Tubliss Nuetech TU18/TU21 Tubeless Tire System Gen 2 21" + 18" Combo Wheel MX Offroad Dirtbike 21 18 Front & Rear…

I mostly got this to run lower pressures for desert sand riding with mixed rocks on Husky 300 TX. It works well for that as the inner tube absorbs rock hits OK. I'm a terrible sand rider and running 3-5 psi helped a ton for me for the desert rides and hill climbs. Paired with Shinko Fatty front and MotoZ Hybrid rear so fairly stiff sidewalls and soft tread. I'm pretty sure I can run flat without much issue, at 3psi it gets squirmy about 40.Put about 60 hours of mixed riding on the system with 0 issues. Running a bit of slime in the outer tubes and that is it.Install isn't bad compared regular tire changes, the tubliss part is easier than getting the tire on\off.

Being able to run low pressure in combination with a great tire(Tusk Recon Hybrid) made a huge difference in traction, plus very little worry over pinch flats. I ride in southern New England, our trails are wet, muddy and very rocky, the TuBliss system is prefect upgrade for these condition. TuBliss should be the first performance upgrade a rider does..... power is nothing without traction ;) I also notice no difference in how my bike turns, its just as stable as it was with tubes. I can actually push it harder since I'm more confident in the bike's traction.

Shop installed it, so can't comment on installation, but can say it's worked perfectly so far. Only lost 6lbs in front tire after a week and zero-loss in rear tire after a week. Wr250r on mostly street so far. Nevertheless, the peace of mind to be able to use plugs instead of hours of tube repair/replacement (upon puncture) is priceless.

A great compromise over conventional tubes, especially if you can carry a small tire plug kit with you on the trails. I got a deep puncture and was able to patch it on the trail in five minutes. I could do it much faster now that I've had practice. Had that been a tube, the tube may have been punctured as well. I also love being able to safely drop down to 2 or 3 PSI for really technical and snotty trail rides. Installation isn't too difficult as long as you follow the instructions carefully and make sure you have a wide array of tire irons and spoons. It's very easy to damage the red bladder during tire removals if your spoons are too big and flat. Hang on to your old tubes in case this happens to you the night before a ride.

It's a freaking pain to get that last tire bead over the rim with that inner tube filling up the channel. I though I was going to bust a bead and even came close to bending my irons. Once on they are great. I run 9 psi in front and 8 in back and it's great. You'll even get better traction out of your tires as they start to wear out some. Much softer ride you can really notice when you are on a washboard road. I used this- "FlatOut Tire Sealant Sportsman Formula" as assembly lube and sealant. Have only lost about 1 psi in each tire in almost a year. Note though that you need to pump the inner tube up each time you ride as they loose ~ 1psi per day at full pressure. That rate decreases as the pressure drops. I lost about 20psi in 3 months sitting. Don't ride with < 100psi as that pressure seals the air in your low pressure chambers and clamps the bead on your rim. No bead stoppers are usable with this.

Install is different but not hard. A lot of myths surrounding this setup good and bad. I installed this set up on a 2005 ktm with the original wheels. Took some work cleaning the wheels but it was worth it. Would recommend using 4-6 tire spoons to prevent bead and liner damage. I only have 3 rides on them so far but what a difference (around 100 miles). Riding in Iowa mostly in dirt some roots with some leaf cover this time of year there are times I wish the rear would break loose and cant do it. Getting used to that now but I am a now believer in this set up if your looking to take some of the harshness out of your ride and get a more traction completely worth it in my opinion. Running a bridgstone on the front an motoz arena on the rear. Waiting to see how this system holds up to long term abuse for the 5th star.

Fix the problem of flat tire.

My son has started to race cross country (50 mile hare scramble) and has had a flat the last two races. The first flat was a thorn in the front on the first lap. He was not be able to finish the race because the bike was almost unrideable due to the tire coming off the bead. The second race was a pinched tube in the rear on the second lap due to rocks. It was a really rocky track and we were running 14.5psi instead of the usual 13psi to keep a pinch from happening. Again the tire came off the bead and was really hard to ride. He finished the race but just barely. There is really nothing that can be done about flats short of running mousse bib and there are many reasons I would like to avoid that. I am hoping this setup will lessen the chance of a pinch flat, make track side repairs quicker, and/or keep the bead on so he can at least finish the race.I have mounted the front tire. Prep and install was a little more difficult than a tube but very straight forward. I don’t know if it was the tire or the Tubliss system but I had a hard time getting the bead down into the drop center so the last 10” of the bead was a little harder than usual.I will update both install and performance review when the rear tire arrives and update.
