Overview

Is the Tannus Armour Tire Insert 24 x 1.95-2.5 the right flat protection for your 24-inch youth or cargo bike?

The Tannus Armour Tire Insert 24 x 1.95-2.5 is a foam insert that sits between your tire and inner tube to deliver puncture protection, pinch-flat protection, and rim protection on 24-inch wheels in the 1.95 to 2.5 inch width range. Built around Aither, Tannus's patented multi-cell rebounding foam compound, the insert provides 15mm of puncture protection under the tread and 2mm of sidewall protection from sharp objects, eliminating roughly 90% of common flats. This is the right insert for 24-inch youth bikes, smaller-frame mountain bikes, and 24-inch cargo bikes where flat reliability matters every ride.

Armour also lets you run lower tire pressures for better grip and a smoother ride without risking pinch flats, and it provides run-flat capability so a puncture does not end your ride immediately. Installation is as simple as a regular tube swap, requires a minimum 19mm inner rim width, and uses a smaller-than-stock tube (24 x 1.5-1.95) for proper fit. Sold as a single insert, weight 270g, in Tannus's signature red.

Which tires will this Armour insert fit?

This Armour fits 24 x 1.95-2.5 inch tires (ISO 507x50-63). It is sized for youth mountain bikes, smaller-frame bikes, and 24-inch cargo bikes.

What tube size do I need with this Armour?

You need a 24 x 1.5-1.95 inch inner tube, which is one size smaller than the tire. Tannus Armour displaces space inside the tire, so a properly downsized tube is required for correct fit.

Does this Armour have run-flat capability?

Yes. This size has run-flat capability, so a sudden flat will not end your ride. Run-flat does not apply to fat tire sizes (20x3.0-4.0, 20x4.1-4.8, 26x4.0-4.8).

What is Aither and what protection does it provide?

Aither is Tannus's patented multi-cell rebounding foam compound. It provides 15mm of puncture protection under the tread and 2mm of sidewall protection, eliminating roughly 90% of common flats while still letting the tire roll and absorb bumps normally.
