Mitas extends TERRA FORCE-MX comp range to junior sizes
Mitas has extended its TERRA FORCE-MX motocross competition tyre range, introduced at the beginning of 2019, to include junior sizes designed for motorcycles from 50 cc to 85 cc engine displacement.
Gustavo Pinto Teixeira, VP Two Wheels and Specialty Tyres, said: "It is really exciting to extend our MX competition range to include all-new junior MX sizes for young riders. With the addition of junior sizes, we are creating a solid foundation for further development of young motocross talents.
"We are honoured that 85 cc FIM Junior World Champion 2019, Valerio Lata, won the title on Mitas tyres and we are keen to help young riders on their way to higher MX classes." The range is available in three versions, each of them for different types of terrain.
TERRA FORCE-MX MH tyres seen here are for medium to hard terrain. "The shape and arrangement of knobs provide maximum traction and control, with front tyre knobs delivering straight-line stability, while the rear tyre knobs ensure greater contact with the ground".
TERRA FORCE-MX SM tyres are for soft to medium terrain. "Tapered knobs bite deeply into the soft terrain and provide improved acceleration, cornering and braking without losing traction. The tyre has a superb self-cleaning ability thanks to the widely spaced knobs".
TERRA FORCE-MX SAND tyres are for sandy conditions. "The tread design features a semi-paddle construction with spaced knobs to ensure maximum self-cleaning. The large centre rib and aggressive side knobs provide traction. The tread compound is characterised by high hardness and does not soften during the race". Available only as a rear, it can be combined with the SM front.
