Does the Transalp's lack of tubeless wheels limit its adventure potential?
One of the most talked-about features (or lack thereof) on the new Honda XL750 Transalp is its use of tubed wheels instead of tubeless. This decision has sparked considerable debate among adventure riders and potential buyers. Tubeless wheels are often preferred for their ease of repair in case of punctures, especially in remote areas, and the ability to run lower tire pressures for improved off-road traction. However, tubed wheels are generally considered more robust and can be easier to repair in extreme conditions with basic tools. The Transalp's use of tubed wheels has led to discussions about its true off-road capabilities and whether this choice significantly impacts its adventure touring potential. Some argue that it's a deal-breaker for serious adventure riding, while others believe it's a non-issue for the type of riding most Transalp owners will do.
It's not ideal, but it's not a deal breaker either. Most riders won't notice the difference, and tubes are easier to fix in the middle of nowhere.
