Mitas announces a new member in their adventure tire family: the Enduro Trail-XT tire.
Mitas’ new Enduro Trail-XT rear tire has a design derived from the Mitas E-10 Enduro tire. It is made for 70 percent off-roading, 30 percent on-road riding. The bi-directional tire has a tread pattern with widely spaced scoop-shaped blocks that provide smooth and consistent on-road behavior while still offering traction when off-roading.
Classified as M+S (mud and snow) with a T-speed rating (up to 118 mph), the dual-sport/adventure-bike rear tire comes in a standard version and a Dakar option, which has a stiffer carcass/sidewall and is made with a longer-wearing rubber compound.
The new tire comes to the market as a rear fitment, forming a top combo with Mitas Enduro Trail-XT + front tire.
Here’s the press release from Mitas…
- The new Enduro Trail-XT adventure sports tire available from June 2024
- Designed for 70% off-road / 30% on-road performance Enduro Trail-XT is available in two different versions – Standard and Dakar
- The M+S rated new rear tire is a perfect match with Mitas Enduro Trail-XT + front tire, together handling the most challenging terrain without sacrificing on-road comfort and durability
In 2024, Mitas will welcome a new member of its adventure tire family: the Enduro Trail-XT . The new tire comes to the market as a rear fitment, forming a top combo with Mitas Enduro Trail-XT + front tire for perfect handling in all kinds of terrain.
Gustavo Pinto Teixeira, Head of Mitas Motorcycle tires, says about the new Mitas adventure tire: “The Enduro Trail-XT is designed for modern adventure riders who love to explore off-road trails but don’t want to sacrifice comfort and durability when hitting the roads.”
