Heidenau Inner Tube 18 E – 34G Valve

Heidenau 18E fits the 3.25, 3.50, 4.00, 4.10, 4.60, 90/100, 100/90, 110/90, 110/80, 120/80 size range for 18-inch rims — a broader range than 18 D, for heavier motorcycles.

The wall here is thinner than in the Cross class — 1.5–2.0mm: enough for everyday road riding.

Material and durability

Heidenau 18E is made from natural rubber: the material resists mechanical stress better than synthetic compounds and holds elasticity for longer. The trade-off: it loses pressure slightly faster than synthetic rubber, so check pressure with a gauge from time to time.

Valve and fitment

Heidenau 18E comes with a standard-length, straight 34G valve — a simple, reliable choice where no bend angle or extra stem length is needed.

Application

Heidenau 18E suits motorcycles, scooters and mopeds with an 18-inch rim under normal road conditions. Natural rubber retains elasticity better at low temperatures in Kazakhstan's winter, but ages faster than some synthetic materials during prolonged use in summer heat.

Fitting recommendation

When fitting Heidenau 18E, check the length of the original valve and use a new rim tape of the correct size. Pinching the tube with tyre levers remains one of the most common causes of premature tube failure.
