February launch for Kenda KM1 sport touring radial

Developed and tested in the USA, the new KM1 radial marks Kenda’s entry into the highly competitive sport touring market. Cambrian Tyres is distributing the range in the UK and describes the KM1 as a tyre that offers riders great all-weather performance at a fantastic price.

“Our expert engineers have used a state-of-the-art steel belt construction and our latest advanced rubber compound to provide riders with excellent grip, but not at the expense of durability,” comments Kenda. “The optimised tread pattern and use of additional tread sipes boosts wet weather grip while also promoting even wear characteristics, while the use of our new Optimized Apex Geometry makes sure that riders get just the right balance of high-speed stability and responsive, nimble handling.”

The first stocks of the new KM1 sport touring radial are due to arrive with Cambrian Tyres in early February, initially in three key sizes:

• 120/70 ZR17 M/C (58W) TL – front
• 180/55 ZR17 M/C (73W) TL – rear
• 190/50 ZR17 M/C (73W) TL – rear

“The new KM1 radial promises to be a fantastic addition to our Kenda range in the UK, offering great performance and unbeatable value in today’s extremely challenging market. With opportunities for strong dealer margins, it’s an exciting product to add to our portfolio,” comments brand manager Graham Matcham. Riders can find out more about the Kenda range via the kenda-moto.co.uk website.
