With the Procore double chamber system mountain bike tires can reach completely new levels of grip, control and puncture protection. In the inner chamber there is high pressure, and with 0.8 bar in the outer chamber the tire almost “sticks\u201d to the ground. Both chambers are filled with air through only one valve.<\/p>\n

Off road, riding at lower pressure means better performance but at the same time it increases the risk of failures. “The limit so far is at about 1.5 bar, below which it\u2019s hardly possible to dare to ride normal MTB tires\u201d. explained Schwalbe chief developer Markus Hachmeyer.
With Procore there is now the possibility that the air pressure can be controlled in the tire\u2018s double chambers. The inner chamber consists of the inner tire and tube with the patented dual valve. It is inflated with high pressure from 4 to 6 bar. The outer chamber on the other hand is tubeless. It consists of a standard tubeless compatible MTB tire. It is filled with a little sealing liquid and very low air pressure of 0.8 to 1.5 bar.<\/p>\n

The effect is spectacular: The high pressure inner chamber almost completely eliminates the risk of punctures. At the same time, the inner chamber secures the tire on the rim. This means that you can ride with a much lower tire pressure in the outer chamber and significantly improve grip on even the roughest terrain. With one Bar air pressure, the tires almost “stick\u201c to the ground, and give the bike much more grip and feel.<\/p>\n

In addition, an increase in damping and traction brings decisively better bike control, plus much lighter tires can be ridden. Even in tough conditions “burping\u201d, the dreaded loss of air at low pressure in conventional tubeless systems is eliminated.<\/p>\n

“Every performance-oriented mountain biker who has ever ridden the system will not want to do without it. The improvements in riding characteristics are similar to major introductions like the suspension fork or adjustable seat post,\u201c says Hachmeyer. For this it is even worth the additional weight of 200 grams per wheel. As for real hardcore mountain bikers, they now have the additional advantage that they can ride with significantly lighter tires. Because the risk of punctures is greatly reduced, they no longer need heavy downhill tyres.<\/p>\n
