The tire liner game is thick with offerings, and the products are becoming more and more discipline-focused. Vittoria was late to the tire liner game (and reconfigured their previous design) but now offers a solution for nearly every riding style on and off-road. The Italian tire powerhouses newest offering is a trail and e-bike-focused liner that caters to the specific needs of brutal trail conditions. Meet the new Vittoria Air-Liner Protect Trail and e-Bike inserts.(All photos: Vittoria)Air-Liner Protect Insert What is it?The Vittoria Air-Liner Protect inserts are fairly lightweight inserts that help riders save their rims from trail abuse, avoid flats (or run flats), ride lower pressure, and round out abrasive trail conditions. The Air-Liner Protect inserts are popular in the cross-country scene (I love them personally) because of their ease of installation and overall low weight.The Air-Liner Protect now expands to trail and e-bike-specific categories, offering a lightweight package and protection.What makes them different from the cross-county offering? Considering the difference in usage, the trail and e-Bike Air-Liner Protect inserts employ a different design aimed at larger-volume tires. There is no evidence that the new liners composition differs from the previous one; the volume change and sizing are notable differences.Enhancing Ride ExperienceTire liners do more than prevent rim destruction. They help riders in several ways. I notice light vibration dampening, more lateral support in corners (under lower pressure), and less (or zero) tire folding.The Same But DifferentVittoria Air-Liner Protect inserts are multiple, and riders have tons of choices. That said, the Trail and e-bike inserts are two different designs aimed at eachs specific demands. Both use the Vittoria foam insert (sizes varied) and the 40mm Vittoria valves that work in tandem with the foam insert.Here is what separates the new additionsKey Features Vittoria Air-Liner Trail Protect InsertRun-flat support: In case of a puncture, ride up to 50km in run-flat mode.Compatible with 29 wheels and from 2.1 to 2.6 tire widths.Each package arrives with one Insert and one Vittoria Green Multiway Tubeless 40mm valveRim width: 25-30mmWeight: 100gPrice:$70.00Key Features Vittoria Air-Liner e-Bike Protect InsertRun Flat SupportAvailable in 29 and 27.5 wheel sizes, each compatible with 2.4 2.6 tire widths.Each package arrives with one Insert and one Vittoria Green MultiwayRim width: 25-30mmTubeless 40mm valveWeight: 145gPrice: $70.00We have some new liners requested for review; stay tuned for impressions.www.vittoria.comThe post Vittoria Announces Lightweight Trail and e-Bike Specific Air-Liner Protect Insert appeared first on Bikerumor.
