Mitas expands Sport Force+ RS tyre range

Mitas is expanding its Sport Force+ RS tyre range with the addition of larger sizes. The new 120/70 ZR17, 180/55 ZR17 and 190/55 ZR17 sizes expand the range to a total of six fitments and are expected to hit the market in April 2023.

“Following the successful launch of the Mitas Sport Force+ RS in 2021, the new sizes will cover a wider range of sports bikes. The introduction of new tyre sizes in the sport range is an important addition for Mitas. Our Technology & Innovation team have been working hard to develop larger sizes to allow more riders to hit their favourite racetrack with Mitas Sport Force+ RS,” says Gustavo Pinto Teixeira, vice president of Two Wheels and Specialty Tyres at Trelleborg Wheel Systems.

The Mitas Sport Force+ RS is designed for the racetrack but can also be used on public roads. It features a specially developed Racing Soft (RS) compound for “exceptional grip at extreme lean angles and superb straight-line stability at high speeds”.

Tested with the support of Randy Krummenacher, Swiss motorcycle rider and 2019 Supersport World Championship Winner, Mitas says the Sport Force+ RS delivers lap times comparable to the best-in-class competitors.
