Scramblers can run high or low level exhausts - there are no hard and fast rules here. We chose to specify The Bear with a low level silencer in order to allow for easy fitment of soft luggage and to reduce discomfort for our customers from heat transferred to the right leg. The low slung exhaust and Cat box has the added benefit of sitting centrally in the overall motorcycle package, helping to centralise mass and provide agility. 

No. Tubeless is not a feature or an option available for this motorcycle.
