TUBLISS
Yes, you heard right! TUbliss means no more tubes in your motocross tires. TUbliss — the greatest invention for motocross in years. Completely eliminate that old tube and old tube thinking!

TUbliss
TUbliss® is a full circumference pneumatic rim lock which secures the entire tire bead to the rim, completely eliminating the use of a conventional tube!

Sure, we know what you're thinking. You're looking at the photo and saying "I get it! I put that in my tire and the tube over it." Wrong. It's a whole new way to ride. The age of the tube is over.

TUbliss® completely replaces the conventional tube while delivering several key performance features that's scoring points and lap times with racers and riders everywhere.

Benefits
Virtually flat proof
Runs cooler
Quicker acceleration
No pinched tubes
Reduces unsprung weight
Secures tire bead

WEIGHT SAVINGS
A weight savings of up to 3 pounds per wheel instantly translates into less rotating weight and increases acceleration. Less unsprung weight allows significant suspension performance gains. Experts say that eliminating a pound of rotating unsprung weight is equivalent to dropping 5 pounds of static weight!

ELIMINATE FLATS FROM PINCHED TUBES
You have no tubes to be concerned with, so you'll never pinch a tube! Replace old technology with a stronger, modern and efficient system. Even if you get a tire puncture, the bead stays seated to the rim.

VIRTUALLY FLAT PROOF
TUbliss really is virtually flat proof when used with a tire sealant. Sealants can't work on tubes where holes in the rubber stretch and tear. With TUbliss, your sealant works directly on the tire where it matters. Plus, the design of TUbliss helps keep the tire on the seated on the bead and sidewalls more stable, virtually making "flat wobbles" a thing of the past. Riders have reported riding longer and harder, completely unaware that they had a tire puncture.

IMPROVED TRACTION
Tubliss® secures the bead so securely that it allows a low tire pressure for improved straight line traction without the risk of a pinch flat or tire bead slippage!

RUNS COOLER
Without the weight and friction of a conventional tube installed, tire temperatures are greatly reduced. This also eliminates tire pressure increases during the course of a moto.

RIM PROTECTION
TUbliss protects the rim from dings and dents by holding the tire firmly and making the sidewalls stay upright and absorb the full impact, unlike bending and deflection of conventional tubes.

Has anyone tried one of these yet?

I am curious to how the feel on the track?

If they feel similar to current tires, I dunno why anyone would want anything else if they are "as advertised".

Considering i carry the nickname "flattire" i'd be very interested in hearing some reviews.

[PU300]

I'll give them a try....ADDICT how do you feel about sponsoring a Vet A rider..

“FYI”, I have personally tested the 19” Tubliss system on a 2007 Gas Gas MC250, and was overjoyed on how easy it was to install as opposed to the Michelin Bib sys.
We ran the rear tire with low pressure and it still had a good feel to it. We tried different pressures and it felt great! I’ve gone through water crossings, Rock beds, Street curbs (at speed), roots, Flat landings, No Problems Mate! Forget the hype, I want people to be happy with the products I represent. PERIOD!

Note: With the Reviews from MXA (5 Star), supply and demand is very High, almost as bad as the Leatt Neck Braces. It’s claming down some, but you still might have to pre-book the Tubliss size you want from your Texas dealer. 19”, 18”, 21”


