Motion Pro 08-0519 BeadPro Tire Bead Breaker and Lever Tool Set

These are a must have if you ride a motorcycle on a long trip. Breaks the bead well and do a good job as tire spoons. Bring another spoon along as well to make the job even easier.

I didn't know I needed these until I got them. 100% necessary addition to the toolset. They are forged and very solid for their weight. I've seen the Chinese knockoffs of these and they are cast metal with pitting - not what you want when putting down a lot of leverage. I used these to successfully change my first set of DRZ tires. I then felt inspired and tried these on a set of 31" Toyota tires that I needed to separate from the wheels to recycle. These successfully unseated the bead on those as well and I was able to use my car tire spoons from there. Couldn't be more impressed with such a simple tool.

I wasn't sure what to expect, but I am pleasantly surprised at how light these are, but also strong! Definitely worth the price to save weight on my bike. Also, it's a two for one as a bead breaker and tire spoons. Highly recommend!

Nice light tools to carry while out on the motorcycle. Work very well.

Given this item 4 stars, as the BeadPro does what it says on the box. Breaks Motorcycle tyre beads. I ordered the item after having a flat tyre on my Triumph Bonneville about 50k's from the nearest town in Top end of Australia, which is basically outback, thus no phone reception. Triumph Bonneville's have tubed tyres, thus plugging wasn't an option! Therefore I was stuck on the side of the highway for many many hours.One trouble with the Triumph Bonneville, is there is very little room available to carry toolkits, however, there is some limited space under the seat. The Beadpro Tire breaker, fits nicely under the seat, together with some other essential tools, thus allowing the possibility of some form of self recovery.The BeadPro is compact, strong and light thus portable and a very useful bit of kit. The only reason i haven't given it five stars is because is life length is untested, being a new item. But I am sure it will prove to be an asset for a good number of yearsHewieDarwinAustralia

If you ride a loooot, and do your own maintenance these are a must. I've already taken my tires off and put new ones on, and these make breaking the bead very easy. Very light and strong. Easy to throw in a pannier or top box for on the road maintenance!!

Good compact spoons. Provided you’re willing to get hateful with em because they’re so short, they are great and fit well in a tool bag.

These are short, lightweight tire tools. Their shortness is appropriate to fit in a trail toolkit. There is no other reason not to get the long steel tools that will work much more easily. The lightweight aluminum on these is strong but is no doubt why they're so expensive.The novel bead-breaker function of the levers works well, but is probably not necessary for dirt bike or dual-sport type tires and wheels. Breaking the bead down is not that hard. Keeping the bead in the drop center is harder, but these don't really help with that. On street wheels with radial street tires, the bead breaker might make a big difference -- I haven't tried it.The other end of the tool is a standard tire lever. It's not quite as round as the spoon type. These ends work comparably to the aluminum spoon type from Motion Pro.For a dirt bike's trail kit, I would suggest the 27mm/12-13mm wrench/spoon set (or whatever the axle nut size is for the bike). The 12mm is needed for the bead lock and tire valve stem anyway. Those two spoons are the minimum. I'd also suggest at least one Trail Bead Buddy. I can't think of a drawback to these Bead Pro levers, but since the one end of them is probably not needed, they'll work great but not have a place in a minimalist trail tool kit.For a street bike, I really don't recommend any kind of small tire tool. Have a plug kit on the bike for tubeless tires. Get the big tools for the shop.
