TVS Apache RTR180 Service Information Manual page 4

1. GENERAL INFORMATION
SPECIAL FEATURES - TUBELESS TYRES
RTR 180 is the first vehicle from the house of TVS Motor Company with tubeless tyres on both front and rear wheels. The
tubeless tyre does not have any inner tube. Only the tubeless tyre is mounted on the rim. The inner layer of the tyre (inner
liner) acts as a tube. The valve is directly fixed on to the rim with proper sealing. The wheel rim and tyre once assembled
properly become air tight.
ADVANTAGE OF TUBELESS TYRES
1. Lower rolling resistance due to absense of tube, Uniform air retention and hence better dynamic stability.
2. More safe for high speed blowout incase of a Puncture or tube bursting.
3. The puncture repairing time is very less as compared to conventional tyre and tube.
For details on puncture repairing procedure and Servicing of valve etc., refer "Chassis chapter"
