Flying Brick was excited to be asked to import a set (front & rear) of Rally Raid Tubeless Rims for the BMW 310GS, from the Rally Raid in the UK. Total cost of around R25,5K – a lot of money – but customer wanted SPOKED, yet TUBELESS rims!

TUBELESS WHEEL KIT (ALLOW 3-4 WEEKS FOR SHIPPING OCT 2018)
Rally Raid have designed, developed and manufactured their own heavy-duty, tubeless spoked wheels for the new BMW G310GS, based on their rally & adventure experiences. These Rally Raid Tubeless Rims are an improvement over the tubed versions. This is because we prefer to run tubeless tyres on an adventure motorcycle of this size. Tubeless tires makes activities such as repairing punctures much easier than those with inner tubes fitted.
All of their wheels use stainless steel heavy duty spokes and plated brass nipples.
Both front and rear hubs are manufactured from 6082T6 billet aluminum alloy, and black anodized for a durable finish.
Each upgrade kit consists of:
Rear wheel: 17” x 3.50-36 hole, a black or gold powder-coated aluminum rim, and heavy-duty stainless steel spokes and CNC machined billet. Furthermore, the rear wheel also includes a black anodized, aluminum RRP hub. This hub accepts the OEM cush drive, rubbers and brake components (including ABS).
Front wheel: 19” x 2.50-36 hole, black or gold powder-coated aluminum rim, and heavy-duty stainless steel spokes and CNC machined billet. Additionally, the front wheel also includes a new ABS ring, a black anodized, aluminum RRP hub and dedicated disc spider. These accept the OEM brake components.
Both wheels are supplied with high-quality, sealed roller bearings and seals.
Benefits of the Rally Raid Wheel Kit:
- Rear hub is designed to work with the OEM cush drive and rubbers.
- The rear hub/rim is 36 spoke pattern, much stronger and resistant to flex.
- Hubs supplied with bearings & seals.
- Both front & rear hubs designed to work with OEM discs, rear ABS ring and OEM screws.
- High-tensile “Bulldog” spokes are 33% larger cross section, and consequently 60% stronger tensile strength than the OEM plated mild steel spokes, plus they are corrosion-proof.
- Nipples are nickel-plated brass, again, corrosion-proof, maintenance free.
Both wheels are professionally sealed with a tubeless conversion by Bartubeless, with a 4 year warranty on each wheel. Both rims are high-grade aluminum alloy, with tubeless “bump” for correct sealing.
The rim sizes are 19″ x 2,50 front and 17″ x 3,50 rear, 36 spoke hole pattern. This product is available in either a black or gold powder-coat.
Rally Raid favours the powder-coat rather than anodizing. This is because a powder-coat is more durable, and less resistant to marking when riding off-road, or changing tyres. Furthermore, they can also be “touched up” with paint if required, if they do happen to get damaged.
