Info help - Wheel options

[Terry Jackson]

On the touring and softtail models, some list the steel laced wheel as standard, with a "Tubeless Chrome Aluminum Profile Laced" as an option.

I can't find any info on these wheels.
What would be the advantages?
What do they weigh, compared to the stock wheels?
Would they be worth the extra money?

I can't find the info on the HD site anywhere.

The two quick advantages are no tube and the ability to plug the tire if you get a puncture. Tubeless tires run a little cooler and that will make them last a little longer.

I agree, Also with tubes when/if you have a puncture the tire will go flat almost immediately, Where a tubeless holds air quite a bit longer before going completely flat.

Steel laced needs tubes. Same spoke wheels that have been used for years.
The Softail Deluxe and Heritage Softail Classic will be available with a new optional “tubeless” Chrome Aluminum Profile Laced wheel option for ease of tire replacement and repair. No tube and chrome over aluminum.
