This new size 110/85-19 has been specifically developed for MX2 races and 250 4 strokes engines, where
the reduction of not suspended mass brings positive effects on handling and contributes to decrease inertial forces. This product reflects the latest trend of developing MX bikes with a lot of attention to weight reduction to bring more agility and acceleration thus decreasing required engine power and torque. Compared to the 110/90-19 we can appreciate a sensible reduction of mass and weight that allows improved handling and agility when jumping and less damping at landing. The width of 110 and the design of the knobs insure an optimal grip and traction on the terrain.
