About Us

Prüfengel offers authentic consumer tests in which real users share their experiences with products. Our tests are based on practical applications in everyday life and reflect the opinions of consumers. As we focus on consumer tests, we do not carry out any material, long-term or laboratory tests. The tests are carried out by 1-2 independent consumers over a period of 7-14 days. The exact test conditions can be viewed in the test plan of the respective test report – click here to go directly to the test plan.

Manufacturers provide the tested products free of charge. We charge a one-off test fee for carrying out the tests. In addition, manufacturers pay an annual licence fee for the use of the Prüfengel seal. We also receive a commission for linking to manufacturers’ websites. These remunerations have no influence on our test results or ratings.

We guarantee transparency and a fair evaluation. For a detailed insight into our comprehensive evaluation process, please click here.

When opening the packaging, the compact and practical design immediately catches the eye. The two tubes are neatly rolled up and protected by simple cardboard packaging that is easy to open. All relevant information, such as tyre sizes, valve type and material, is clearly printed on the outside. No unnecessary frills, just a functional design that focuses on the essentials. At first glance, the tubes themselves appear to be of high quality and evenly manufactured. The valve is also well protected and securely integrated. A small instruction leaflet with installation instructions is also included. Overall, the packaging gives a solid and trustworthy impression that makes you want to try it out.

Makaluptis scores points with its uniform material thickness and cleanly welded transitions. The surface of the butyl rubber feels smooth and durable, with no sticky residue or unpleasant odour. The valve sits firmly in the tube body and shows no signs of play or leakage. Even on closer inspection, no manufacturing defects or material flaws are apparent. The black colour scheme looks simple and professional, which goes well with most types of bikes. A particularly positive feature is that, despite its stability, the tube remains flexible enough to be easily inserted into the tyre. The workmanship suggests long-lasting use, even with frequent inflation or changing weather conditions. Overall, the product leaves a thoroughly high-quality impression.
