Tires, Tubes & Mousses

Motorcycle tires, inner tubes and mousses

This category covers the components that connect a motorcycle to the ground: tires, inner tubes, and mousse or tubeless systems for specific applications. The right choice depends on the motorcycle, wheel size, terrain, and intended use, so always check the manufacturer’s guidance and the specifications marked on the component itself.

Tires differ in their dimensions, tread pattern, and intended use, including road, mixed-surface, trail, and off-road riding. To choose the right one, check the tire’s complete size, front or rear position, mounting direction, and the ratings shown on the sidewall. Also consider the balance between grip, service life, and expected handling on the surfaces you ride most often.

How to choose inner tubes and low-pressure systems

An inner tube must match the wheel’s diameter and width, as well as the valve type and orientation suited to the rim. Before installation, check that it is free from damage and confirm that its dimensions are compatible with the tire. For off-road riding, mousses and tubeless solutions require checking compatibility between the rim, tire, and system, along with following the recommended installation, maintenance, and use procedures.

• Check the diameter, width, and mounting position.
• Read the sidewall markings and technical instructions.
• Check the tire valve, rim, and compatibility before installing an inner tube.
• For mousses or tubeless systems, follow the stated use and maintenance conditions.
