Product Description

Tannus Armour has been developed with our patented Aither technology. A multi-cell foam compound that is lightweight, flexible yet incredibly durable. Aither is the culmination of 10 years of Tannus development within the tire industry Tannus Armour is a foam insert that sits between your inner tube and tire, providing an additional layer of protection against 4 main types of damage.

Sharp Objects
Sidewall Tears
Rim Strikes
Pinch Flats Vibration Dampening

The Armour very noticeably absorbs a huge amount of the vibration from the ground (eg. rock strikes) and dissipates the energy evenly in the tube. The result is a much smoother, quieter, more comfortable and compliant ride.

Lower PSI: The Armours near 360deg bead-to-bead, protection gives sidewall structure to the tyre, allowing us to ride at much lower pressures without the tire deforming and becoming slow and difficult to handle.

Puncture Protection: Armour eliminates 90% of all punctures due to its reinforced sidewall and underside protection.

Increased Grip: Run at lower pressures for increased grip in wet conditions and loose rock.

Increased Comfort: Armour absorbs vibration for a smoother, more comfortable ride.

Run Flat: If you do get a flat tyre you can still ride for a limited period at up to 6mph without damaging your wheel.

Fast Rolling: Engineered to minimize rolling-resistance (drag), Tannus Armour provides the ultimate balance of speed and protection.

Easy Installation: Installing the Armour is as quick and easy as installing a regular tyre and is maintenance free.

Occasionally, without notice, manufacturers change product design and/or specifications.

Tyres Guide

What type of tyre do I need?

It’s best to choose a bike tyre based on the type of riding you’re going to be doing.

Road bike tyres

Road bike tyres are identified by a smooth tread pattern and narrow width for speed and efficiency.

Mountain bike tyres

MTB tyres are much wider with chunky tread for added grip on off-road conditions.

Hybrid/ commuter tyres

These tyres will often blend characteristics from road and MTB tyres with added puncture protection for daily durability.

Does tyre width matter?

Thin tyres are fastest as they have low rolling resistance and are more aerodynamically profiled.

Wide tyres are more comfortable and stable due to the increased contact patch with the ground.

How to check your current tyre size?

Take a look at the sidewall of your current tyres and you’ll see one or two sets of figures;

One is the traditional size like 700x28c or 27.5x2.2.

The first figure is the tyre diameter (size). The second is tyre width. Note: road bike sizes are in mm, MTB sizes are in inches

The other set of figures you may see is ETRTO sizing like this 28-622.

The first number here is tyre width while the second number relates to wheel diameter.

Here is a comparrison chart for traditional and ETRTO sizing to help you choose the correct tyre size.

ETRTO Number	Dimension

18-622	700 x 18C
23-622	700 x 23C
25-622	700 x 25C
28-622	700 x 28C
32-622	700 x 32C

Will this tyre fit my wheel?

Your new tyre must be the same diameter as your current one (to fit your wheel rim).

Then, you need a choose a tyre which will fit your frame.

Road bike tyres are generally 21 – 28mm wide

MTB tyres can range from 1.5”-5”

To make things complicated road tyres are measured in mm, while MTB tyres are in inches.

How wide is too wide

You want to leave at least 4mm clearance between your frame and tyres to prevent rub and allow for mud clearance.

Measure the following areas on your frame:

Fork crown (top)

Brake calipers (make sure you squeeze them)

Chainstays

Seatstays

Subtract 4mm and you’ll have the maximum width your frame can handle.

What is the best type of tyre for daily riding?

If you’re commuting, riding and training daily you’ll want a tyre with some form of puncture resistance.

Puncture resistance often comes in the form of a harder or thicker rubber compound, or a protective layer running underneath the tread pattern.

What are tubeless tyres?

Tubeless tyres do not have an inner tube. The tyre and rim of your wheel (you need a tubeless ready rim) create an airtight seal with the valve directly mounted on the rim.

You can run these tyres at lower pressures for an improved ride quality. A bigger contact with the ground means you have improved traction when cornering.

Tubeless tyres often come with liquid sealant that creates a seal that may heal itself on a small puncture so you can keep riding home.
