As tested in Rider Magazine! They
put 9 holes in their tyres and kept
on riding!
“Unlike aerosol roadside repairs and
even slime, the popular sealant
favored by bicyclists and off-road
riders, Ride-On’s chemicals do not
adversely affect aluminum rims. This
is worth considering. Over 8045 Km
and a variety of driving conditions,
I found no discernible effect –
positive or negative – upon wheel
balance or any other area of
performance .... just a giant gain
in a tyre’s ability to hold air in
the presence of sharp metal
objects.”

Not Another Tyre Sealant...
Tyre sealants are old business – they have been on the
market for more than 50 years.
Although many of the sealants
available on the market do a decent
job of sealing punctures, they can
occasionally create more problems
than they solve. Some tyre sealants
have been known to cause corrosion,
balancing problems, and damage to
the inner liners of tyres. Many
sealants also leave residues that
are difficult to clean out, and thus
prevent patches and plugs from
properly adhering to tyres.
INOVEX Industries, Inc. has earned
its reputation by providing the
world’s most advanced tyre sealing
solutions to commercial and
professional fleets. Ride-On TPS in
the USA is currently used by more
than 60 municipalities, cities,
counties, and government agencies
and more than 350 commercial firms
located in over 39 states and 9
countries. Ride-On TPS is also used
in more than 4,000 police vehicles
and motorcycles. These fleets have
purchased and depend on the Ride-On
TPS products to protect their fleet
and ensure that their vehicle
downtime is kept at a minimum.
How does Ride-On work?
While you ride, a protective layer
of Ride-On TPS - a tyre sealant
containing fibers six times stronger
than steel - evenly coats the inner
surface of your tyre. If your tyre
is punctured, the centrifugal force
of the rotating tyre and the
internal air pressure force Ride-On
into the hole, sealing it virtually
instantly.
With Ride-On TPS tyre sealant, your
tyre literally fixes itself! And
since it stops slow leaks the moment
they start, your tyres always stay
properly inflated. Your tyres last
longer, your bike handles better,
and your fuel economy improves, a
safer ride.
Ride-On is designed to seal
punctures from objects up to 3.175
mm in diameter in the tread area of
your tyre. Due to a tyre’s inner
curvature, Ride-On will not seal
sidewall damage, or damage near the
shoulder of the tyre (the outside
38.09 mm of the tyre tread).
If a tyre has a cut, impact break,
bruise, bulge, snag, or sidewall
damage, take the tyre out of service
and have it inspected by a
professional tyre care specialist.

Cruisers, Motocross, Trikes,

Works in Tubes and Tubeless Tyres
Ride-On TPS will eliminate 85-95% of
your flats in tubeless tyres from
objects up to 6.3 mm (3.175 mm for
tube tyres) that penetrate the
contact area of your tyre. Ride-On’s
efficiency in tube tyres is reduced
to 55-65% since puncturing objects
often tear the tube. It is
impossible for a tyre sealant to
seal a tear. It is vital to remove
the puncturing object immediately
from a tyre containing a tube to
prevent further damage that can
result in tearing the tube.

Repair vs Replacement
Our company takes the position that
any repair in a motorcycle tyre
should be treated as a temporary
repair. We recommend that as soon as
possible after finding an object in
your tyre, you have the tyre
inspected by a professional. If the
recommendation is for fixing the
puncture or replacing the tyre, then
you should do so. Ride-On will not
interfere with the application of
conventional tyre plug and patch
repairs, and can easily be washed
out of tyres with water.
What Should You Do if You Find a
Nail or a Screw in Your Tyre?
Inspect your tyres regularly for
perforating objects or other damage.
Look for and remove any stones, bits
of glass, metal, or other foreign
objects wedged in the tread – these
may work their way deeper into the
tyre and eventually cause a
puncture. Also check your tyres
closely for signs of uneven wear
patterns. Uneven wear may be caused
by improper inflation, misalignment,
tyre imbalance, or damaged
suspension parts. If the cause of
the uneven wear is not corrected,
further tyre damage will occur.
Certain uneven wear patterns may
also indicate that the tyre has
suffered internal or structural
damage; such damage requires
immediate attention from a
professional tyre care specialist.
If you notice that an object has
punctured your tyre tread, drive
your bike for 5-8 Km’s to warm up
the tyres. Remove the puncturing
object and immediately drive your
motorcycle for 3-5 Km’s, so that
Ride-On can work its way into and
seal the puncture. Although Ride-On
is effective from 4°C to 121°C (tyre
temperature), please note that it
works best once your tyres have
warmed up. For maximum safety, have
a tyre professional inspect (and if
necessary, repair or replace) your
tyre as soon as possible after a
puncture. Ride-On will not interfere
with the application of conventional
tyre plug and patch repairs, and can
easily be washed out of tyres with
water.
You may be wondering why you need to
remove puncturing objects from your
tyre tread, given that Ride-On forms
an effective seal around such
objects. The reason is that if an
object is left in the tyre, it will
shift as the tyre rotates,
eventually creating a larger hole
and causing further damage to the
tyre or tube. Please note that if an
object has been in the tyre for a
long time, it may take some time for
the puncture cavity to close. (This
is because rubber has “memory,”
which causes it to conform to the
shape of the puncturing object.) In
this case, the tyre may temporarily
lose some air until it is sealed.
Note also that if the puncturing
object is a screw, you must unscrew
it - yanking or pulling the screw
will tear the rubber and possibly
the steel belts.
Balancing and Ride and Stability
Issues
The product manufactured by our
leading competitor was originally
designed for use in bicycle tyres,
and according to their website is
“not intended for speeds in excess
of 120 Km/h. Ride-On is designed to
actually help hydro dynamically
balance tyres at highway speeds.
Once installed in a tyre, it will
actually act to dampen vibrations
for the life of a tyre so you do not
need periodic rebalancing. Although
we don’t condone speeding, our
dealers and customers comment that
their bikes actually run smoother at
speeds as high as 241 Km/h. Ride-On
should be installed in tyres and
wheels that have been professionally
mounted and balanced. Once
installed, you should not try to
rebalance a tyre containing Ride-On
– just let it do what it is
formulated to do!
Will Ride-On Harm My Wheels or Tyres?
Ride-On is designed to be
non-hazardous and non-flammable, and
contains corrosion inhibitors that
protect all alloys of steel,
aluminum, magnesium, and yellow
metals against oxidation. Although
some of our competitors’ products
have been documented as causing
corrosion, Ride-On enjoys a
reputation for being completely
compatible with all types of wheels
and tyres. Ride-On is currently sold
by six of the ten largest commercial
tyre dealers in the USA. They
install our products into the tyres
of their commercial customers, who
demand that the products not harm
their aluminum or steel wheels. As
their tyres can last upwards of 400
000 Kms, the fact that Ride-On is
designed to not harm tyre ply
materials or cause loss of adhesion
strength helps those customers
retain tyres for the fullest life
possible. Letters from manufacturers
such as Michelin, Goodyear,
Bridgestone/Firestone, Continental,
Yokohama, and Toyo that
indicate that the use of our
products do not automatically void
their warranties also bears witness
to our success in creating a product
that does not cause harm to tyres or
wheels.
