Mitas, part of the Trelleborg Group, has been se-
lected by KTM Sportmotorcycle as the original equip-
ment (OE) tyre provider for its 2019 KTM 690 ENDURO
R model.
“E-07s are the first Mitas tyres to be chosen by KTM
and we are delighted that our tyres have gained the
trust and recognition of such an important motorcy-
cle manufacturer. I believe that this project is a great
start to our partnership,” states Ksenija Bitenc, direc-
tor of the Mitas Motorcycle Tires division.
Through the development process, Mitas and KTM
worked closely to achieve the best performance be-
tween this exciting and heavily updated motorcycle
and its tyres. Now, with the E-07 tread pattern, the
KTM 690 ENDURO R delivers an outstanding riding
adventure to riders who wish to connect tarmac and
trails. The KTM 690 ENDURO R 2019 is fitted with Mi-
tas E-07 90/90-21 front and 140/80-18 rear tyres.
E-07 is well-known as a true 50/50 on-road/off-road
tyre and its performance off-road is outstanding. The
tyre’s hardwearing compound and optimal performan-
ce on-road and off-road make the E-07 one of the most
popular dual sport tyres for adventure trips around
the world. The Dakar version – marked with a yellow
stripe – is built with a stronger carcass and has higher
puncture resistance, ideal for higher loads, longer
adventure trips and extreme conditions.
