That looks cool. Would probably be even better on an offroad bike. How do we get some?
I wish i knew where to get them but i would love if all the major manufacturers would start offering this technology.

Self sealing tire technology is nothing new although this is the first I have seen it on a bike. At present Uniroyal, Goodyear and Continental offer this technology and there may be a few more. The VW Passat has them from the factory. I wonder how these tires handle....

That's pretty freakin cool!!
I don't think the cops like 'em, that's one way to get around those spike strips.
Wowsers! I want some!

The police spike strips have pretty huge nails which this gel will take some time to seal or not.

The latest "Stop Sticks" used in the UK are made from hollow tubes that break off in the tyre & cause any tyre to deflate immeadiately.
I had seen this on car tires but also never on a bike tire, seems like a bike causes more of a danger to get a flat than a car tire though. excellent that they are at least testing the technology on bikes.

Flats don't bother me, it's the blow out that gets my attention in terms of what if. Most of these are supposed to seal up to 5mm and that ain't much but it is better than nothing....

take a look at these... I remember seeing this article about 6-7 months ago.

I saw those a while ago too, interesting concept, but i would worry about the "flexible spokes" wearing out and possibly even breaking a few after time.
The ultimate low profile tire!!!
