Mitas is adding junior motorcycle tyres to its extreme enduro range
Gustavo Pinto Teixeira, Vice President Two Wheels and Specialty Tyres, explains: “We have always been at the forefront of extreme enduro and we’re the first manufacturer to add junior sizes to this type of tyre range. For the first time, young riders will have a chance to use tyres designed for extreme enduro from the beginning of their racing careers. I’m convinced that this addition will help many young talents grow to become successful riders.”
The development of these sizes was possible thanks to the knowledge Mitas has acquired over decades combined with constant field testing with numerous top riders in extreme enduro. Mitas test rider Tristan Hedgcock from South Africa, says: “What really impressed me the most is the versatility of the tyre across all terrains. From mud to rock and forest, junior hard enduro riders from around the world now have the tyre to take them wherever they want.”
Mitas extreme enduro junior tyres ensure incredible grip and stability in all conditions the rider can face in extreme enduro. Due to their excellent handling characteristics and grip, they can be used from novice to competitive riders.
