Airless tires, non-pneumatic tires (NPT), or flat-free tires are tires that are not supported by air pressure. [1] [2] [3] They can be used on small vehicles such as ride-on lawn mowers and motorized golf carts. They also are used on heavy equipment required to operate on sites where risk of tire punctures is high.
A clincher bicycle tire mounted on a wheel A cross section of a clincher tire with a puncture-preventing layer (in blue) between the casing and the tread An inner tube rolled up for storage or to be carried as a spare. A bicycle tire is a tire that fits on the wheel of a bicycle or similar vehicle.
The Dunlop valve, (also called a Woods valve, an English valve or a Blitz valve [1]) is a type of pneumatic valve stem in use—mostly on inner tubes of bicycles—in many countries, including Japan, [2] Korea, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, most European countries, and a number of developing countries.
A tubeless tire (also spelled as tubeless tyre in Commonwealth English) is a pneumatic tire that does not require a separate inner tube.. Unlike pneumatic tires which use a separate inner tube, tubeless tires have continuous ribs molded integrally into the bead of the tire that are forced by air pressure into a flange on the metal rim of the wheel, sealing the tire to the rim.
More recently, tubeless clincher tires have become popular after their successful presence on mountain bikes for the last several years. Advantages include lower overall wheel weight (no inner tube), lower tire pressures allowing for more traction without risk of a 'pinch flat' and no glue as required for tubular tires.
Flat bar road bikes are road bikes fitted with mountain bike-style shifters, brake levers, and a flat handlebar. They fit into the continuum between hybrids and road bikes. Gravel bicycle is a road bicycle designed for riding on gravel and other rough terrain. It has a more slack geometry and fatter tires than a road bike.
