Not flaming here at all, sir just curious.

Nice bike


Check out the tubeless spoked wheels on the photo Snowwolfe provided. Heck even high end bicycles now have spoked wheels that take tubeless tires.

The puzzle to me is why bother with spokes at all on an Adventure Bike.



The reasoning is spoked wheels are usually made of some sort of malleable steel and that makes them easier to repair in an emergency situation. If a cast wheel breaks off road you are toast.


Makes sense, tks.

I’m wondering if I’m right about the Honda Transalp having tube tires, seems highly unlikely in Honda’s flagship Adventure Bike.
