What do Air Free tires weigh?
The weight of each bicycle tire is listed with the individual tires. The foam weighs a little more than air, but because it traps so many air bubbles, the weight difference is slight. Air Free tires range from as light as 300 grams each for high-end racing tires to 1200 to 1400 grams for some of our mountain bike or more rugged industrial tires. A 26 X 2.0 pneumatic rubber tire would weigh about 800 grams – with a fairly thick inner tube, the total weight would be about 1100 grams. Our airless tires of the same size weigh between 1000 and 1200 grams, which is right in the same range. Our Daytona 700 X 20 tire weighs about 350 grams; most high-end rubber racing tires also weigh about 350 grams. Some of our airless tires do weigh more than a comparable rubber tire and some weigh less. Higher PSI tires contain more foam and therefore weigh more.
