Dunlop has added a tubeless version in the 8-inch size (3.50-8) to its classic-pattern "TT100" tire. Aimed at Honda's pre-125cc "Monkey" and "Gorilla" models, which previously only had tube-type options available, the new size responds to custom demand. It will be sold exclusively through online stores.

Tubeless on the 8-inch wheels of the Monkey and Gorilla - that's welcome news for those of us who tinker. From what I've seen out in the field, tire choice has long been a bottleneck for small-wheel customs. If usability goes up while keeping that TT100 tread pattern, that's an interesting material to work with. It's a bike that'll transform depending on who builds it and how.

Being online-store exclusive might mean it's hard to find at physical shops.

For people touring on 8-inch mini bikes, having more tire options is genuinely welcome news.

The TT100's tread pattern still doesn't feel dated even now—it's a genuinely well-finished design.

Going tubeless to make puncture repairs easier is a huge practical benefit too.

Tube-type tires were a hassle to patch, so going tubeless is a long-awaited update.

Tubeless TT100s for the old Monkey Gorilla—understated news, but plenty of people will be happy about it.

The pre-125cc Monkey Gorilla is basically treated as a rare bike now, which just proves demand for it never went away.
