Your B2B Guide to Sourcing Bicycle CO2 Cartridges

Looking to build or optimize your cycling accessory product line? This guide breaks down everything B2B buyers need to know about sourcing CO2 cartridges for bike tires — from cartridge sizing and threading to quality standards, compatible inflators, and global logistics.

Which Brands Are Known for Bicycle CO2 Cartridges?

If you’re entering the cycling accessories market — whether you’re launching inflator kits or sourcing CO2 cartridges for retail — understanding the competitive landscape helps you position smarter and avoid costly missteps.

Here’s how most B2B buyers categorize the current players:

1. Cycling Tool Brands with CO2 Bundles

Popular names like Lezyne, Pro Bike Tool, and Genuine Innovations often sell CO2 inflators with cartridges in branded kits. While well-known, most of these brands outsource cartridge manufacturing to OEM factories.

2. OEM Manufacturers Behind the Scenes

Factories like Alizeegas supply the actual cartridges behind dozens of tool brands — offering gas weight flexibility (8g–38g), custom thread specs, and private-label packaging for distributors and inflator OEMs.

3. Niche DTC or Regional Cycling Brands

From e-commerce newcomers to regional bike stores, many brands now offer their own CO2 kits for MTB, gravel, and fat bikes. These brands demand small-batch flexibility, custom branding, and accessory bundling, which only direct factories can provide affordably.

🚴♂️ Want to know which brands dominate the cycling CO2 cartridge space — and what makes their best-selling products stand out?

Which CO2 Cartridge Sizes Fit Road, MTB, and Fat Bikes?

Not all bike tires are built the same — and neither are the CO2 cartridges that inflate them. Here’s how B2B buyers typically match cartridge sizes with different cycling applications:

12g CO2 – Still used in some compact kits or budget tools, but less common due to limited inflation volume. ⚠️ Not recommended as a primary SKU for today’s bicycle accessory market.

16g CO2 – Most widely used for road bikes and mountain bikes. It delivers enough gas to inflate 23–29c tires to riding pressure in seconds. ✅ Recommended for mainstream kits and first-time orders.

20g CO2 – The perfect middle ground between 16g and 25g. Offers extra volume without increasing size too much — suitable for hybrid e-bikes, multi-surface riders, or upgraded inflator tools. 🟢 Ideal for brands looking to upsell above 16g without bulk.

25g CO2 – Designed for fat bikes, touring, or bikes with oversized tires. The extra capacity ensures proper inflation without needing two cartridges. ⚠️ Ideal for specialized dealers or winter/off-road cycling brands.

38g CO2 – High-capacity cartridge for extreme terrain or adaptive bikes, including cargo systems, rescue kits, and cold-climate operations. 🚨 Reserved for professional or fleet-grade setups — not common for consumer kits.

What’s the Best Starter Size for New Wholesale Buyers?

If you’re entering the cycling accessory market or adding CO2 inflators to your product line, start with 16g threaded cartridges. Here’s why:

Tool Compatibility: 90% of bike inflators on the market are built for threaded 16g cartridges
User Confidence: One-shot inflation for standard tires reduces customer complaints
Market Volume: Road and MTB riders make up the majority of cartridge users globally

📦 Want to test market fit before committing? We offer mixed-size sample packs (12g + 16g + 20g + 25g + 38g) tailored for inflator brands and distributors.

Threaded vs. Non-Threaded — Which Interface Works Better?

Understanding valve interface is critical for bulk buyers. Here’s a quick comparison:

Feature	Threaded CO2 (e.g., 3/8″-24 UNF)	Non-Threaded CO2
🔧 Compatibility	Universal for screw-in inflators	Limited to select kits and brands
🔄 Secure Fit	Leak-proof connection	May require seal support
🌐 Market Share	>80% of global CO2 tools	~20%, mainly budget inflator sets
📦 Packaging Flexibility	High — OEM-friendly for bundling	Often sold pre-packed in kits

Recommendation: Stick with threaded unless your target market specifically demands non-threaded. It simplifies inventory, tool compatibility, and packaging — and at Alizeegas, we offer OEM thread customization at no extra cost.

How Much Can Each CO2 Cartridge Inflate?

12g vs 16g vs 20g vs 25g vs 38g — Bicycle Inflation Pressure Chart

Choosing the right CO2 cartridge size isn’t just about compatibility — it directly affects how much pressure you can deliver per tire. For B2B buyers launching or sourcing inflation kits, understanding real inflation output is critical to product design, cost control, and end-user satisfaction.

Below is a comparative table showing estimated inflation pressure (PSI / BAR) across common tire sizes for five popular CO2 cartridge sizes:

Tire Size	12g	16g	20g	25g	38g

💡 Why This Chart Matters for Buyers

Kit designers can align cartridge size to tire type to avoid over-spec or underfill.
Retailers can use this as an upsell guide: e.g., recommend 25g for fat bikes, 16g for gravel.
OEM brands can optimize SKUs by bundling the right cartridge with each inflator.

How End Users Judge Bicycle Tire Inflation — Without a Gauge

In real-world cycling repairs — especially roadside or off-road — most CO2 inflators don’t come with pressure gauges. That means your customers’ end users rely on feel, sound, and visual feedback.

Here’s a simplified breakdown worth sharing with B2B buyers and retailers developing CO2 cartridge kits:

1. By Touch – Most Reliable in the Field

Riders perform a quick two-finger squeeze on the tire sidewall:

Correct inflation = Firm, slight give under strong pressure
Underinflated = Spongy or easily compressed
Overinflated = Rock-hard with no flex — risk of tube damage

✅ This is the most commonly used field method and works across all tire types.

