Depending on the route and weather conditions, it makes sense to Tyre pressure to vary. Often just 0.1 bar can be decisive for better handling. Tubolito has developed a convenient alternative to the classic Air pressure gauge on the market. The Tubo-MTB PSENS is the first "smart" inner tube in the bike business. Uncomplicated and quick, the Tubolito app tyre pressure can be checked at any time using the integrated sensor. Unlike the 259 euro TyreWiz system from Quarq the technology is in the hose, not in the valve.
The NFC chip for tyre pressure measurement, which weighs just a few grams, is located near the valve. This can measure the tyre pressure to an accuracy of a tenth of a bar. Particularly practical: the chip does not require a battery, as it draws power from the respective smartphone via induction.
The Tubolito app is already available in the App Store for iOS. An Android version is set to follow in summer 2021. The NFC function is supported by iPhones from model 7. The Tubo-MTB PSENS is available for 27.5 and 29-inch wheels and tyre widths of 1.8 - 2.5 inches.
