FAQs
What type of tires is Motul Tubeless Tyre Sealant for?
It is designed exclusively for tubeless bicycle tires, including road, city, conventional, and electric bikes.
Can I use this sealant in tires with inner tubes?
No, this product is specifically formulated for tubeless tire systems and is not compatible with inner tubes.
How long does the sealant last?
The long-lasting formula is effective for up to 9 months in temperate climates. Performance may vary in extreme temperature conditions.
What size punctures can this sealant fix?
It is effective at sealing small to medium punctures. Larger cuts or sidewall damage may not be sealed by the liquid alone.
How do I apply the sealant?
You can pour it directly into the tire before fully seating the bead, or inject it through the valve stem (with the core removed). Ensure even distribution by rotating and bouncing the wheel.
Is the sealant environmentally friendly?
Yes, the formula is fully biodegradable.
What is the benefit of using tire sealant?
It prevents small to medium punctures, helps maintain optimal tire pressure, and extends the overall lifespan of your tubeless tires.
Troubleshooting
Tire continues to lose air after sealant application.
Ensure the puncture is small to medium. Larger cuts may not seal effectively. Check the tire bead for a proper seal. Reapply sealant if necessary or consider a tire plug for larger damage.
Sealant appears clumpy or dried out inside the tire.
This can happen if the sealant has exceeded its lifespan or has been exposed to air for too long. Clean out the old sealant and apply a fresh dose. Ensure the valve core is properly seated to minimize air exposure.
Difficulty seating tubeless tire.
Ensure enough sealant is present to help create an initial seal along the bead. Use a compressor or CO2 inflator if available. Check that the rim tape is intact and creating a good seal.
