Mitas to enhance the extremely popular E-07 tyre range
Mitas, part of the Trelleborg Group, enhances its offering to the trail/ adventure segment of the motorcycle market, and due to popular demand reintroduces a number of sizes to its E-07 range alongside the successful E-07+ to give riders in this dynamic segment even more choice.
Gustavo Pinto Teixeira, Vice President Two Wheels and Specialty Tyres, explains:
“The E-07 is a true 50% on-road and 50% off-road adventure tyre. Over its long years of service it has continued to be one of the most desirable choices for adventure riders, as it combines road riding performance and wear with more adventurous off-road trips. Due to its hardwearing compound and optimal performance on- and off-road, the E-07 remains a preferred choice on many journeys across the world.”
The E-07+ is a class-leading 60% on-road and 40% off-road adventure tyre. It is for those riders of larger adventure motorcycles with higher engine displacement and power outputs, who are looking for great off-road performance, as well as improved road performance. Since the tread design is slightly more on-road oriented than the original E-07, both aforementioned requirements are met. A bigger knobby design provides plenty of open space between the tread blocks to displace sand, mud and water from the contact patch, while keeping enough rubber between the road and the rotating tyre.
Selected sizes of E-07 and E-07+ are available in the “Dakar” version (marked with a yellow stripe) featuring a reinforced carcass, higher puncture resistance and harder compound. It is ideal for higher loads, longer adventure trips and extreme conditions.
Both patterns remain fully interchangeable and compatible between front and rear (e.g. E-07 front, E-07+ rear), thereby offering a degree of personalization that only Mitas can offer to the market.
All tubeless (TL) versions of both E-07 and E-07+ can be used with a tube on tube type rims.
The Mitas E-07 plus as a reworking of the E-07 an enduro tire that is known among adventurers and other globetrotters.
The E-07 + version has been modified to better fit large trails. The tread has been redesigned to improve asphalt performance and ride comfort. The dynamic properties in any terrain remain thanks to the large distance between the tread blocks, which allows a good cleaning of mud, water and sand.
The carcass of the E-07 + is now BIAS and no longer DIAGONAL so B17 B18 or B19 inches
The positioning of the tread blocks, which are optimized in the direction of the road, ensures a good level of performance in road use, in particular for the safety of the brakes or with respect to rolling noise. The Mitas E-07 + offers a high versatility between road use, even on highways and ideal performance in any technical terrain. The new Mitas E07 + wants to scare off its competitors the Metzeler Karoo3 Conti TKC70 or the Bridgestone A41 market share.
The Mitas E-07 + will also be available in a Dakar rubber compound for better performance and endurance on any terrain.
