Slovenian tyre maker Mitas has been investing heavily in new tyre development since it was fully absorbed into Japanese tyre giant Yokohama’s operations in 2023, creating new rubber for the agricultural, truck and construction markets. But now it’s the turn of the company’s motorcycle portfolio to get a new addition to its ranks.
The Touring Force SP has been designed for light and middleweight sport touring and naked motorcycles, coming in a size 120/70 R17 front tyre and three rear sizes: 160/60 R17, 180/55 R17 and 190/55 R17. It uses Multi Compound Tread Technology to give extended mileage from the tougher centre section and improved grip from the softer tread compound used for the tyre edges. The formulation has a high silica content, which claims to improve grip even more. Pricing yet to be confirmed.
