Mitas adds junior enduro sizes

Junior fitments are joining the Mitas extreme enduro tyre range. These new sizes have been developed for use on motorcycles with engine displacements of 50cc to 85cc, and Mitas says they “ensure incredible grip and stability in all conditions the rider can face in extreme enduro.” The Trelleborg Group brand adds that the tyres are suitable for riders of all levels of competence, from novices to competitive riders, due to their “excellent handling characteristics and grip.”

“We have always been at the forefront of extreme enduro and we’re the first manufacturer to add junior sizes to this type of tyre range,” comments Gustavo Pinto Teixeira, vice-president Two Wheels and Specialty Tyres at Mitas. “For the first time, young riders will have a chance to use tyres designed for extreme enduro from the beginning of their racing careers. I’m convinced that this addition will help many young talents grow to become successful riders.”

Mitas says its development work drew upon knowledge acquired over decades as well as frequent field testing with numerous top extreme enduro riders. Mitas test rider Tristan Hedgcock from South Africa, comments: “What really impressed me the most is the versatility of the tyre across all terrains. From mud to rock and forest, junior hard enduro riders from around the world now have the tyre to take them wherever they want.”
