Full details

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation: As a Tube Type (TT) tyre, ensure that a high-quality inner tube is installed during mounting. Inspect the rim strip for wear to prevent punctures.
Compatibility: Designed primarily for 18-inch rear wheels. Verify your motorcycle's rear swingarm clearance before installation, especially if modifying a non-standard bike.
Inflation: Always follow the motorcycle manufacturer's recommended cold tyre pressure settings. Adjust pressures slightly downward only if the manufacturer explicitly approves lower pressures for specific off-road conditions.
Care: Regularly check for stones or debris lodged between the tread blocks after off-road excursions. Maintain a consistent cleaning routine with mild soap and water to prevent dry rot during periods of long-term storage.
