Chaoyang Bicycle Inner Tube

Chaoyang is a prominent Chinese brand specializing in tires and inner tubes for a variety of vehicles, including bicycles, motorcycles, and automobiles. The brand was established in 1958 and is the flagship label of the Zhongce Rubber Group (ZC Rubber), which is currently China's largest tire manufacturer and one of the top ten tire companies globally.

Manufacturing for Chaoyang products primarily takes place in China, specifically at the group's extensive facilities in Hangzhou, where the company originated as the Hangzhou Rubber Factory. In recent years, ZC Rubber has expanded its production footprint with overseas manufacturing plants, such as those in Thailand, to serve international markets more efficiently. The inner tube featured in the image is a standard butyl rubber component designed for 700c bicycle wheels, a common size for road and gravel bikes.

Ownership of the brand has evolved from a local state factory into a major international corporation. Zhongce Rubber Group Co., Ltd. remains the ultimate owner and recently made its debut on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in 2025, further solidifying its position as a global industrial leader headquartered in Hangzhou, China.
