Crazy motorcycle tires...do we have something like that in NZ ?
I doubt it. It seems very clever idea.
Any taughts ?

Looks like the new form of that goop you could put inside the tyre, except it made the handling bad (and made a massive mess).
I guess the only questions are how much it alters the handling, ie, weight of tyres and their stiffness.
Pah, who needs that. My Pirelli Scorpion Sync never failed, and when the boys took it off, it had a massive nail right through. How it never failed surprised all of us. Happy tho! :first:

Pretty clever stuff, looks good.
Only good for Tubeless tyres though?
I would get that stuff for sure if it was available here in NZ:clap:

That looks great, but if it worked that great, and there was no consequences, then you'd find every manufacturer offering it.
So I suspect there is some bad side effect. And even tyres, you need to be real carefull with modifications.

If you're doing lotsa highway miles, it'd be great.
However (but!) I've only <s>once</s> twice had a puncture that left my bike unrideable. Came out to the gargre at work, and the FahrtSturm was all sad, and wobby. Had to think for a while to decide how I was going to take the wheel off. Worst thing was it was a brand new tyre.
Second time was also a newish tyre. I would've been able to ride to get the tyre fixed, but I pulled the nail out.
The air was stuck to the nail, so when I pulled the nail out, I pulled the air out too. :confused:
If only I'd been more quickwitted, I would've snipped it off...
