Canadian customers, due to high demand, the Dirt Bike Tire Changer is currently out of stock. It is expected to ship September 7.

For our US customers, the Dirt Bike Tire Changer is in stock and ready to ship.

The Rabaconda Dirt Bike Tire Changer is the 4th generation product that started it all. Designed for off-road, motocross, enduro and dual-sport tire changes, it's a manual, tire iron-driven tool with an innovative bead breaker setup that allows you to break the bead, dismount the old tire and mount the new one. All without opening up the cuss bucket.

The standard spindle is 20mm; a 12mm spindle is available for smaller hubs. Since 2017 (Gen4), the base has rubber feet for added stability.

Best for: motocross and enduro riders who change tires multiple times a season, adventure bike riders prepping for off-road segments, race teams and home mechanics who are changing tires constantly, and anyone running mousses.

Important note: This tool isn't built for cast wheels. The wheel rests on its spokes, so cast wheels would fall through, and the steel wheel supports could mar a cast rim's coating. If you ride mostly cast (sportbikes, cruisers, touring, adventure bikes with cast wheels), the Street Bike Tire Changer is the right choice. The bead breaker has teeth designed to help grip the tire during mounting and dismounting. Note that these teeth can leave cosmetic marks on a tire but don't affect functionality.

FAQ

What wheel sizes and hub diameters does it fit?

16-21" wheels, with a wheel hub inner diameter of 20-27mm (extendable to 12-30mm with optional accessories like the 12-18mm Spindle or 28mm Adapter).

Can I use it on cast or alloy wheels? What about a Harley-Davidson or other cast-wheel bike?

No, it's designed for wire-spoke wheels only. The wheel rests on its spokes during a change; a cast wheel would fall through the supports, and the steel wheel supports could mar cast rim coatings. For a Harley-Davidson or any other cast-wheel bike, use the Street Bike Tire Changer instead.

Will tire irons scratch my rim?

There's some risk, as with any tire-iron-based change. Rim savers, plastic tire iron covers or wrapping the irons in tape all help reduce it. Realistically, a dirt bike used for its intended purpose picks up some battle marks over time.

Do the bead breaker's teeth damage my tires?

The teeth are sharp by design so they grip the tire and don't slide off during the second-bead dismount. Any marks they leave are normally just cosmetic. If you'd prefer, you can grind the teeth down, though this may make second-bead removal harder.

Can I do both dirt bike and supermoto tires with one machine?

Yes, as long as the supermoto wheel is wire-spoked rather than cast/alloy.

Why a separate Mini Tire Changer instead of one tool for everything?

The size difference between a 10" and a 21" wheel is too big to serve well with one compact design. A true 2-in-1 ends up not being good enough at either size, so we built the Mini as its own purpose-built tool.

Does it work on a BMW 1200GS?

Not well, in our testing. The cross-spoke geometry combined with a stiff-sidewall tire made bead breaking unstable. We'd recommend the Street Bike Tire Changer with the BMW adapter and the Duck Head Kit for Cross-Spoked Rims instead, plus a pair of Drop Center Tools for the hard-carcass tire.

Does it work with the Tubliss system?

Yes, though the technique differs from mousse or air-tube changes. You lift the tire over the rim edge with tire irons on one side, then flip the wheel and lift the tire over the other side. Follow Nuetech's official Tubliss instructions for the actual install; note some of the changer's usual bead-breaker benefits won't apply if you follow their method exactly, since Tubliss recommends dismounting both beads to the outside of the rim.

How much does it weigh?

14.5kg (32 lbs), excluding the carry bag.

How do I know if I need the Dirt Bike Tire Changer or the Street Bike Tire Changer?

It comes down to your wheel type. If your wheel is wire-spoked, especially if you're running mousse or Tubliss, the Dirt Bike Tire Changer is the faster, purpose-built option. If your wheel is cast, forged or you're not sure, use the Street Bike Tire Changer; running a cast wheel on the Dirt changer's steel wheel supports risks marring the rim and the wheel may not seat properly on the supports at all.

Why does my tire bead pop off, or come loose, a few rides after mounting?

This is almost always a mousse fit or mounting issue, not the tool. The most common causes: the mousse is undersized for the tire (swap to the correct size), or a super-soft mousse needs two rim locks and a valve stem to help seat the bead before the rim locks are tightened. When mounting the last section of bead, guide at least a third of it into the drop center from the opposite side as you go, use plenty of lube and stop immediately if you hear the bead cracking. If a tire pops off entirely while riding, the bead wire itself is usually damaged, and that tire shouldn't be reused even after remounting.

Will the Lift Kit fit my Dirt Bike Tire Changer?

The two front legs fit any Dirt Bike Tire Changer without modification. The rear leg mounts to the rectangular tube frame used since Gen4 (late 2017 onward); earlier versions have a flat sheet-metal support plate instead, and the Lift Kit's rear leg won't mount to that as-is.

In case our mechanic ever retires. I'm teaching my grandsons to retire. Love this machine. Can cha.ge my Adventure bike tires without breaking a sweat. Nice!

