An ultra light but robust compost, able to offer greater grip thanks to lower tire pressures, greater support and reduction of damage in case of impacts against roots rocks etc. possibility to complete a race heat even after drilling and continuing in style "Run Flat".

During the long period of design, material research, ideal sections as well as numerous test at the test bench and on the field, the main objective was to create an ultra light but equally robust compost to ensure constant performance even during long DownHill or SuperEnduro descents. However, we are talking about a consumer material that can still be damaged.

The main purpose was to find a solution that can handle the major problems without weighting the wheels or adversely affect the dynamics of competition vehicles. In addition to this, the search should also include finding a component that can offer the runner to continue the route (conclude the race) even in case of drilling the Tubeless. At this point it is remembered that the multi-season champion DH Italiana Veronika Widmann in 2016 equipped with “PTN” defended his title with great advantage on the opponents despite a clear puncture on the back.

Anti-stallation:
With its tubular shape and particular material the PTN exert constant, dynamic and progressive pressure against the lower inner walls of the cover and the side sides of the circle without excessively stressing the structural part of the aluminum or carbon circle. The use of PTN allows the inflating of the Tubeless cover without having to use a compressor. Photos below see black darts.

Damping:
Shock absorption, avoid rebounds and oscillations occurs by rapid and constant control thanks to the material and shape of the PTN. The route of the wheels on disconnected terrain takes place more smoothly (minor noise). Not to exaggerate, but it almost seems to run on the velvet.

Lower pressures:
The dynamic and progressive resistance of PTN exercises parallel support to the air pressure so you can choose a lower dial depending on the best grip. The following photo shows a DH wheel with zero bar cover but with inside a PTN measure “M” which alone offers support as a low-pressure cover.

The PTN once damaged it should NOT be replaced because even with one or more damages due to violent snake bite performs much of its function for which it was designed. Damage of this type manifests almost exclusively on the rear wheel for which a PTN with a high number of "dams" (total paints) can be replaced with a new or exchanged with that mounted on the front wheel. The user himself decides when he considers replacement useful.
