Tubeless tire system
310767-10
This vehicle makes use of a tubeless tire system in which a tube-
less sealing profile
1
is used instead of the conventional tube.
The advantage of the tubeless system is that there is no risk of a
defective tube. This greatly reduces the risk of a sudden loss in
pressure.
The masses and moments of inertia of these wheels are smaller
than in conventional spoke wheels with a tube. This results in bet-
ter handling and riding comfort.
The rigid rim design results in a spoke wheel that is almost
entirely maintenance-free.
KTM recommends that the tubeless sealing profile be changed
after 5 years at the latest, regardless of the actual state of wear.
