Vittoria Competition Latex Inner Tube 700x25/28 — Black, 48mm Presta, Lightweight Performance

Vittoria Competition Latex Tube is an ultra-lightweight latex inner tube engineered to cut rolling resistance and boost road-racing responsiveness for 700x25–28 tires.

Designed for riders chasing marginal gains, this Vittoria latex tube replaces heavier butyl tubes to make tires feel livelier and accelerate more readily. Constructed from thin, high-quality latex and fitted with a 48 mm removable Presta valve core, it balances low weight, suppleness and practical serviceability for fast road bikes.

How will this tube change how my bike feels during sprints and climbs?

The latex construction flexes more freely than thicker butyl tubes, reducing energy lost inside the tire and improving acceleration and responsiveness. You’ll notice a snappier wheel that comes up to speed with less input.

• Lower rolling resistance compared with standard butyl tubes
• Thinner wall to transmit rider power more directly
• Lightweight design reduces rotational mass for quicker acceleration

Is the Vittoria Competition Latex Tube easy to inflate and maintain?

Yes — the tube uses a 48 mm Presta valve with a removable core, so adding or topping off sealant is straightforward and inflation is convenient with a standard pump or track pump. The conical rubber base ensures a secure seal across many rim profiles.

• Removable valve core for easy sealant refills and thorough inflation
• 48 mm length suits deep-section and mid-profile rims
• Conical rubber valve base compatible with most rim hole shapes

How durable is a latex tube for everyday training and racing?

Latex tubes are slimmer and more supple than butyl, so they are more sensitive to punctures but offer greater ride quality. Vittoria’s Competition latex is engineered to give improved stability and resistance while still prioritizing lightweight performance.

• Latex material increases tire suppleness and handling precision
• Manufactured for stability under race pressures and conditions
• Better energy transfer can reduce the need for extra pressure adjustments

What valve and size options does this tube cover for road wheels?

This specific tube fits 700x25 to 700x28 road tires and arrives with a 48 mm Presta (FV) removable valve core. It is black and sized for competitive road setups where low weight and high responsiveness are priorities.

• Size: 700x25/28 — suitable for narrow road race tires
• Valve: 48 mm Presta with removable core for flexibility
• Color: black finish to match standard road wheel aesthetics

Who is this for: The Vittoria Competition Latex Tube is aimed at competitive road cyclists, crit racers and time trialists who prioritize low weight, fast acceleration and a lively tire feel. It’s ideal for riders willing to take extra care with puncture prevention and sealant upkeep to gain improved rolling efficiency and ride feedback.
