Great tube for everyday casual riding and training. I especially like the red valve stem cap which matches the trim on my tires and bike.
Review by jaybotelho
These tubes are great for the price. The weight is very good for a non-racer and they are pretty flat and pinch resistant. I usually match them with Continental Grand Prix 4000 tires and really like the combo.

I ride a lot of miles for racing, and this tube hold up just as well as the higher end brands.

New lite rims, so i wanted lite tubes also.
Review by Tony A
Bought these because they were lighter. No issues or flats after 400 miles.
Review by VeloDad
Seem like a fairly light road bike tube. Decent price.
Review by JWoo
These are now the only tube I buy. The 60mm stem works with my B43s and the tires hold up to a lot of riding. At the price, there's no reason to get a $8 tube from anywhere.
Review by TrekRoadDog
I was putting in more miles recently than every before on my road bike. Flats began to be a serious nuisance. Considering I selected tires for thier weight reduction and low rolling resistance I felt this should be complimented with lite weight but durable tubes. After trying a few other tubes I experienced this Kenda SuperLite road tube. This combined with the right tire and the right tire pressure sure seems to have solved my issues. Now I spend more time improving my conditioning instead of on the side of the road fixing flats.
Worth giving these tubes a try if you're having flat problems. But also check your air pressure and check reviews on tires as not all are made equal.

another great value from Kenda Lightweight and puncture resistant.

No issues with these - use with Continental Gatorskins. No flats ever.

If you ride a lot of miles a week, for fun, this is a good bargain.
Review by eddiemack
Nice lite tubes but with anything lite they are susceptable to failure. I went back to a standard weight tube for training as changing flat tires suck. These would be best suited for race day where weight is more a issue.

I use these tubes all the time. They are a inexpensive replacement for continential tubes. The valve stem is removable so you can add Stan's or other tire sealants.
Review by JimmytheBike
Light, threaded presta valves, 48 mm long, with removable valve cores - these are great tubes at a great price & just what I needed!
Review by Kathy
I've had pretty good luck with these tubes. Granted, I have had one tube that eventually punctured at the valve stem after a couple hundred miles of riding, but this was out of the dozen or so of these tubes I've used in the past couple years. I've had similar problems with other lightweight race tubes from Continental and Vittoria, and compared to them these are a bargain.
They do flat easier than standard weight tubes, but they are also lighter. This doesn't make them inferior. If you want a more durable tube, stick with the heavier standard-weight tubes.

What a waste of rubber. Why did they even bother try making a tube if it was going to be this awful. I have been racing and riding for 5 years. I know how to change tires so its not an install issue. These thing both blew out within 50 miles. Completely useless. I have used continental Race tubes forever and never had any issues.
Totally disappointed in Kenda and BikeTiresDirect for selling such a crappy product.

I found these tubes had weak spots at the base of the stem or near where the stem rubber attaches to the tube rubber. This created slow leaks to start, then full flats. Of the six I ordered, all six failed within 80 miles of use. When you get flats using the same tubes but three different brands of tires, two different sets of rims, and Velux rim strips, you can't help but conclude the tubes are inferior.
Review by Michael
I like to use these tubes as they are much more compact than others, but when they went to the black boxes a noticible decline in quality was detected. They are folded differently which makes the much more difficult to handle without totally unfolding. Also they seem to lose air, during rides, for no apparent reason. My theory is that Kenda went to a much cheaper presta valve insert. Once the tube loses air, it won't hold air anymore!

I rode 2.37 miles before I got a flat and a hole the size of a dime in my tube. Invest in something little better to avoid issues.
Review by BUTCH
POS...Bought 2 of these...one was made with a twist in it! I never got to ride with the other one because it blew up while I was putting air in it the first time! LOL! I never sent the twisted one back because it was olny a few bucks and would have cost me more to send it back that the price of the tube....plus I wanted it because it's a good coversation piece....pretty funny. I was suprised about the low quallity because Honda used Kenda tires and tubes for many of there motorcycles back in the day.....anyway, I don't recommend this tube!
