Tube vs Tubeless on ADV Bikes — The Truth No One Tells You

Why did Honda choose tube tires for the Transalp XL750 in 2025 — when most riders prefer tubeless? In this video, I break down the real reason behind Honda’s decision and why tube-type wheels still make sense for a true Adventure motorcycle. Even though tube tires are often seen as old technology (and many riders hate dealing with them), there’s a solid engineering logic behind using them — especially when you understand what an ADV bike is actually designed to do. We’ll talk about durability, off-road performance, field repair realities, rim strength, and why tube wheels may actually be the better choice when you’re far from pavement and help. If you ride adventure bikes, plan long trips, or own a Honda Transalp XL750, this is information you need to know before choosing your next setup. This is not just tube vs tubeless — this is about understanding the DNA of a real adventure machine. 🏍️ Bike: Honda Transalp XL750 🌎 Real ADV riding perspective ⚙️ Engineering + rider experience 👇 Tell me in the comments: Would you rather have tube or tubeless on your ADV bike?
