Muc-Off has used the 2024 Sea Otter Classic<\/a> in California to launch a new coreless valve, designed to offer \u2018insane airflow\u2019 for easy tubeless inflation.<\/p>

The new Big Bore valves claim to solve two common problems with tubeless valves: restricted airflow and sealant clogging in the valve stem.<\/p>

The straight-through design creates an unrestricted channel for inflation and a free passage for sealant. Muc-Off says the Big Bore improves airflow by more than 200 per cent, compared to a standard tubeless valve.<\/p>

The Big Bore features a stainless steel ball valve and lever system to regulate airflow. Rotating the lever to the fully open position when inflating a tyre offers maximum airflow. Muc-Off suggests it can also be used to fine-tune tyre pressure on the go.\u00a0<\/p>

The internal bore design also means the core doesn’t need to be removed to add sealant to a tyre, if that\u2019s you\u2019re preferred method of tubeless setup<\/a>.<\/p>

Muc-Off will offer two versions of the Big Bore at launch: the Big Bore Lite, for Presta compatibility<\/a>, and the Big Bore Hybrid, with the same Presta-style stem, but with a wider valve head for use with Schrader pumps.<\/p>

Later this year, Muc-Off will add the Big Bore Ludicrous, for use with Schrader-sized rim holes.<\/p>

Pricing for the Big Bore range is to be confirmed.<\/p>

Finally, Muc-Off also has a new tubeless sealant<\/a> formulated, according to the Dorset-based brand, specifically for road and gravel riding<\/a>.<\/p>

The sealant uses a new water-based synthetic latex solution, designed for use at the higher pressures associated with road tyres<\/a>, and is said to seal holes up to 7mm.<\/p>

The existing tubeless sealant is being rebranded as a mountain bike-specific option. – George Scott \/ Our Media<\/figcaption><\/figure>

It will be available in an 80mm pouch or 500ml bottle.<\/p>
