FAQs
What type of terrain is this tyre best suited for?
This tyre is specifically designed for extremely soft conditions, including mud, sand, and clay dirt.
Is this a tubeless or tube-type tyre?
This is a Tube Type (TT) tyre and requires an inner tube.
What does the 'NHS' designation mean?
'NHS' stands for 'Not for Highway Service,' indicating that the tyre is intended for competition off-road use only and not for use on public roads.
How does the knob design help?
The tall, thick, turbine-shaped knobs are widely spaced to provide excellent grip in soft conditions and promote self-cleaning by shedding mud and debris effectively.
Can this tyre be used on hard-packed tracks?
While it may function, this tyre is optimized for soft conditions. Using it on hard-packed or abrasive surfaces may lead to faster wear and reduced performance compared to a tyre designed for those conditions.
What ensures the durability of the knobs?
The tyre features a new rubber compound with innovative resistance to knob tearing, impact, and abrasion, enhanced by a double-layer compound for increased longevity.
Troubleshooting
Tire feels slippery on corners.
Ensure tyre pressures are set correctly for soft conditions and verify that the tyre is mounted in the correct rotational direction. Check side knob condition for wear.
Mud excessively packing between knobs.
While designed for self-cleaning, extreme mud can still pack. Ensure you are using the correct tyre for the condition; this tyre is optimized for softs. Aggressive riding can sometimes help dislodge packed mud.
Rapid knob wear.
This tyre is designed for soft terrain. If used frequently on hard-packed or abrasive surfaces, knob wear will accelerate. Consider a different tyre model for mixed or hard terrain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This is a rear tyre with the designation 'TT' (Tube Type), requiring a suitable inner tube. Ensure the tyre is mounted in the correct rotational direction as indicated by any arrows on the sidewall. Properly inflate to the recommended pressure for soft conditions, typically lower than for hard-packed tracks, to maximize the contact patch and grip. Consult your motorcycle's manual or a professional mechanic for specific pressure recommendations.
Compatibility: This is a 100/90 19 57M NHS TT Rear tyre. Ensure your motorcycle's rear wheel rim is compatible with a 19-inch tyre and can accommodate the 100mm width. The 'NHS' designation indicates it is intended for 'Not for Highway Service' use, meaning it's designed for competition off-road use only.
Care: After use, clean the tyre thoroughly with water to remove mud and debris. Inspect the knobs for any damage or excessive wear. Store the tyre in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use to preserve the rubber compound.
