I really hope it gets tubeless spoked wheels, but I expect it won't.
Cycle world article says tubeless 18/21A little more info related to the above input:
2023 Honda Transalp 750 Imminent
Honda revealed its brand-new CB750 Hornet at the Intermot show, and we suspect its revised Transalp 750 will be unveiled at EICMA.www.cycleworld.com
Nowhere in the article is the word "tubeless" mentioned. The only relevant snippet I can find is "the Transalp is due to get wire-spoke wheels, with a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear." The photos/images I've seen all seem to appear tube-type. I'd love to be wrong, though.Cycle world article says tubeless 18/21
Excuse me, I wondered on to the toureg660 article ...Nowhere in the article is the word "tubeless" mentioned. The only relevant snippet I can find is "the Transalp is due to get wire-spoke wheels, with a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear." The photos/images I've seen all seem to appear tube-type.

Tires, Front/Rear: | Tubeless; 90/90-21 / 150/70R-18 |

I haven't followed this bike doesn't appear to be meant as a serious offroad bike like the T7. Throw a skid plate on it and run dirt/gravel roads. 7 and half inches of travel before you sit on it isn't much.Everything I see is that they are tube type wheels.
It seems they had a design contest in their engineering department for who could make the exhaust the bulkiest under the engine. The reports from the unveiling say it has 8.3 inch ground clearance while the new V-Strom boast 8.6 inches and the T7 is still king in this area with 9.5 inches.

"Compact, two-piston calipers work dual 310mm ‘wave’ discs up front. The rear 256mm ‘wave’ disc is operated by a single-piston caliper. Tube-type 21” front/18” rear spoked wheels (stainless steel) wear 90/90-21 and 150/70-18 tires respectively. Customers can choose from either the Metzeler Karoo Street or Dunlop Mixtour."

I agree. I had just hoped that Honda would take a swing at the T7 but it appears they are trying to appeal to a different demographic.I haven't followed this bike doesn't appear to be meant as a serious offroad bike like the T7.
