Great durability thanks to premium material
Tyreinvader is made of high density EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate), a closed cell polymer commonly employed by the sport shoe industry: this material can resist heavy impacts with very little damage and is very durable.
We recommend to check Tyreinvader once a year or after hard riding sessions, and to replace it if needed.
Sealant-optimized
EVA has a closed cell structure that cannot absorb any sealant, letting it free inside the tyre cavity.
Besides, the cut-outs of Tyreinvader allow the sealant to easily move around, to make sure punctures can be quickly fixed.
As inserts have surfaces that are wetted by the sealant, a fraction of it won’t be available to repair punctures. For this reason – also with Tyreinvader – we recommend to slightly increase the quantity of sealant normally employed, by 30 ml.
The cut-outs on Tyreinvader allow the sealant to move freely inside the tyre cavity, something that is much more difficult when using solid “donut-shaped” inserts.
Tyreinvader has been designed to function with our Caffélatex sealant, ammonia free.
Real run flat behavior
Tyreinvader has been sized to sit tightly on the rim, so that – in case of emergency – it will push the tyre against the rim, allowing to ride short distances on the flat tyre. This should be considered an exceptional functioning mode, as we don’t recommend to ride Tyreinvader at zero pressure on purpose.
Compatible with any tubeless valve
The shape of Tyreinvader and a specific cut-out (to be positioned over the valve) make tyre inflation always easy, with any tubeless valve. No need for special tubeless valves.
Reduced influence on normal riding
Tyreinvader is flat and it will basically come into play only when needed (unlike round inserts that are compressed quite often during normal riding). We still recommend to test ride Tyreinvader before racing with it.
We don’t encourage the use of lighter tyres nor of much lower inflating pressure: Tyreinvader simply allows to set tyres up the way the rider likes them, without worrying about pinch flats.
Functional packaging
Tyreinvader is sold in pairs (so 2 pieces per pack, including 4 zip-ties to assemble them), inside a transparent bag. This bag can be used to safely store Tyreinvader after removing it, to avoid sealant stains. It can also be used for other purposes, like shopping or carrying little items.
