| This tyre shares the same features as the 110/100-18 but is designed specifically for use on circuits that are full of tight corners (for spending most of the time changing directions in tight corners), or for flat corners like gravel pack forest roads. It is also better suited to a 2.50 inch rim. On a 2.15 inch rim the tread blocks are still providing drive traction even when the handle bars are almost touching the ground. This tyre will step out into a power slide position very quickly to provide drive when cornering without backing off the throttle.It may be unsuitable for novice to intermediate trail riders because when mainly used in trail conditions the weight at the rear of the bike will be concentrated on the thinner contact patch in the centre of the tyre (see comments about pointed CRS). One unexpected good application for this tyre is loose sandy desert conditions. We did not design the tyre for this application, but when tested in the 2006 Yellow Mountain Rally it provided serious drive at speeds over 150kms/hr when other tyres were past their best (this tyre finished 4th outright in this event on a CRF450X).
Price: $125.00 AUD
