Nano tubes are made from a highly air impermeable, recyclable polymer. This means that while they are super light they are very tough and retain pressure incredibly well.
For day to day use having great air retention can really improve your overall riding experience. Data below generated using Conti 5000 28mm tires.
Multiple tubeless setups tested due to variability in sealing on rims.
