Safety First with XLMOTO Motorcycle Tyre Accessories

Are you upgrading the safety of your motorcycle or improving the appearance of its tyres and rims? Whether you run tubed or tubeless tyres, XLMOTO has a range of motorcycle tyre accessories to keep you safe and looking good on and off the road. At XLMOTO, you will find everything from puncture-proof tyre mousse to valve caps, all at great value-for-money prices. As there are several options, let's check out what's on offer.

Tyre mousse

When riding off-road, particularly in an enduro event in deserted areas, the last thing you need is a puncture. Created to take the place of the inner tube, a tyre mousse is a circle of solid foam that goes inside the tyre. The mousse comprises closed foam cells and will not deflate if punctured. This feature is vital when riding through isolated rough terrain. Please note a tyre mousse is not legal for riding on the road.

Inner tubes

Not all riders favour a solid foam insert in their tyres and prefer a traditional inner tube. Although an inner tube will deflate if punctured, it is quite easy to repair. XLMOTO offer a range of heavy-duty inner tubes featuring thicker rubber walls. These offer more penetration protection. Another plus point for inner tubes is unlike a tyre mousse, you can deflate and re-inflate the tyre to suit the terrain.

Rim locks

A rim lock sits underneath the inner tube and holds the tyre in place on the rim. The underneath of the rim lock has an extended bolt with a locking nut. This bolt then fits through a hole in the inside perimeter of the rim. The locking nut on the rim lock's extended bolt is tightened when the inner tube is inflated. The purpose of a rim lock is to prevent the tyre from slipping around the rim under heavy acceleration. These components are popular with off-road riders and are standard fitment on some classic bikes with plenty of low-down torque.

Tyre repair kits

For fixing a puncture in a tubed tyre, the process is straightforward. However, repairing a tubeless tyre is a little more involved. XLMOTO offers a range of tubeless tyre repair kits to make the process as simple as possible and get you back on the road. When choosing a tubeless tyre repair kit, ensure it includes several Co2 canisters to inflate the tyre after repair. XLMOTO repair kits include these small but vital gas canisters, as without them, you will find yourself stukk on the side of the road!

Valve caps

Aftermarket valve caps may seem unnecessary, but the tiny stem in the middle of the valve keeps the air in your tyre. If you ride throughout the year without valve caps, you risk dirt and road grit collecting inside the valve, allowing air to escape. Maintaining the correct air in your motorcycle's tyres is vital for your safety, and XLMOTO tyre valves will help you keep up the pressure in style.

Rim tapes and strips

To remain safe, you must be visible to other road users and reflective rim tape and high viz wheel strips are a sensible addition to your motorcycle.
