Stans developed the Dual Action Repair for Tubeless (DART) to fix damaged tyres faster, easier and better than existing plug tools. While traditional tyre plugs try to wedge rubber strips into a puncture, the DART creates a chemical reaction with your Stan’s sealant to quickly form a permanent airtight bond.
The DART’s patent pending ability to react with latex sealant makes it more effective than traditional tyre plugs, but Stans didn’t stop there. To create the best repair for tubeless tyres possible, they made sure every detail was right. Traditional plug tools were originally developed for car tyres, and their long, sharp tips can cause damage to rim tape, or cut hands. Even worse, their plugs can actually expand many punctures because they rely on a tight fit to hold them in place. In contrast, the DART’s plastic tip is barbed to anchor firmly in place and stay put during even the most aggressive riding while being safer for rims, rim tape, and your hands. The material of the DART is also more flexible, and its laser-cut shape is optimised to contour to the shape of different punctures, maximising surface area to increase the sealing reaction. As the DART anchors to your tyre and creates an instant bond with your sealant, it also won’t pull out while riding the way a conventional plug can. One of the best features of the DART’s design is that it doesn’t require trimming once inserted, and excess material won’t get in the way of your ride. DARTs can’t be felt while riding, even on road tyres, and they wear smooth naturally.
