Mitas adds new dual-purpose tyre sizes

Czech tyre manufacturer Mitas (part of the Swedish Trelleborg Group) is extending its TERRA FORCE-R dual-purpose tyre range and adding five new sizes from March 2017. After the extension, the range will include eight sizes. Mitas’ TERRA FORCE-R is designed for maxi enduro and trail motorcycles and is meant to be used 90% on-road and 10% off-road.

Ksenija Bitenc, Director of Motorcycle Tyres and Tube Product at Mitas, says “by extending the 90/90-21 tyre size to V speed index (240 kmph), we will get a perfect set for a combination of 90/90-21 54V for front wheels and 150/70R17 69V for rear wheels.”
Bitenc added: “TERRA FORCE-R is our flagship product featuring advanced technologies, which are the result of in-house research and development. This gives the tyre excellent grip, optimal balanced wear and maximum confidence for riding on-road as well as off-road.”
The dual-purpose TERRA FORCE-R tyre is “designed for daily commuters as well as adventurers who love longer trips with both passengers and luggage. Both groups of riders can enjoy a safe, user-friendly and dynamic riding experience. Riders will appreciate the excellent traction on wet or dry roads and outstanding performance on light off-road surfaces”.
The TERRA FORCE-R street-oriented tread pattern “ensures immediate grip, easy steering and manoeuvrability with good straight and corner stability. It is an excellent choice for riders of adventure motorcycles. Advanced technologies such as OGT3D (3-D Optimum Groove Technology), SCT (Strong Carcass Technology) and FEA (Final Element Analysis) are used - the result of in-house research and development”.
The two new TL rear sizes are 120/90-17 64H and 130/80-17 65H.