2. By Sound – A Useful, But Not Definitive Cue

When activating a CO2 cartridge, riders will hear a sharp hiss as gas flows into the tire.

As pressure inside the tire increases, the hissing may slow down or soften — this doesn’t always mean the cartridge is empty
In some cases, gas flow naturally reduces as tire pressure approaches equilibrium
Some inflators are designed to slow release near target PSI to prevent over-inflation

🧠 The key takeaway: sound reduction is a good sign of nearing full inflation, but not a guaranteed signal that the tire is fully inflated or the cartridge is empty. Riders should always combine this with touch and visual feedback.

3. By Visual Shape – Check Seating and Symmetry

End users can check visually if the tire is properly inflated:

The tire appears evenly seated and fully rounded
No bulging or lopsided sections
Tread lightly touches the ground with no bottoming out

This method is especially helpful for MTB and fat bike tires.

4. By Ride Feel – Fast On-Road Confirmation

After inflation, experienced cyclists do a short roll test:

Correct pressure = Smooth ride and responsive steering
Too low = Sluggish, vague handling
Too high = Harsh bumps, bouncy ride, potential tire slip

This gives buyers a good reason to promote “ride-ready” cartridge sizes for each bike category.

OEM & Retailer Notes — Improve the Kit Experience

If you’re creating inflator kits or CO2 refill programs, consider:

🔄 Include 2 cartridges per pack for backup inflation
📦 Offer flow-controlled inflators to prevent CO2 waste
📊 Provide visual pressure charts by tire size for new users
🎓 Encourage practice — buyers can add a QR tutorial or leaflet with inflation tips

Before Your First Order: Critical CO2 Cartridge Sourcing Traps to Avoid

Don’t Let Avoidable Errors Cost You Sales or Compliance

As a CO2 cartridge manufacturer with years of export experience, we’ve seen many first-time buyers make the same avoidable misjudgments — often due to assumptions, lack of technical context, or over-reliance on catalog visuals. Here’s what to watch out for before placing your first PO.

Confusing “Cartridge Size” with “Gas Output”

A 16g CO2 cartridge from Factory A may not deliver the same inflation volume as one from Factory B. Why? Fill tolerance, gas purity, and internal sealing method vary. What looks the same on paper may perform very differently on the road.

Overlooking Inflator Compatibility — Threaded ≠ Non-threaded

One of the most common early mistakes is assuming all CO2 cartridges will fit all inflators.

In reality:

Threaded types (usually 3/8″-24 UNF) dominate in Europe and North America
Non-threaded types are niche, mostly found in specific OEM kits or Asia-local brands Mixing the two leads to leakage, misfits, or customer returns.

Choosing Sizes Without Understanding Tire Requirements

A 12g cartridge may under-inflate a 29” MTB tire. A 38g may explode a city commuter tube. We’ve seen buyers order “all sizes” just to cover the market — and end up with slow-moving SKUs. Start with your most common bike category and work outward.

Assuming CO2 Cartridges Are Easy to Ship

They’re not. All CO2 cartridges are classified under UN1013, Class 2.2 Dangerous Goods, requiring special packaging, MSDS, and licensed freight partners. Failure to prepare this can delay or even cancel your entire shipment.

Ignoring Surface Cleanliness and Retail Readiness

Even if the cartridge inflates perfectly, a dirty surface, stained box, or scratched paint will kill retail presentation.

This matters especially for OEM kits, bike repair sets, and inflator tool bundles.

Expecting OEM Customization Without MOQ or Lead Time

Logo printing, special packaging, or alternate threading? That’s possible — but not instant. We often see buyers expect free customization with no MOQ or design files. Professional factories offer these services, but require planning.

Key Points to Consider in Bicycle CO2 Cartridge Quality

When purchasing bicycle CO2 cartridges, buyers need to ensure that they meet industry standards for safety, performance, and longevity. Here are the critical factors to consider:

1. Cylinder Cleanliness

Ensure there is no residual oil, dust, or moisture inside the cylinder, which could contaminate the CO2 and affect performance. Cleanliness is vital to avoid valve clogs and poor inflation results.

2. Gas Purity

The gas should be 99.5% pure CO2 or higher to guarantee consistent performance without contaminating the tire or affecting its pressure.

3. Leak-Proof Seals

The cartridge must be sealed properly to prevent gas leaks. Ask for proof of leak testing for each batch to confirm the cartridge’s integrity.

4. Burst Strength & Safety

Cartridges must undergo burst testing to ensure they can handle the high-pressure environments of cycling applications. The pressure tolerance should be high enough to withstand handling and transportation.

5. Rust Resistance

Due to frequent exposure to outdoor elements, CO2 cartridges should be rust-resistant. Check for nickel or zinc plating to avoid rust, especially in environments where moisture exposure is common.

6. Packaging Quality

Ensure the cartridges are packaged in a manner that prevents physical damage and moisture penetration. Proper packaging protects the cartridges during transit and storage.

How to Safely Store CO2 Cartridges

Storing CO2 cartridges properly is crucial to ensure their performance and safety. Here are some essential guidelines:

1. Store in a Cool, Dry Place

Keep cartridges in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight, heat, or moisture. Excessive heat can cause internal pressure to rise, leading to potential risks.

2. Proper Positioning

Store cartridges upright and avoid stacking heavy items on them. This prevents unnecessary pressure on the seals and reduces the risk of leakage.

3. Ventilation

Ensure the storage area is well-ventilated to avoid the buildup of CO2 in case of any leakage. Proper airflow is essential for safety.

4. Avoid Flammable Materials

While CO2 is non-flammable, it’s important to store it away from flammable materials to prevent any indirect hazards.
