Pros
95g per tube. Great way to knock off some serious rolling weight for your lightweight wheelset.
 
Cons
The presta valve can be a bit flimsy. To be fair though, I wasn't paying attention when I hooked up the pump so it's probably a user error rather than a design flaw. Just pay attention and you will be fine.
 
Review
A GREAT light weight tube for XC riding. Not recommended for heavy riders or people those who like to do rough terrain.

Review
Great light weight tube. Just a bit more weight than the amount you need of stan`s for a tubeless setup

Super light and holds air well compared to latex tube
 
Cons
Still have to be careful not to hit to hard of an edge they will still puncture
 
Review
A great tube for any XC rider who wants to save weight and not go into a tubeless setup
