German distributor Niemann+Frey has been appointed as distributor for the MX, Enduro and FIM Enduro tyre range from Gibson Tyre Technology of the United Kingdom. Niemann+Frey are therefore currently looking for dealers in all European countries, except Gibson’s domestic British market.
The programme is being headed up at Nieman+Frey by long-time motorcycle tyre industry executive Jens Engelking, who said that “we have been selected as the exclusive partner for distribution in continental Europe.

| Gibson’s MX 4.1 rear is a mud, intermediate/hard motocross tyre with “a larger radius at the bottom of the block for strength and durability; the lateral block has also been designed with cross link technology to ensure durability and performance” |
“With the quality that the Gibson brand brings to the market, and the very attractive price-point they sell at, we are sure that they will be popular with dealers and race teams alike”.
The product line, which uses lightweight polyester in the carcass for “strength and performance”, currently includes MX tyres for most surfaces, such as soft, medium, hard pack and a sand paddle design; plus a patented, made in Europe mousse designed in Italy by Luigi Mazzoni.
The five front and three rear tyres range from general purpose and sand compounds and treads to FIM and non-FIM competition tyres, applications for soft/loose, mud, intermediate and hard/compacted ground, and additional soft and super-soft compounds for extreme Enduro use.

| Gibson Speedy Mousse by JJ - the patented design features 8 or 16 circle rings (subject to surface application) that are said to offer higher mousse retention, provide an additional biting point and “improve lap times and keep you moving forwards” |
Gibson, who say of themselves that they are “always moving forward, never losing grip”, state that they are a purely off-road tyre company, and that they have extensively researched competitive carcasses in order to develop their technology.
“We work in the same way as modern technology companies”, say Gibson. “We put all of our time and energy into research and development, using the very best technologies and methods in the world”.
