It's the best thing for changing tires!
Rabaconda Dirt Bike Tyre Changer
The Rabaconda Dirt Bike Tyre Changer is the 4th generation product that started it all. Designed for off-road, motocross, enduro and dual-sport tyre changes, it's a manual, tyre iron-driven tool with an innovative bead breaker setup that allows you to break the bead, dismount the old tyre 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 tyres multiple times a season, adventure bike riders prepping for off-road segments, race teams and home mechanics who are changing tyres 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 Tyre Changer is the right choice. The bead breaker has teeth designed to help grip the tyre during mounting and dismounting. Note that these teeth can leave cosmetic marks on a tyre 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 Tyre Changer instead.
Will tyre irons scratch my rim?
There's some risk, as with any tyre-iron-based change. Rim savers, plastic tyre 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 tyres?
The teeth are sharp by design so they grip the tyre 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 tyres 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 tyre made bead breaking unstable. We'd recommend the Street Bike Tyre 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 tyre.
Does it work with the Tubliss system?
Yes, though the technique differs from mousse or air-tube changes. You lift the tyre over the rim edge with tyre irons on one side, then flip the wheel and lift the tyre 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 Tyre Changer or the Street Bike Tyre 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 Tyre Changer is the faster, purpose-built option. If your wheel is cast, forged or you're not sure, use the Street Bike Tyre 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 tyre 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 tyre (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 centre from the opposite side as you go, use plenty of lube and stop immediately if you hear the bead cracking. If a tyre pops off entirely while riding, the bead wire itself is usually damaged, and that tyre shouldn't be reused even after remounting.
Will the Lift Kit fit my Dirt Bike Tyre Changer?
The two front legs fit any Dirt Bike Tyre 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.

23 secondes pour changer un pneu arrière PIRELLI !
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! 👊💪

Ottimo 👍👍👍
Absolutely stoked that my Rabaconda has finally arrived. Haven’t used mine yet but have had previous experiences with them and can’t wait to put mine into action this weekend.
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!
Great bit of kit. Our mech loves it. Saves time and energy.
Great tool, took the package with the levers etc does the job well
Great stuff! After years of working on the ground, I can finally have proper tools to change the knobbies on my Tenere’s. Love it! @tenere_ch on Instagram
Easy and quick tire change with @rabaconda 🤝🏻💯
With the Rabaconda, I was able to change tires much faster than I ever have before, and with about half the effort I was used to putting in.
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. Overall it's a good machine I would recommend it to anyone.
First time changing a tyre, was really easy! Great equipment
Great stand
Feeks like quality, have only mount it so far.
great product
For now, my 5 stars are mainly for the exceptional customer service I received. I have just assembled the product and haven’t had the chance to use it yet, so I will evaluate its performance later. I had an issue with the shipment, and the company proved to be extremely serious and professional. Véronique provided incredibly fast and effective assistance and resolved the problem perfectly. I am very satisfied! As for the product itself, my first impression is excellent: it feels very sturdy, stable and well made. You can immediately see and feel the quality. Therefore 5 stars absolutely deserved, especially for the company’s professionalism and outstanding customer service.
Excellent, really good and easy to use
Worth every single penny! If you’ve been contemplating the investment, do it! You’ll save skin and many many hours fighting with a tyre. Turned a tyre swap into 10mins.. I’m not quite up to the 3mins yet but I’m trying!
👍👍
Amazing
ok
Great to use.. Makes it so much easier.. Disappointed the the captive nut in the base had fallen out during delivery, luckily found it in the box.. Other than that. All good
So easy to use it. It worth 10time the price it cost
The best tire changer i ever had!
Very disappointed to receive a £109 customs and excise bill. I read your stock was dispatched from a warehouse in England for uk sales 😡 Rabaconda could have made it more clear when purchasing from their website.

Store owner replied: Thank you for your email and your feedback. Our company is based in Estonia where all orders are shipped from. Regarding customs fees and duties, the information is stated on our website: https://rabaconda.com/pages/shipping-and-returns For clarification, we sell tax free to countries outside of the EU such as the UK since you will be charged VAT directly by UK customs.
