BERINGER AERO has introduced its new 8" (by 7" wide) Tundra Wheel with optional Aero Classic 27.5" tyre (left) and with new SensAir tyre temperature and pressure monitoring system (not included).

Lighter weight, better support, and tubeless!

Ideal for LSA, these new 7.00 x 8" wheels fit on existing 6.00-6 BERINGER axles and use the same brakes and wheel bearings, making installation economical, easy -- and reversible.

Claire BERINGER, engineer, says, "These wheels make converting your LSA to tundra tires a simple and inexpensive task, and they allow a quick and easy reversion to the originals, in case you are operating from a different base. The 7" width gives the tires a more stable base; even at low pressures down to 1 Bar (1.5 psi), the tyres so not roll off the rims."

Here are some facts, with the optional Aero Classic TL 27.5" tire:

- static load limit (per wheel): 770 pounds

- weight: 24 pounds (similar setups weigh up to 35 pounds)

- price: $1463 US (competitive setups are priced to nearly $2500).