Here is the article from MXA July 2007 with a little more info.
WHAT IS IT?
The Nuetech TUbliss (pronounced Tubeless) tire system is a winner of an idea.
WHAT'S IT COST?
$99.99 (with inner liner and install plate)—Have your dealer contact Scott @ (985)788-3001.
WHAT'S IT DO?
You may remember Nuetech’s unusual bent handlebar end pieces. The MXA wrecking crew wasn’t totally enamored with Nuetech’s A.P.E. bar ends, but we absolutely love their latest creation—the TUbliss tire system.
Tubeless motocross tires have been around for 20 years (on works bikes), but they have never seen the cash register side of a motorcycle shop. Why? Making a tubeless motocross tire was too complicated. It required a special rim (to keep the air lock tight), a rubber sealing bladder (to eliminate leakage around the spoke nipples) and messy sealant (to keep sidewall flex from burping air pressure). The problem areas were so numerous that most companies shelved the idea of tubeless motocross tires—except for Nuetech!
WHAT STANDS OUT?
Here's a list of things that stand out with Nuetech’s TUbliss tire system.
(1) Problem areas. Jeff Douglas solved the problems that stymied Dunlop by applying innovative thinking. Instead of using a special rim, rubber bladder and tacky sealant, the TUbliss tire system makes any existing rim and tire combination tubeless without all the extra foof.
(2) The concept. In the simplest terms, instead of trying to seal the rim to keep air in the tire, Nuetech sealed the gap between the two tire beads with a special rubber inner liner (which is a fancy way of saying bicycle tire). You read that right! By putting a one-off bicycle tire in the center of the rim and inflating it, the gap at the bottom of the tire is sealed, making the tire an airtight chamber (sans a tube). It turns the outer tire into the motocross equivalent of a bicycle’s tubular sew-up tire.
(3) Pluses. This is a great idea for three reasons: first, without a tube inside the tire, the Nuetech-equipped wheel is 1-1/2 pounds lighter than a stock wheel. Saving a pound and a half of rotating, unsprung weight is awesome, phenomenal and unbelievable. Second, even if you get a sidewall tear, you can ride the Nuetech TUbliss tire flat. We raced a full moto on a flat tire. Although the bike didn’t handle very well, we finished the moto with the tire on the rim. Third, without the weight and friction of the tube rubbing against the tire carcass, tire temperatures were greatly reduced (which means that tire pressure doesn’t increase as much during the course of a moto).
(4) Minuses. There aren’t any downsides on the track. Every test rider commented on how responsive the suspension and engine were with 1-1/2 pounds removed from the rear wheel. When you add the performance advantages to the lighter weight, run-flat capabilities and heat reduction, you have a product that should be on every race bike in America.
WHAT'S THE SQUAWK?
There is a learning curve to mounting the TUbliss tire system, but it is easily mastered. Over a three-month period, we ran three sets of TUbliss tires and never had a problem.

Frequently Asked Tubliss Questions

How much lighter are they then tubes?
2.5 Pounds lighter then heavy duty tubes and approximately 14 ounces lighter that stock tubes. Tube thickness' and weights vary from manufactures. It's important to note that for every pound you can lose of rotating unsprung weight is equivalent to dropping 5 pounds of static weight!

How long does TUbliss last?
A VERY LONG TIME, (maybe too long) we say they last 10-20 times longer than tubes. However in 5 years of testing hundreds of them, we have yet to wear ANY out.

Can I use a tire sealant in the tire with TUbliss?
YES! For off-road situations or when you are concerned with punctures, we highly recommend the use of a sealant in your tire. With the tire being tubeless, tire sealants work AWESOME because there is substantially thicker rubber for it to clog up and be effective. Your tire is reinforced, so a hole does NOT stretch like a conventional tube. Again it works very well in a tubeless situation. Try it and see!

How hard is it to install & change tires?
Installing the TUbliss CORE on the rim should take under 10 minutes (including drilling the 10mm hole for the New rim lock). After that, everyone that had tried it agrees that changing tires is MUCH easier. IT IS DIFFERENT, BUT EASIER, SO READ & FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS! Don't take shortcuts. Because you don't have to worry about damaging an inner-tube with the tire irons, you can just go at it and get 'er done!

Does the black tube really squeeze in between the liner and that black stem thing?
It's common to assume that the black inner tube floats freely inside the liner, but that is wrong. During installation, yes, you fit the inner tube so it's pressed between the red liner and the black rubber housing for the rim lock stem.

Can it be punctured?
It's rubber and pneumatic, so yes, it can be punctured. But know that this is VERY RARE. The outer cover is 3mm thick and the tube is 2.2mm thick, so it's thick & tough. In the last 4 years of testing we have only punctured ONE! Also if you do puncture one you only have to replace the $5.95 inner tube.

send me a free or discounted sample and I will check it out and review...


Hmm maybe not after reading install instructions...not to keen on drilling holes in my rim....

Most rims have a 8mm rim lock hole, and with the TUbliss rim lock needing a 10mm opening, it is no big deal if you have the right drill bit. Honda Stock rims come with a 14mm rim lock opening. TUbliss has been testing this product for serveral years with no mention of Rim Failure whatsoever.
Tubliss / Nuetech has had several top SX / National, WORCS riders, as well as Paid Tire Testers using the TUbliss System with no Negative feedback.

I must have read through the directions to quick, so you are possibly only enlarging the stock rim lock hole if it's not already 10mm...right? You are not drilling a new hole in your rim.

After market rims routinely come with extra rim lock holes too and they are oversized to begin with. That shouldn't scare you away from them.
(FYI I havent read the installation instructions either)

Correct!

You are "NOT" drilling a new rim lock hole.

Consider PU300's idea. maybe he can do a full-blown txmotocross test on them.
