The K&L MC680 Motorcycle Tire Changer with StrongarmII is the perfect solution for start-up operations and low-volume motorcycle shops looking for a reliable, powered tire-changing system. Engineered specifically for motorcycle applications, this combination delivers professional-grade performance at an affordable price point. The MC680 handles wheels up to 37" in diameter and tires from 2" to 10" wide, making it versatile enough for cruisers, sportbikes, touring bikes, and even police motorcycles.
What sets this combo apart is the inclusion of the innovative StrongarmII mounting system. New generation motorcycle tires—especially those found on touring and police bikes—feature extremely stiff sidewalls that resist manipulation even after the bead is broken. The StrongarmII uses pneumatic air pressure to hold the tire's bead firmly in the drop center of the wheel, even while the turntable is revolving. This intelligent assist technology ensures tire changes remain a one-person job, reducing labor time and physical strain while improving safety and efficiency.
Why Choose the MC680 with StrongarmII?
- Powered Efficiency: 1.5 HP motor provides consistent, reliable power for professional tire-changing operations without the fatigue of manual machines.
- Wide Capacity Range: Accommodates wheels from 6" to 24" external rim clamping, with a maximum wheel width of 10" and tire widths from 2" to 10"—covers virtually all motorcycle applications.
- StrongarmII Technology: Pneumatic bead-holding system keeps stiff sidewalls in the drop center throughout the mounting process, making even the toughest touring and police bike tires manageable.
