Metzeler MC360 Motocross Enduro Tyres - 90/90 21 (54M) TT - Front, Mid Soft

The Metzeler MC360 Motocross Tyres are a new range of tyre dedicated to Motocross and Cross-country. The MC360 condenses all of the requirements from these disciplines in 2 options Mid-Soft (MS) and Mid-Hard (MH).Road Legal fitmentOutstanding durabilityMaximised grip for traction and brakingReversible tread patternAbrasion resistant compound for improved tyre lifeNew front block layout for improved handlingThe Metzeler MC360 Motocross Tyre is dedicated to racers of motocross, supercross, non-FIM enduro and freestyle, and is able to provide maximum performance in any possible racing condition. The tyre is versatile, strong and durable, and able to reduce the tuning effort on the motorcycle by lowering the number of parameters to be tuned-up.Amateur racers will appreciate the plug-and-play solution to perform at their top with very few vehicle adjustments and an easy-to-use and always under-control tyre. Cross-country racers ride both motocross and enduro motorcycles on mixed courses with fast motocross sections, using either 18 or 19 rear tyres. They will find in MC 360 both motocross performances and enduro versatility and durability. MX and enduro "for-fun" riders will enjoy a valuable product with great dynamic performances.All MC 360 tyres have a reversible tread pattern to prolong tyres life and give the possibility to reverse block s angle of incidence, when needed to maximise traction between one round to another. The structure of Metzeler MC 360 is a high module, low shrinkage tri-ply made of strong and impact-resistant fiber. The polymers and ingredients used to develop the tyre's compound are focused to increase knob s stiffness for high-level dynamic performances and maximum resistance to heating and dynamic stress, to ensure a constant performance through the tyre life. The new compounds were developed to deliver durability, tearing, cuts and puncture resistance, capitalising on Metzeler s expertise in racing Enduro. The new compounds are 100% carbon black with a blend of both synthetic and and natural rubber, providing high tearing resistance and durability.The Metzeler MC 360 range is street-legal for dimensional and integrity requirements. Using legal on-road fitments allows the rider to go back and forth to the track/training ground, or simply the wood close to home.Mid Hard Compound - the perfect choice for medium and hard terrains. The tyre/compound has a unique characteristic - the CKB (Continuous Knob Binding) design has a layer of rubber surrounding every knob to maximise the tearing and wearing resistance of knobs and the versatility of use in all terrains. The mid-hard compound for the front tyre has 5 rows of knobs equally spaced and alternately split in 2 and 3 sections to gain comfort by balancing the overall stiffness. On the shoulder area, MC 360 Mid Hard has alternated shovel-shaped and diamond-shaped knobs aimed to grant traction in lean and maximising self-cleaning capability.One difference from the Mid Soft compound is that the lateral half-shoulder knob is larger to ensure half-lean grip on hard surfaces. There is also a wide footprint which will increase the effect of the mechanical and chemical grip. The mid-hard compound for the rear tyre also has 5 rows of knobs; however the center wide ones are equally spaced aligned with diamond-shaped knobs on the shoulders. On the shoulder area, the diamond-shaped knobs help both traction and cornering grip. The overall tread pattern is more dense than the mid-soft to ensure the adequate footprint by a higher land/sea ratio for maximum traction.Mid Soft Compound - the perfect choice to provide great traction on soft and mid-soft terrains. The front tyre has 5 rows of knobs longitudinally aligned with the ones on the shoulders. The front center knobs are very wide, alternately different-sized and characterised by a curved shape to increase maneuverability, carving and then traction on soft terrains, support and directionality. They are also alternately divided in 2 and 3 sections to maximise comfort by balancing the overall stiffness.On the shoulders, the diamond-shaped knobs ensure contemporary carving efficiency on soft terrains and great durability; the wide voids between the knobs ensure self-cleaning from mud and dirt. Diamond-shaped shoulder knobs couple with the lateral cut sections of center knobs to ensure grip at any lean angle.The mid-soft compound for the rear tyre has 3 rows of knobs, the center and the shoulder ones. The rear center knobs are alternately divided in 2 and 3 sections whose double function for comfort and to enhance the performance when both entering and exiting turns.Specification Information - From May 2021, motocross sizes will also be available in the new R specification for professional track racing applications. With these sizes, METZELER introduces innovative tread and structure compounds, developed to guarantee performance at the highest levels. The MC360TM R specification will be available excl
