Meet the sealant Trev trusts in the workshop and on the road. Caffélatex is an Italian-made, no-ammonia formula that’s tough on punctures but kind on your tyres and rims. Whether you’re rolling gravel, racing crits, or just trying to get to work without another flat… this stuff does the job.

Why Trev Rates It

No nasty chemicals – ammonia-free and gentle on tyres, rims, and latex tubes.
Seriously durable – long-lasting formula with top-tier puncture repair ability.
Foams as you ride – shakes into a light foam that coats the entire tyre, not just the bottom.
Pro-level performance – the same formula used by CX, road, and MTB racers worldwide.
One universal blend – no “pro-only” version; you get the good stuff.

Trev’s Tip: Give the bottle a good shake before adding it. The magic works best when it’s properly mixed

How It Works

Caffélatex uses ultra-fine silicate particles (less than 2 microns) to help the sealant move slowly through a puncture, giving it more time to seal without clogging valves.
Perfect for lightweight or thin-casing tyres where every second counts.

Foam = Better Coverage

Most sealants pool at the bottom of your tyre. Caffélatex foams up with wheel movement and fills the entire cavity — meaning better protection, especially for sidewall cuts. Leave the bike still for ~15 minutes and it settles back into liquid.

Seals Fast

MTB tubeless: up to 5 mm punctures
Road tubeless: up to 3 mm punctures
Works on tubeless, tubular, and standard tyres.

How Long It Lasts

(Depends on tyre type, conditions, and how your bike is stored — check every 2 months.)

Tubular / tubes: Up to 1 year
UST tubeless: 2–6 months
Tubeless-ready: 1–4 months
Tube-type tyres: 1–3 months

When it dries out, the tyre usually stays airtight, but it won’t seal new punctures — so keep an eye on it.

Good to Know

Not corrosive – totally safe for tyres, rims, and delicate latex tubes.
Wide temp range – use between -20°C to +50°C (storage -15°C to +30°C).
Two sizes available: 250ml & 1000ml
