Vee Rubber Tyre VRM308R 400-R18 Trial Tyre Tubeless

The Vee Rubber VRM308R is a rear trials tyre in 400-18, built for the low-speed traction and grip that observed trials and technical off-road riding demand. Its tubeless construction lets riders run the very low pressures trials riding relies on, while the 2-ply casing keeps the carcass pliable enough to conform over rocks, roots and logs.

Because it is road legal, the VRM308R also suits trail and trials-style bikes that need to link sections via public roads. A practical replacement rear for trials machines and enduro-based bikes already running an 18-inch rear wheel.

Have the tyre fitted and balanced by a qualified tyre technician using proper tyre-fitting equipment; levering a tubeless carcass on by hand risks damaging the bead.
Check that the rim is a sealed tubeless-compatible rim in good condition, with a serviceable valve, before running the tyre without a tube.
Set pressures cold and to the pressure recommended by your motorcycle manufacturer or your trials setup; recheck before every ride, as low-pressure trials tyres lose air noticeably over time.
Ride gently for the first outing to scrub off the release agent from the moulding process and let the tyre bed in before pushing for grip.
Inspect the tread and sidewalls regularly for cuts, punctures, embedded stones and bead damage, and have any damage assessed before riding again.
Clean with mild soapy water and a soft brush only. Avoid solvents, petrol and tyre-shine dressings, which can degrade the rubber and reduce grip.
Store spare tyres upright in a cool, dry, dark place away from direct sunlight, ozone sources such as electric motors, and any chemicals.
Replace the tyre when the tread is worn out, if the casing is deformed or cut through, or if the rubber has hardened or cracked with age.
Do not fit a tube inside without confirming compatibility with your rim and setup, and do not exceed the pressure limits marked on the tyre sidewall during seating.
