Kenda the official tyre of Mick Extance Off-Road Experience Centre

Announcing a second partnership in as many weeks, Kenda and official UK importer Cambrian Tyres are pleased to confirm the brand’s status as official tyre of the Mick Extance Off-Road Experience Centre. As part of the new arrangement, Cambrian will supply the centre with Kenda motocross and enduro tyres.

Run by the multi-time Dakar Rally finisher and based at a 1,500-acre site in North Wales’ Tanat Valley, the centre works with riders of all abilities to help develop not only their off-road, but also their general riding skills.

Clients gaining their first taste of off-road riding can hire a bike from the Mick Extance fleet of 300cc Beta X-Trainer motorcycles or a Honda CRF125. All Beta machines will now be fitted with Kenda Trakmaster road-legal motocross tyres, with an 80/100-21 front and 120/100-18 rear, while the smaller Honda motorcycles will wear the Kenda Washougal II motocross tyre in 70/100-19 front and 90/100-16 rear.

As for Mick, his son Adam and the other instructors, they’ll be riding on Kenda’s popular range of enduro tyres. With such a large swathe of forestry at their disposal, the team need a tyre which can perform on a wide variety of challenging terrain, and that’s where the Kenda K777F Enduro front and K779 Enduro rear come in. Meanwhile, Adam will be using the softer K777F Knarly front and K779 Gauntlet rear combination to tackle the most extreme terrain available on site, where he regularly takes owner-riders to really challenge themselves while picking up tips and advice along the way.

Brilliant location to showcase off-road range’s versatility

On Friday 20 January, Richard Hemingway, business development manager at Cambrian Tyres, officially handed Adam Extance the first batch of tyres in order to mark the beginning of this new partnership. “We are really pleased to be announcing a second high-profile off-road partnership for 2023 in as many weeks,” states Hemingway. “From people who’ve never sat on a bike before through to experienced riders looking to improve their technique, Mick and team do it all with unrivalled professionalism. The variety of terrain available on-site is amazing, and it’s a brilliant location to showcase the versatility of our off-road tyre range which also has something for everyone, at every level.”
