Recent changes to Germany’s drivers’ license regulations have had a positive effect on the growth of the midsize-motorcycle market segment.
Up to now, the most commonly used tire size combination for this segment, 120/70 and 160/60-17, has not been available in the “M+S” marked version which German law requires for winter conditions.
To fill the gap in this growing market, Heidenau will introduce the already popular Heidenau K73 pattern in a special winter-version with “M+S”-marking. As all HEIDENAU motorcycle winter tires, these new tires will be manufactured using high-grade silica compounds to minimize braking distances and maximize grip on cold and wet road surfaces.
The combination of carcass, compound and open tread design ensures the traction required for winter conditions including mud and/or snow.
The tires will be on the market in mid October.
sizes:
120/70-17 M/C 58H TL K73 M+S SiO2
160/60-17 M/C 69H TL K73 M+S SiO2
