Motorcycle tyre changers – Rim sizes 16" to 21"
Tyre changers specifically designed for motorcycle tyres enable gentle and fast mounting from 16 to 21 inches. Find suitable models here for motorcycle workshops, motorcycle dealers and tyre service companies with a motorcycle focus.
What distinguishes motorcycle tyre changers:
- Adapted clamping technology: Motorcycles are clamped differently from car wheels – special adapters and holders enable secure attachment.
- Gentle rim handling: Motorcycle rims are often visually high-quality – soft mounting heads and gentle support materials protect chrome and alloy rims.
- Compact design: Motorcycle tyre changers are generally more compact than car machines – ideal for specialised motorcycle workshops.
Motorcycle Tyre Changers: Special Features and Selection
Motorcycle tyres differ from car tyres in their round profile, specific bead shape and different clamping requirements. A standard car tyre changer is usually unsuitable for motorcycle tyres – the clamping mechanism and mounting head are designed for car wheels and can damage motorcycle rims.
Which rim sizes are typical for motorcycles?
Motorcycle rim sizes range from 16 inches for touring models, through 17 inches as the standard sports tyre size, to 19 or 21 inches for adventure motorcycles and enduro machines. Scooters and mopeds often have 12 to 16 inch rims. The motorcycle tyre changer must cover the full range of your motorcycle customer base.
Can a car tyre changer also be used for motorcycles?
Some car tyre changers can be converted for motorcycle wheels with special adapter kits. This is economical if the proportion of motorcycle tyres is small. For specialised motorcycle workshops with regular motorcycle tyre changes we recommend a dedicated motorcycle tyre changer for better ergonomics and faster workflows.
