PANARACER PURPLE LITE TPU 700 × 23–32C Inner Tube – Presta 65 mm, ultralight 36 g, purple (TW723-32F65-PL)

PANARACER PURPLE LITE TPU 700 × 23–32C is an ultralight road bicycle inner tube made from modern thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). Weighing just 36 grams, it is an ideal choice for cyclists looking to reduce wheel weight, maintain a smooth ride, and carry a compact spare tube.

The inner tube is designed for road tires measuring 700 × 23C to 700 × 32C and features a 65 mm Presta valve. The special valve design with a metal tip, securing lockring nut, and spacer washer ensures ease of use and a reliable seat in the rim.

PURPLE LITE – Ultralight TPU Technology

The PURPLE LITE model uses advanced TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) material, combining low weight, elasticity, and mechanical strength.

Compared to standard butyl inner tubes, it offers significant weight savings. This is particularly appreciated by sports and competitive cyclists looking to optimize their bike's overall weight.

Lower rotational mass contributes to a snappier acceleration feel and more responsive handling.

Only 36 Grams

One of the biggest advantages of the PURPLE LITE inner tube is its remarkably low weight.

A weight of only 36 g delivers a substantial weight reduction compared to classic butyl tubes.

For comparison, Panaracer cites a standard road tube weight of 114 g in their catalog. The PURPLE LITE is an effective way to lighten a road bike without needing to replace tires or wheelsets.

Compact Dimensions for Easy Transport

TPU material allows the inner tube to pack down into an extremely small package.

As a result, it takes up minimal space in a saddle bag, jersey pocket, or on-bike storage compartment.

This makes the PURPLE LITE not only a great primary tube for high-performance riding, but also an ideal lightweight and packable spare for training, racing, and long rides.

65 mm Presta Valve

The inner tube features a 65 mm Presta valve.

This length is suitable for a wide range of road rims, including several mid-profile rims. Please make sure before purchasing that the valve extends sufficiently beyond your rim profile to attach a pump.

The valve has a two-piece construction combining a polymer base with a metal threaded tip.

The metal tip is engineered for durability and heat resistance against the temperatures generated by electric mini pumps.

Securing Nut and Spacer Washer

The valve assembly includes a securing nut and spacer washer.

These help stabilize the valve in the rim hole, minimizing unwanted movement or rattling while riding.

The secure fit also makes attaching the pump head and inflating much easier.

Compatibility with 700 × 23–32C Tires

The tube is designed for road bikes with a rim diameter of 622 mm (700C / 28") and tire widths ranging from 23 to 32 mm.

It is suitable for tires such as 700 × 23C, 700 × 25C, 700 × 28C, 700 × 30C, and 700 × 32C.

For proper operation, ensure compliance with the specified dimensions and follow the manufacturer's mounting instructions for TPU tubes.

TPU Tube Mounting Specifics

TPU tubes require different handling than standard butyl or latex tubes.

During installation, ensure the tube is not pinched between the tire and rim, and only use pressures recommended by the manufacturer.

When inflating outside the tire, do not exceed 0.35 bar (35 kPa / 5 psi). The tube should only be inflated to working pressure once properly installed inside the tire.

The manufacturer also states that this tube is not intended to be repaired in the event of a puncture.
