Quote: FTS is the solution introducing "Tubeless" to the world of off‐ road. Firmly committed to the benefits guaranteed by the tubeless sys tem in terms of performance, weight and consistent performance, Marco Caribotti has invested heavily over the past two years in this revolutionary idea, which marks a turning point in the off‐road world. Without using special wheels or additional systems, all the advantagesof tubeless are combined in one tyre, without the downside of being unsuitable for off‐road use . The FTS is a tubeless tyre that can be mounted to any wheel with spokes without needing additional devices. The wheel contains the air thanks to a special membrane applied in the molding phase, making it a single piece with the tyre. The FTS tyre guarantees great safety and protection from punctures and cuts, thanks to a composite material layer, which allows use even at very low pressures (0.7 to 0.8 bar) without risking "snake bite" from the rims on the air chambers. It is resistant to punctures and anti-puncture sealants can also be used, which ensures self‐repair even on punctures or cuts.
All the advantages of the FTS "Flite Tubeless System" by Goldentyre: no need for special rims, no beading of the tire, reduced weight. The weight is similar to a tyre with a 3 mm inner tube. It is lighter compared to using mousses, possibility of calibrating the pressure according to the demands of the road surface, compared to using mousses, containment of the tyre's temperature, as there is no friction on the pneumatic, for increased durability and performance, easy to mount, even simpler that an inner tube. excellent driving feel, precise, light, stable.
The FTS Goldentyre system provides some exciting results and an excellent performance for off‐road tyres, especially for motocross and rally, front as well as rear. Great temperature stability is guaranteed as the tubeless tyre is free from the usual frictions generated when using the tyre/inner tube or pneumatic/ mousse. This makes the system especially attractive for the major Rally Raids where temperature often causes premature wear on the tire due to the increased pressure when using the inner tube or the mousse.
A special precautions to take when using the FTS system is to have a fully working tyre clamp. In the case of extremely low pressures and with particularly powerful motorbikes, using 2 tyre clamps is recommended. |
