METZELER MC 360, the new off-road tyre designed to face all kind of terrain- two versions available, each in nine sizes The new tyre, available in Mid-Soft and Mid-Hard versions, makes versatility its winning weapon, suitable for all off road enthusiasts - ranging from motocross to freestyle “Change the ground, not the tyre” is the advertising slogan associated to the market introduction of this revolutionary tyre able to ensure high performances on an incredibly wide range of terrains.
MC360™ is already available on the market in nine sizes, two 21 inches front and seven 18 and 19 inches rear options, all available both in the Mid-Soft and Mid-Hard version. Here is the complete range of sizes:
Touratech is currently showing a weight-optimized conversion of a BMW 1200 GS Rambler for off-road use. In addition to reducing the weight, the fork was also replaced and one from the BMW F800 GS Adventure was installed with a 2.15 x 21 inch spoke rim. This provides much more guidance in curves than the standard front wheel, which collapses more quickly on loose surfaces.
On the road, the driver doesn't want a smaller diameter for handling purposes.
Finding the right compromise is the big challenge for manufacturers, almost all of whom offer a travel enduro, but with different concepts.
The 2017 Honda Africa Twin is equipped with a 21" front wheel.
Ducati Multistrada 1200 Enduro has 19" like the Multistrada 950
Ducati Multistrada 1200, however, only 17"
Suzuki V-Strom 650 19"
KTM 1190 Adventure 19"
BMW 1200 GS are also all on 19".
The wish would be like some supermotos with two sets of rims, one for on-road and one for off-road.
So far, the best compromise for heavy enduro tourers seems to be the 19" tires on spoke rims.
