  • Due to the lack of a hose creates a weight advantage
  • An air loss due to the so-called hose punches Snake bites is no longer possible
  • The air pressure of the tire can be selected to be lower than in a tube system, which increases ride comfort and traction on soft surfaces (such as sand and mud )
  • A hole can easily be corrected through the use of conventional patch
  • By lower air pressure, the shell does not prevent a direct pass-through to the rim. Here, the rim flange may be damaged.
  • Arise broken spokes in system wheels higher cost than a conventional wheel with tube
  • A tubeless system requires special wheels and tires
  • Mounting the tire requires some experience and extreme care
