1. What Are Tubeless Tyres?
Tubeless tyres are exactly what they sound like — no inner tube required. Instead, the tyre seals directly to the rim, and a liquid sealant fills any small gaps or punctures automatically.
2. Why KZN Riders Are Making the Switch
Cycling in KwaZulu-Natal means tackling everything from smooth tar to rugged trails. Here’s why tubeless makes sense:
Fewer punctures: Sealant fills small holes instantly
Lower tyre pressure: Better grip and comfort, especially on off-road terrain
Improved performance: Less rolling resistance = faster ride
More confidence on trails: Great for mountain biking in areas like Giba Gorge and Karkloof
3. Is It Worth the Cost?
While the initial setup may be slightly more expensive, the long-term savings on tubes and reduced maintenance make tubeless tyres a smart investment.
At Hattons Umhlanga, we help you choose the right tubeless-ready rims, tyres, and sealant — and we can fit it for you too.
4. Who Should Go Tubeless?
Mountain bikers: Ideal for aggressive or technical trails
Gravel riders: Better traction and comfort on mixed terrain
Road cyclists: Seeking speed and reduced flat risk
Whether you’re racing, training, or just exploring Durban’s coastlines, tubeless improves your ride.
