BikePeak Bicycle Inner Tube Mattercorn

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.

Manufacturer’s product description

BikePeak presents the Mattercorn, a robust bicycle inner tube for mountain bikes and trekking bikes in 26-inch format. Made of elastic butyl rubber, this model impresses with its high airtightness and solid puncture resistance. The tube is compatible with tyre sizes from 40-559 to 60-559, i.e. sizes between 26 x 1.50 and 26 x 2.4 inches. A high-quality Presta valve with a length of 40 mm ensures precise inflation and reliable pressure retention. The strength of the material, which rarely needs to be re-inflated, is particularly evident on longer tours. The inner tube is suitable for common brand tyres such as Schwalbe, Continental or Michelin. With the Mattercorn, BikePeak is targeting sporty everyday cyclists who value quality and ease of use. The mobility guarantee rounds off the customer-friendly offer.

When first rolled out, the surface of the Mattercorn hose appears smooth and even. There are no visible production faults or material irregularities. The valve is firmly in place and straight, which indicates precise workmanship. The vulcanisation seam is cleanly executed and barely noticeable. The material thickness is optimally balanced: it is not too thick to add unnecessary weight, but stable enough for everyday use. Overall, the tube gives a high-quality impression that is comparable to that of well-known brands. On closer inspection, it becomes clear that the quality of the workmanship is impressive.
