More grip and fewer flats - and that with a "tire noodle"?

Protecting the rims and tires from punctures, more grip thanks to less air pressure and less burping when cornering at speed - who wouldn't want that? These properties are promised by a product with a funny name: Pepis Tire Noodle.

With extensive material and shape tests as well as numerous bench and field tests, an ultra-light yet robust product has been developed to prevent punctures and provide more grip. We are talking about Pepi's Tire Noodle (PTN for short).

A special feature of the Italian tire insert compared to similar products is its low weight. In size S, the insert weighs just 50 grams. The insert is said to have no influence on the flexing behavior of the tire and is therefore just right for cross-country, enduro and downhill use. No changes to the rim, wheel or other parts are necessary for fitting, which can be a little tricky. The insert is compatible with aluminum and carbon rims, provided there is no manufacturer exclusion.

The system is not only intended to provide puncture protection and more grip. The cushioning of the foam is intended to support a flowing and faster ride. If a puncture does occur, the insert offers so much support that it is possible to ride further with its emergency running properties.

Pepis Tire Noodle is now available from the distributor Trail Supply in Switzerland at the recommended retail price of 79 francs. The addition to Trail Supply's portfolio further increases its expertise in puncture protection systems, as the Zwillikon-based supplier already offers the Huck Norris tire insert.
