymer structure gives the Air-Liner Road all the qualities of a good shock: it mutes chatter and ramps up under big impacts, increasing ride comfort and preventing rim strikes. It also acts as a run-flat for up to an hour if you do puncture, and it has an install life of 2,000 hours. The Air-Liner Road is compatible with ammonia-free sealant, multiway tubeless valves, and 700c rims and tires. Its waterproof coating prevents the absorption of sealant. Each Air-Liner Road insert includes a 40mm Vittoria Green Multiway Tubeless Valve.
