A tubeless tyre no longer needs an inner tube to be inflated. Tubeless tyres and tubeless-compatible rims are designed to create an airtight seal.
To set up tubeless correctly, you must use tubeless-ready tyres and rims, along with a tubeless valve and sealant.
Tubeless tyres are available for almost every cycling discipline.
For both MTB and road riding, tubeless systems offer clear advantages:
- Lower rolling resistance compared to tube setups
- Improved comfort thanks to lower pressures
- Better grip and control, especially on rough surfaces
- Reduced pinch-flat risk
- Enhanced puncture protection when used with sealant
Combining a tubeless tyre with quality sealant provides an excellent balance of performance, comfort, and reliability.
