Weight: 330 grams (each) ----- no thank you!

 

MSRP: €249 (pair inc. valves and tubeless fluid) +- R3600.00 ----- no way!

 

Might as well find some old school permatubes or cut a pool noodle to fit.

We have been using very similar on enduro motorbikes for years, call them mousses.

You will have to store bike hanging to prevent flat spots, they need lube regularly, they are heavy and they will overheat on tar and degrade faster.

I will be sticking with tubeless for the foreseable future thank you, I had to stop atleast 6 times on cycles legs at EA to pull thorns and cactus out of my legs, bike did over 300km of cycling with nothing but some chain lube at transitions so really tubeless is pretty solid as is. I would run bicycle tubeless on my enduro bike if it would work, sadly it doesn't.

for that price ... I would rather stay tubeless, don't get enough punctures to justify that cost

But permatubes were really crap!

Sigh. It's still tubeless. Just with a foam insert. You still have to inflate the tyre, and there's no tube in the system.
