Great tube so far!
Gave this tube five star, because unlike my Maxxis tube, this hasn't split at the seam yet. .

Common questions
Why is the overlap splice better than a butt splice?
Overlap splices are stronger and more durable under load, reducing the risk of pinhole leaks at the seam compared to standard butt-splice tubes, which is crucial for off-road use.
What does it mean the splice is opposite the valve stem?
The splice is positioned 180 degrees away from the valve stem to balance tube flex and vibration during the ride, extending service life and contributing to a smoother feel.
Will this HD tube fit my V-twin motorcycle?
This tube is sized 90/1990-2021 HD. Please confirm your specific tire size using our Shop by Bike tool or by checking your tire's sidewall before ordering to ensure correct fitment.
