Tannus Armour 2-in-1 Puncture and Rim Protector for inner tubes
39,90 €/ unidad
First and only 2-in-1 protector for inner tubes. Tannus Armour protects you from punctures and rim damage while increasing comfort and performance.
Combine it with our inner tubes or the ultralight inner tubes from Eclipse for maximum performance.
Tannus Armour is a semi-mousse designed to be placed between the inner tube and the tire. The insert protects against punctures from sharp objects, pinch flats (snake bites), and side cuts.
The Tannus Armour covers nearly 360º providing heel-to-toe protectionwhich provides an inner protective structure to the tire. This allows driving at much lower pressures without the tire becoming deformed, sluggish or difficult to master.
It significantly absorbs a large amount of ground vibrations (for example, in loose gravel areas) and disperses the energy evenly into the inner tube. The result is a much smoother, quieter, and more comfortable ride.
It's the first 'semi-mousse,' UNIQUE in the market. Developed with the patented worldwide Aither compound, it has a base of 1,000,000,000 (one billion) closed micro 'bubbles' of air and olefin polymer, which represents a significant innovation for the world of cycling.
Tannus Armour is ideal for the Off-Road & MTB segment.
2-in-1: ANTI PUNCTURES and RIM PROTECTION.
The Tannus Armour has a base protection with a thickness between 13 and 15mm, as well as reinforced side protection ranging from 2 to 5mm.
It eliminates, thus, 90% of punctures caused by the 4 main threats:
SHARP OBJECTS, SIDE CUTS, RIM DAMAGE, and PINCH FLATS..
IMPORTANT
You should use a narrower inner tube than usual because the Armour occupies some of the space originally reserved for it.
Remember that you can add the compatible inner tube to your order when selecting your Armour.

What is Tannus Armour?
Tannus Armour is the first anti-puncture tire insert on the market to work with an inner tube and protect it from punctures by sharp objects, pinches caused by rim impacts (snake bite's) and side cuts (unique in the market).
Which Tannus Armour should I choose?
You will need to choose the Tannus Armour that is within the range of your tire and rim.
It is important that both items are within Tannus Armour's compatibility range.
It's very simple; we'll tell you how to check it here.
Which Tannus Armour should I choose?
Which inner tube should I choose for my Tannus Armour?
Tannus Armour takes up some space inside the tire initially reserved for the inner tube, so you should use a narrower inner tube size than you would normally use.
The size of the inner tube depends on the width of the tire that we use.
In the inner tube range that we indicate for each size it is important that it is never greater than the maximum marked range.
The recommended inner tube size is always indicated on the packaging and website.
It is important to respect this aspect to guarantee effectiveness against puncture.
We have an ultra-light TPU inner tube (ECLIPSE) compatible with every Tannus Armour. Simply select the size of the Tannus Armour you are going to buy and select it in the drop down menu.
You will see that you can easily add tubes by clicking on them.
Which Tannus Armour should I choose?
Is it compatible with ultralight TPU inner tubes (i.e. Eclipse / Tubolito) and Slime type inner tubes?
Tannus Armour is compatible with TPU (thermo-elastomer) inner tubes (Polyurethane). Thanks to this type of tube, the total weight of the wheel assembly is optimized.
Ultralight tubes have a high price compared to traditional butyl tubes, but thanks to the price of the Tannus Armour, the combination of the two elements is in the same price range as a Tubeless Liner. Not bad, right?
We have an ultra-light TPU inner tube (ECLIPSE) compatible with every Tannus Armour. Simply select the size of the Tannus Armour you are going to buy and select it in the drop down menu.
Tannus Armour can also be used with inner tubes that have anti-puncture liquid (slime) but it is not necessary, but if you want to add an extra protection there would be no problem.
Although it can be used, check that the size is appropriate and recommended in each case as indicated in the packaging, assembly guide and web.
What is the compound of the Tannus Armour?
Tannus Armour is made from a patent material called Aither. It is a high-quality foam-like polymer that offers vibration damping, a smoother ride and resistance to punctures.
What benefits does Tannus Armour offer?
Complete protection: hard to pierce, protection against punctures, side cuts and rim dents.
More comfort: notably absorb vibrations for a smoother ride.
Maximum control: allows pedaling at low pressures for greater grip and better tracing.
Lightweight and Durable: great balance between speed and protection, + 7,000km without maintenance.
Can I use the tannus armour without inner tube?
No, Tannus Armour is designed to work with an inner tube, it cannot be used without an inner tube.
For Tubeless protection you must choose the special reference for it: Tannus Tubeless.
Is it compatible with Tubolito and Slime inner tubes?
Tannus Armour is compatible with the Tubolito inner tube or similar (thermo-elastomer) (Polyurethane). Thanks to this type of tube, the weight of the wheel assembly is optimized.
Ultralight inner tubes have a high price compared to traditional butyl ones, but thanks to the cost of Tannus Armour, the combination of both elements falls within the price range of a Tubeless Liner. Not bad, right?
Tannus Armour can also be used with inner tubes that have anti-puncture sealant (slime) but it is not necessary, now if you want to add an extra extra protection there would be no problem.
Despite being able to use, check that the size is adequate and recommended in each case as indicated on the packaging, assembly guide and website.
What air pressure should be used when using Tannus Armour?
It definitely depends on personal preferences and it also depends on the cycling discipline you do.
However, the rule of thumb for MTB:
- For previous Tubeless users, test with a pressure between 5-6 PSI (0.37 BAR) less than what you would be riding normally.
- For inner tube users, test about 10 PSI (0.68 BAR) less.
- For those who have no idea of the pressures to use, inflate to a high pressure above 25 PSI (1.7 BAR) and gradually release pressure to the point that you feel that the pressure is not too low to ride.
- For Gravel and Road, again, it depends on the personal preferences of each one, but what we recommend is to start about ⅔ of the pressure that you normally carry.
When should I cut Tannus Armour? Does it affect performance?
Tannus Armour should be trimmed based on the width of the tire used.
If it is not trimmed when indicated or trimmed when not, it will not be installed properly and therefore will affect performance.
Not all Tannus Armour have the cut line, as some sizes do not need to be trimmed.
The indication is always indicated on the packaging, assembly guide and website.
Always cut with scissors.
Do you need tools to do the assembly?
Tannus Armour is easy to install, these are the only tools, not always necessary:
- Scissors (To trim Armour, depending on cover size used)
- Levers (To facilitate the tire beading)
- Talcum powder (To facilitate the tire beading)
What advice do you recommend for assembly?
Tannus Armour is easy to assemble, however the following tips can make assembly even easier:
Before assembly, you must check that you are using the correct inner tube and following the cutting instructions.
- Clean well any remaining sealant and foreign objects inside your tire
- Place one side of the tire on one wall of the rim first
- Use talcum powder, to facilitate the beading of the Tannus Armour on the rim
- An additional precaution is that when placing the Armour, do not pinch the inner tube
- Slightly inflate the inner tube and start by placing it on the rim through the valve
- Insert the other wing of the Tannus Armour inside the rim, it will facilitate beading
- Finally, bead the other side of the tire on the rim and proceed to the final steps
Deflate the inner tube and adjust the Armour
Center the Armour around the wheel
Inflate to a high pressure for adjustment
