Terra Force-R
Czech tyre manufacturer Mitas has
introduced the Terra Force-R, a new
radial dual purpose tyre, and new offroad tread patterns for rally (E-12 and
E-13), trials (ET-01 X-PRO) and flattrack (FT-18).
The Terra Force-R is an "excellent
choice for riders of adventure
motorcycles”, said Ksenija Bitenc,
Managing Director for Mitas Moto.
A radial dual purpose tyre with a more
street oriented tread pattern, the Terra
Force-R is said to offer "excellent
traction on wet or dry roads and
outstanding performance on light offroad surfaces. Special emphasis is
made on durability and stable
performance of the tyre through its
entire lifetime. With optimised block
design, Terra Force-R ensures great
straight-line stability".
The E-12 (front) and E-13 (rear) tread
patterns are said to be designed for
extreme motorcycle rally riding, such
as the Dakar. At the moment the front
tyre is available in 90/90-21 and rear
tyre in 140/80-18 – and Mitas says
that both tyres were successfully
tested in the extra hard conditions of
North Africa's deserts.
The ET-01 X-PRO is a new version rear

trials racing tyre. A new construction of
carcass and use of extra soft tread
compound is said to give excellent grip
and riding properties in a wide range
of terrains.
The FT-18 is a new tread pattern for
professional Flat Tracking. It is
available in 27x7-19 4PR (front) and
27.5x7.5-19 4PR (rear) in two versions
- MH for middle to hard tracks (red
stripe) and MS for middle to soft tracks
(green stripe). A 120/70-17 NHS is
available for small motorcycles.

Polyester MT-09
and FZ09 filters
Italian specialist Sprint
Filter have released a
new design of their
award-winning PO8 mesh
filter for street use - for
Yamaha's MT-09 Tracer
and FZ09s. Backed by a
long-life warranty, Sprint
Filter’s PO8 mesh uses
patented 80 micron
polyester technology
composed of wires that
have a diameter of just 5
microns for a claimed
doubling of the airflow
and a higher filtration power compared to "any other sport air filter". The
use of polyester means that no filter oil is required, and no soap or shampoo
is needed for cleaning. Sprint Filter say that a 20 second clean with
compressed air removes the dust and dirt and restores the filter to maximum
performance. SPRINT FILTER, Italy, www.sprintfilter.net