Customer photo review of Rabaconda Dirt Bike Tire Changer

I’ve been slumped over a 5 gallon bucket for as long as I can remember struggling to change tires. I changed out a rear tire with a BIB on my first use in about 10-15 minutes. I didn’t even break a sweat. Tire with tubes are a bit harder because of the valve stem, but still easier than using a 5 gal bucket. This is by far one of the best tool purchases I’ve made!

A full day changing tyres and mousses is made so much easier with my @rabaconda I’ve had one since they first came out in 2012 and I’ve just replaced it for a new one after thousands of tyre changes on my old one. Some nice new features on the latest device 👌 Thanks Rabaconda for Rider Developed Designs, I really appreciate quality products that work! 👊💪

Super easy to set up, learn how to use, and the tire iron set was solid. Have already changed out tires on two different bikes, with one more to go, highly recommend! No more bloody knuckles or cursing!

Customer photo review of Rabaconda Dirt Bike Tire Changer

Easiest tire change iv'e ever done. I run tubes atm so i did the process a little different. I dismounted half the tire using 5 irons then removed the tube. Flip the tire and push off with the arm. Mounting new tire the press arm really helped mount the last bit thats always a pain. Every piece of this system seems good quality and well thought out. Don't get the cheep knockoffs. Rabaconda is where its at.

Customer photo review of 10-Year USA ISDE Limited Edition Dirt Bike Tire Changer

Assembly is very straightforward, no brainer. The lever arm makes all the difference for breaking the bead and tire dismounting from the rim. The longer tire irons are a must have and will complete your tire machine kit. The kit packs away for storage until you’re ready for a new set of tires. Well done Rabaconda!

10-Year USA ISDE Limited Edition Dirt Bike Tire Changer

Been using a different brand and finally purchased the rabaconda. Knew I liked it better upon first use. Would’ve been 5 stars but as a person with back issues would like for it to be taller. So hopefully when leg extensions get here I will be totally a 5 star review. JWA

I have been dreading trying to change my tires and moose bibs for years due to the horror stories you hear. I finally pulled the trigger and bought a Rabaconda. Turns out it was an extremely easy job with this tool. It's high quality, and there are many good videos on how to use it. Remember..buy once, cry once.

Makes dismount a breeze. A little rough on the rim though. I added 1” clear tubing to the rack for cushion.

Customer photo review of Rabaconda Dirt Bike Tire Changer + FREE Pro Tire Irons

The unit works well but I think in my opinion the teeth are to sharp on the pressure arm I manufactured a plastic cover for over the teeth and I don't have to worry about messing up the tire. On a different note I tried to scan your code on how to use the machine and I couldn't get it to work so you might want to look at that but overall it's a good machine I would recommend it to anyone.

Rabaconda Dirt Bike Tire Changer + FREE Pro Tire Irons

I hesitated on this purchase for many years due to the high price, but I have no regrets now that I’ve bought one. In the 3 weeks that I’ve owned my Rabaconda I’ve used it 4 times and it certainly makes tire changes fast and easy. I run two rim locks so it’s not quite as fast as 3-minutes but it’s still a lot faster and easier than the old 5 gallon bucket I have used for the past 25 years. Overall the quality seems great so it should last a long time. It’s an expensive indulgence but I would still recommend it.

Rabaconda Dirt Bike Tire Changer

Love it! Simple and easy to use! It’s also VERY portable! At 6ft I do wish it was slightly taller (maybe 2-3 inches) even with the risers it feels a little low at times but it’s not a deal breaker for the best tire changer on the market!

Rabaconda Dirt Bike Tire Changer

So much better than the flimsy changer we were using before. This thing is solid and accurate! Love it.

Rabaconda Dirt Bike Tire Changer

With a little improvement in my technique, I can see this thing is gonna be a GameChanger. No more anxiety about changing tires!

Rabaconda Dirt Bike Tire Changer

Hopefully it will get easier on the next tire. Broke one of the irons first tire attempt. Not sure it’s worth the $800 setup. Time will tell.

I’m a 70+ year old lifelong rider on the dirt and street and have been watching the growing acceptance of the Rabaconda changer since its introduction. I have recently struggled with hand changing stiff dualsport and ADV tires so finally decided I deserved the Rabaconda. The first time I used it, it was the easiest change I have ever done. The icing on the cake (pun) was using a liberal amount of NoMar tire paste and spray to remove the old tires and install the new ones. I will pack it up and put it in the chase truck for our MTBDR ride next month.

Rabaconda Dirt Bike Tire Changer

I was tired of paying my local shop to change tires or struggle and do it myself. I just changed 2 tires yesterday and it was so much faster and easier than I thought it would be. I’ll recover the cost in no time.

Rabaconda Dirt Bike Tire Changer

I have never changed a dirt bike tier before but this made it so easy to get the tire off and on. I watched a few youtube videos and did a tubliss upgrade in the rear along with a new tire in less than an hour.
