Schwalbe Air Plus Inner Tube Nr. 19L-AP – 29"/29+", AV 40mm, 54/65-622, Butyl

Schwalbe Air Plus Tube Nr. 19L-AP – Built for Wide 29" & 29+ Tyres, Schrader Valve

Running wide 29" or 29+ tyres on your trail or enduro bike? The Schwalbe Air Plus Nr. 19L-AP is the tube that keeps pace with your riding. Made with a high proportion of pure butyl rubber and walls approximately 70% thicker than a standard tube, it holds air significantly longer and shrugs off punctures and pinch flats with ease. Fit it, pump it up with any standard pump or petrol station compressor, and focus on the trail ahead.

This version uses an AV (Auto Valve / Schrader) valve with a 40 mm stem — the same type found on car tyres, compatible with virtually any pump. It fits wide tyres from 54 to 65 mm (ETRTO 54/65-622), covering both standard 29" and the chunkier 29+ format. Like all Schwalbe tubes, it is 100% recyclable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Nr. 19L-AP and the Nr. 19-AP?

Both are Schwalbe Air Plus tubes for 29" wheels (ETRTO 622), but they cover different tyre widths. The Nr. 19-AP fits narrower tyres (40–62 mm, ETRTO 40/62-622). The Nr. 19L-AP fits wider tyres (54–65 mm, ETRTO 54/65-622) and is also suitable for 29+ format. Choose based on your tyre’s width.

What is 29+ and is this tube compatible?

29+ refers to 29" wheels fitted with extra-wide tyres, typically 2.4" (61 mm) or wider. This tube (ETRTO 54/65-622) covers tyres up to 65 mm wide, making it compatible with most 29+ setups. Always check your specific tyre’s ETRTO width before ordering.

What valve type does this tube use?

The Nr. 19L-AP AV uses an AV (Auto Valve / Schrader) valve with a 40 mm stem. This is the same valve type found on car tyres and is compatible with most standard floor pumps, hand pumps, and petrol station air compressors. No special pump head is required.

What makes the Air Plus better than a standard tube?

The Air Plus is made with a higher proportion of pure butyl rubber and has walls approximately 70% thicker than a standard tube. This results in significantly better air retention (you pump up less often) and above-average resistance to punctures and pinch flats.

Is this tube compatible with e-bikes?

Yes — the Air Plus tube is suitable for use in e-bike tyres within the compatible size range (29"/29+, 54–65mm). Its thicker walls make it a particularly good choice for heavier e-bikes where puncture resistance is important.

Is the Schwalbe Air Plus tube recyclable?

Yes — like all Schwalbe tubes, the Air Plus Nr. 19L-AP is 100% recyclable. Schwalbe runs a tube recycling programme, so when your tube reaches the end of its life, it can be returned for recycling rather than going to landfill.
