"Terra Force-MX tyres are intended for both professional and amateur riders seeking high performance. They replace our previous motocross competition range and have been developed in cooperation with many professional motocross riders on different tracks and various types of terrain," says Ksenija Bitenc, Director of the Mitas Motorcycle Tyres division.
"The new line is offered with three different tread patterns - Terra Force-MX SAND, Terra Force-MX SM and Terra Force-MX MH - to meet the requirements of all riders and terrain types.

"The new motocross competition line shows the dedication of Mitas to motocross racing. This has grown over the past years through the partnership with MXGP (FIM Motocross World Championship) and cooperation with many motocross teams and riders."
Terra Force-MX SAND is for sandy and extra soft terrain, with the rear tyre having a "semi-paddle construction with wide row spacing to ensure maximum cleaning. Large centre lugs provide traction and the layout of the side lugs ensures outstanding cornering".

The front features a scooped centre tread pattern "that acts like a paddle to evacuate sand and deliver traction. A sharp paddle design with a reinforced shoulder supports hard landing after jumping, with sharp knobs in the central part that guarantee extended tread life. The compound features high hardness and does not soften during racing".
Terra Force-MX SM is for soft to medium terrain and features a "tapered knob design that chisels its way through the soft ground for traction. The high, well-spaced knobs are tied at the base for reinforcement to give a longer life".

Terra Force-MX MH is for medium to hard terrain with rear tyre knobs that offer "maximum traction on all terrain applications with surface area and a new tread compound ensuring a balance between stiffness, reliability and long-lasting performance. The tread pattern and broad spacing between the central knobs provide maximum traction, even in changing terrain conditions, giving maximum speed and control.
"The front tyre knobs have an arrow-like layout and the side knobs deliver directional accuracy. Grip on harder terrain is mainly achieved by the type of tread figures and higher filling of the contact surface."
The Terra Force-MX line features a red stripe marking, as used on tyres for motocross competition.
