Motocross tyre KENDA K780F SOUTHWICK II 80/100-21 NHS 51M TT front

KENDA offers this motocross tyre. A motocross tyre grips thanks to its knobs, blocks of rubber that dig into the dirt to drive, brake and turn the bike.

Why choose a tyre suited to your ground?

The benefits:

• More drive in the slop: a soft-terrain tyre (mud, sand, loose dirt) has tall, widely spaced knobs that bite and shed the mud, but it wears quickly on hard ground.
• More grip and longer life on dry ground: a hard-terrain tyre has lower, more closely spaced knobs, but it clogs up faster in mud.
• An intermediate tyre is the most versatile compromise: the right choice if you ride on varied ground.

Why choose KENDA?

KENDA is a Taiwanese manufacturer of tyres and inner tubes.

When should you replace the tyre?

Rounded, split or torn knobs, or cracked or cut sidewalls: it needs replacing. In racing, it is changed as soon as the knob edges are no longer sharp; for leisure riding, at the latest when the knobs have lost about half their height. The rear wears faster than the front, and a tyre stored for several years hardens, even if it has never been ridden.
