What the Triumph NTB-AS Motorcycle Adapter Set Is
The Triumph NTB-AS Motorcycle Adapter Set is designed to expand the capabilities of compatible Triumph wheel balancers by allowing them to accommodate motorcycle wheels. It is an accessory rather than a standalone wheel balancer, making it a practical option for shops that want to add motorcycle wheel balancing capabilities without purchasing a separate dedicated machine.
Unlike traditional balancing adapters that locate the wheel through its center bore, the NTB-AS is designed to secure the wheel from the outside of the tire. According to the manufacturer, this outside-grip design allows the adapter to accommodate a broad variety of motorcycle wheel configurations.
Triumph NTB-AS Wheel Balancer Compatibility
The NTB-AS has specific fitment requirements and is listed for use with the following Triumph wheel balancer models:
-
Triumph 580
-
Triumph 550
-
Triumph 800
Compatibility with other Triumph wheel balancers or machines from other manufacturers is not guaranteed. Because proper fitment is essential for safe and accurate wheel balancing, verify the exact model of your Triumph balancer before ordering.
The NTB-AS is also sold as a non-returnable item, making model verification especially important prior to purchase.
Outside-the-Tire Wheel Holding Design
One of the primary advantages of the NTB-AS is its method of securing motorcycle wheels. Instead of relying on the wheel's center bore, cones, or other traditional center-mount adapters, the NTB-AS holds the outside of the tire.
This design helps accommodate the wide variety of hub configurations, bearing bores, and spacer arrangements found across different motorcycle wheels. According to the manufacturer, the outside-holding design allows the adapter set to handle any wheel on the market.
For automotive and motorcycle service shops working with different types of bikes, this provides a versatile way to expand the capabilities of an existing compatible Triumph wheel balancer.
Important Information Before Ordering
Before purchasing the NTB-AS, verify that your wheel balancer is a Triumph 580, 550, or 800. These are the only models specifically listed by the manufacturer as compatible with this adapter set.
Fitment with other brands or models is not guaranteed, and the NTB-AS is not eligible for returns. Confirming compatibility before ordering can help prevent fitment issues.
Published manufacturer information does not specify the number of individual components included, package dimensions, product weight, or whether additional setup hardware is required. If any of these details are important for your application, they should be confirmed before purchase.
