Terra Force-R Czech tyre manufacturer Mitas has introduced the Terra Force-R, a new radial dual purpose tyre, and new off-road tread patterns for rally (E-12 and E-13), trials (ET-01 X-PRO) and flat-track (FT-18).
The Terra Force-R is an "excellent choice for riders of adventure motorcycles”, said Ksenija Bitenc, Managing Director for Mitas Moto.
A radial dual purpose tyre with a more street oriented tread pattern, the Terra Force-R is said to offer "excellent traction on wet or dry roads and outstanding performance on light off-road surfaces. Special emphasis is made on durability and stable performance of the tyre through its entire lifetime. With optimised block design, Terra Force-R ensures great straight-line stability".
The E-12 (front) and E-13 (rear) tread patterns are said to be designed for extreme motorcycle rally riding, such as the Dakar. At the moment the front tyre is available in 90/90-21 and rear tyre in 140/80-18 – and Mitas says that both tyres were successfully tested in the extra hard conditions of North Africa's deserts.
The ET-01 X-PRO is a new version rear trials racing tyre. A new construction of carcass and use of extra soft tread compound is said to give excellent grip and riding properties in a wide range of terrains.
The FT-18 is a new tread pattern for professional Flat Tracking. It is available in 27x7-19 4PR (front) and 27.5x7.5-19 4PR (rear) in two versions - MH for middle to hard tracks (red stripe) and MS for middle to soft tracks (green stripe). A 120/70-17 NHS is available for small motorcycles.
