Motoz adds 'Terrapactor' MX tyre options
Motoz has launched a newly developed MX tyre range that has been optimised to "excel across a wide range of terrains". Motoz is an internationally respected Australian tyre brand producing off-road tyres that are recognised as "being at the forefront of design and technology to meet the ever-increasing needs of serious off-road riders".
The word "revolutionary" is one of the most often misused superlatives in the motorcycle industry, but in the case of Motoz' tyre technology, it is accepted as being true as the brand always takes major steps forward for the sectors it develops new tyre designs for.
Motoz is proud to introduce the revolutionary new MX developments, a tyre line-up that blends cutting-edge innovation with its years of expertise. The company's new MX Terrapactor competition range, comprising the Terrapactor MXS (MX Soft), Terrapactor MXI (MX Intermediate) and Terrapactor MXX (MX Xtreme), has been years in development - "pushing the boundary of performance for ultimate traction, maximum drive and cornering at speed".

Terrapactor MXS (Soft Terrain)
Fronts - (DOT) 80/100-21, 90/100-21 Rears - (DOT) 100/100-18, 110/100-18, 120/90-18, 100/90-19, 110/90-19, 120/90-19, 120/80-19 |
The Terrapactor range is built with a lightweight carcass and all-new MX compound for improved longevity, durability and performance across multiple types of terrain.
Sales Manager Jackson Collins told IDN: "The design features cutting-edge tread flex zones within the carcass and knobs for enhanced flexibility and grip. The flex zones in the carcass provide improved drive stability and cornering grip that adapts and flexes according to the terrain - to give greater control and confidence while riding. The flex zones in all tread rows improve the feel and grip of cornering and accelerating.
"We wanted to create a high-quality, hardwearing, versatile range of tyres that was competition focused. After an extensive two year testing schedule it produced the optimum combinations of traction and stability that we were looking for, the final stages of development saw us able to adjust the usability across the range to produce versions that meet riders' varied needs and preferences.

"As riders ourselves, we know from real world use that MX riders need versatility in tyre design and response as every track and route brings different terrains, and every weekend can mean different conditions. That's why we took our time to ensure that we incorporated a myriad of ideas and advanced technologies into our MX developments," said Jackson.
The Terrapactor MXS is the most innovative offering for soft terrain riding - specifically tailored for soft soil mixed mud/dry MX tracks. The MXS features a chunky, open tread pattern "designed to prevent build-up and keep the tread clean along with ensuring a firm grip even in sticky conditions".
The Terrapactor MXI is designed to excel in intermediate to hard terrain (mix of loose and packed soil, hard packed soil and deep heavy ruts). "The MXI tyre stands out with its distinctive pattern, specifically crafted to deliver top performance".

The unique open scoop design incorporates innovative shoulder knobs, specifically engineered to enhance cornering grip on loose tracks. "Additionally, the open pattern ensures that the tread stays clean and maintains excellent grip in sandy conditions".
