Counteract KIT-B is a DIY motorcycle tire balancing system that uses recyclable tempered glass beads plus valves and tools to deliver continuous, self-adjusting wheel balance.
This compact kit is built for riders who want a low-maintenance way to stabilize wheel assemblies without dismounting tires regularly. It includes one 1 oz and one 2 oz bead bag sized for motorcycle tires, two replacement valve cores and caps, a valve-core remover, and an injector bottle/tube so you can install beads through the valve stem. The technology relies on tiny, 99.9% tempered glass spheres that migrate under centrifugal force to offset imbalances across the tire circumference.
The beads move inside the tire and automatically arrange themselves to counteract heavy spots as speed increases, offering continuous correction of the wheel's rotating mass. They’re self-adjusting, so the balance adapts to tire wear and ride conditions without extra tuning.
KIT-B is sized specifically for motorcycle tires using the included 1 oz and 2 oz bead bags; many standard motorcycle front and rear tires are covered by these quantities. Installation is accomplished through the valve stem using the included injector bottle and core remover, no wheel dismount required on most bikes.
After proper installation, you can expect reduced tire vibration and more uniform tire wear as the beads counterbalance irregularities. Over time this can contribute to smoother handling and potential fuel efficiency improvements at sustained speeds.
The beads are made of 99.9% tempered glass and are designed to remain inside the tire and wheel assembly, minimizing any risk of contaminating the environment. They are inert, non-corrosive, and recyclable, and Counteract states that using beads does not void tire or wheel warranties.
Who is this for: Counteract KIT-B targets motorcycle owners, weekend riders, and small-truck or off-road vehicle enthusiasts who prefer a straightforward, low-effort balancing solution. It's ideal for riders who want to reduce vibration, extend tire life, and perform a quick at-home install without specialist equipment. If you value continual self-correcting balance and a reusable, eco-friendlier option, this kit provides the tools and bead quantities commonly suited to motorcycle applications.
Q: Do I need to remove the tire to add Counteract beads?
A: No, KIT-B is designed for valve-stem installation using the included injector bottle, so tire removal is usually unnecessary.
Q: Will the beads damage wheel rims or tire interiors?
A: No; the tempered glass beads are inert and designed not to corrode or harm the tire or wheel when installed correctly.
