Sunlite Alpha Bite

No, the Sunlite Alpha Bite is designed for use with inner tubes only. It is not tubeless-ready.

This tire features a tread pattern optimized for general trail riding. It performs best on standard dirt, gravel, and packed mountain bike trails rather than loose, technical, or muddy conditions.

This tire is specifically sized for 26-inch wheels, which are common on older or classic mountain bikes. Please double-check that your wheelset is 26 inches, as it will not fit 27.5-inch or 29-inch rims.

The manufacturer recommends an operating range of 40 to 65 PSI. We suggest starting at the lower end of that range for better traction on trails and increasing pressure if you are riding on smoother, harder surfaces.

Wire bead tires are generally stiffer than folding tires, which can make them slightly more challenging to mount onto the rim. Ensure you have a sturdy set of tire levers on hand to help seat the bead securely.
