CRF1000L H/D Tubeless 21"/18" Wheels-RRP 593

PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU ARE PLACING AN ORDER ON A SET OF HUBS, THESE WILL THEN BE BUILT AND SEALED TAKING UP TO 8 WEEKS POST ORDER

We have designed, developed and manufactured our own heavy-duty, tubeless spoked wheels for the new Honda CRF1000L Africa Twin and Adventure Sport, based on our rally & adventure experiences.

NOTE: THESE WHEEL KITS WILL NOT FIT 2020 AFRICA TWIN ADVENTURE SPORT MODEL.

These are a big improvement over the tubed OEM versions, as we prefer to run tubeless tyres on an adventure motorcycle of this size, as repairing punctures can be much easier than those with inner tubes fitted.

The OEM Honda wheels, which use plated steel spokes and nipples, have had corrosion problems so we have addressed this by using stainless steel heavy duty spokes and plated brass nipples.

Both front and rear hubs are manufactured from 6082T6 billet aluminium alloy, and black anodised for a durable finish.

Benefits of our wheel kit:

• Rear hub is designed to work with the OEM cush drive and rubbers.

• Rear rim is slightly wider, 18"x4,25 rather than the narrower 18"x4.00 OEM rim, to give a broader choice of tubeless tyres. Our rear hub/rim is 36 spoke pattern, rather than the OEM 32 spoke design, much stronger and resistant to flex.

• Hubs supplied with bearings & seals, the front hub uses oversize bearings, same as the OEM rear,(because the OEM front hub has smaller bearings than the CB500X, to give more strength, and less spare parts to be carried.

• Both front & rear hubs designed to work with OEM discs.

• The front hub is designed so that it is possible to move the ABS ring over to the opposite side, then turn the wheel round, to even out knobblie pattern tyre wear on long trips.

• High-tensile "Bulldog" spokes are 33% larger cross section, and consequently 60% stronger tensile strength than the OEM plated mild steel spokes, plus they are corrosion-proof.

• Nipples are nickel-plated brass, again, corrosion-proof, maintenance free.

Both wheels are professionally sealed with a tubeless conversion by Bartubeless, with a 4 year warranty on each wheel.

Both rims are high-grade aluminium alloy, with tubeless "bump" for correct sealing.

The rim sizes are 21"x2.15 front and 18"x4.25 rear, 36 spoke hole pattern, and are available in either black or gold powder-coat.

We have used these wheels for over 12 months now in rallies such as Illyria Rally, and with Rocky Mountain Adventure Bike Touring Company in Canada in order to prove our design and strength, and the Bartubeless conversion is something we have been using on our CB500X Adventure wheel kits for 3 years with zero problems.

DO NOT USE ACID, OR ALKALI-BASED WHEEL CLEANERS TO REMOVE DIRT AND BRAKE DUST, AS THESE CAN CORRODE AND REMOVE THE POWDER-COATING AND TARNISH THE STAINLESS-STEEL AND NICKEL-PLATED BRASS NIPPLES. USE A PH-NUETRAL CLEANER, OR SOAP AND WATER.

DO NOT USE "SLIME" TYPE PUNCTURE SEALANTS CONTINUALLY, ONLY IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY REPAIR, AS THE CAUSTIC EFFECT OF THE SEALANTS CAN PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE INTERNAL ALLOY RIM FACE AND CAUSE LEAKAGE ON THE BARTUBELESS RUBBER SEAL BAND.

All tyres are tubeless but can be fitted with a tube if required.

All front tyres are of cross ply construction and rear tyres are of radial or cross ply biased construction.

Most off Road tyres are cross ply biased construction on  the rears with both flexibility and strength for off road applications. They carry a lower speed rating of Q or T which equals 160kmh or 190kmh respectively.

All tyres have the same load rating of 54 front and 70 rear equating to 212kg and 335kg respectively.

Winter Fitment tyres are manufactured with high levels of silica in the compound. They give improved grip in very cold conditions and remain durable even in warm weather.
