This 40-spoke wheel offers a smart, finished appearance for your motorcycle. The wheel has a particularly unique feature—the sealed spokes. Normally a tube-type tire needs to be used with a conventionally spoked wheel, but this Moto Iron wheel does not require a tube to be used, expanding your selection of compatible tires.

Moto Iron wheels also stand out due to the hub construction—rather than the three-piece, welded steel hubs you'll find on most other wheels, Moto Iron wheels feature a one-piece, precision-CNC-machined aluminum hub for strength, exceptional appearance, and dimensional consistency.

For safety and ease of mounting, we recommend using a tube-type, vintage-construction tire with all Moto Iron spoked wheels. This is primarily due to the high aspect ratio—the generous sidewall makes mounting fairly easy. 

The wheels accept tubeless tires due to the sealed spoke design. However, the seal's additional thickness reduces the effective depth of the drop center. That reduction, coupled with modern tires that can feature stiff sidewalls, may make the installation of some tire and wheel combinations challenging.

Due to this, TC Bros. is not responsible for damage caused by attempts to install modern tires with short, stiff sidewalls onto Moto Iron spoked wheels.
