The main benefit is that you can put more pressure (8-9 bars) into a presta valve tube than a regular, or car valve (3-4 bars). That's why most road bikes have presta valve and most mountain bikes have regular valve.
@gasq123 maybe you are right, but the most important thing about having presta valve is the diametre is smaller than car valve. The smaller the diameter the stronger the rim.
The little tip about pressing in the valve finally got my front tire fully inflated. Thanks for the vid, us newbie bike tire pumpers greatly benefit.

I just got my first presta bike tube, on accident, and it's my first time even seeing one. Is there a benefit over the standard valve?
