The tubeless spoke wheel accessory for the motorcycle was first introduced in September 2024, after a lengthy homologation process. The introduction of this accessory was after multiple reports from customers who expressed anxiety about punctures. The tubeless units come in the same size and spec as the regular tube-spoke wheels – 90/90 21-inch up front and 140/80 R 17. New buyers can add tubeless wheels to their motorcycle via the ‘Make it Yours’ (MiY) customisation tool.
