OVERVIEW
The MITAS 70001346 is a standard duty inner tube built specifically for 18-inch motorcycle, dirt bike, scooter, and moped wheels. Constructed from a 1.5 mm thick rubber casing, this tube delivers steady air retention and consistent pressure support for daily street riding and light off-road use. Each unit ships sealed in an individual pouch filled with a nitrogen-rich atmosphere to prevent premature moisture buildup and extend shelf life.
ENGINEERING & PERFORMANCE
This inner tube maintains stable operating pressure through a precision-extruded rubber compound engineered to resist deformation under normal load conditions. The integrated TR-6 center valve assembly utilizes a galvanized steel stem that resists corrosion while anchoring securely against the rim hole. Dual mounting washers clamp the valve base evenly, distributing mechanical stress and minimizing the risk of valve base fatigue or slow leaks during repeated inflation cycles.
