The Heidenau K79 Front Motor Cross motorcycle tire is designed for installation on the steering axle of cross-country motorcycles. According to the concept of this German manufacturer, this tire is an ideal pair for another K78 model, which can be used exclusively on the driven axle of the motorcycle. Another feature of this tire is the scope of its application. This model is designed for operation exclusively on soft and loose soils, where it demonstrates the best performance.
The tread pattern of this tire fully corresponds to the specific operating conditions in mud and sand. The tread pattern is divided into two parts, each of which performs certain functions. One of these functional zones is the central part of the tread, which is a multitude of massive and high blocks, grouped in pairs in cross-arranged ribs. Such a structure of the central part of the tread makes it possible to saturate the contact patch with a large number of powerful traction edges, which ensures exceptional braking efficiency, especially on soft and loose soils.
Another characteristic feature of the tread of this tire is the structure of the shoulder zones of the tread, which are another functional part. Each of these zones consists of two rows of special rectangular blocks. Due to the fact that the long edges of these blocks are arranged parallel to the direction of movement, the German tire makers were able to achieve excellent resistance to skidding. As a result, the Heidenau K79 tire significantly simplifies the process of controlling the motorcycle, allowing you to pass turns at a greater angle of inclination than most similar models from other manufacturers.
Main features of the Heidenau K79 Front Motor Cross motorcycle tire
- The design of the tread pattern is adapted for soft and loose soils due to the presence of a large number of high rectangular blocks;
- Double tread blocks, located in the central part of the tread, provide excellent traction properties in mud and sand;
- Two rows of special rectangular blocks, located in each of the shoulder zones of the tread, allow you to pass turns at significant angles of inclination without the slightest hint of skidding;
- The enormous distance between all tread elements provides excellent self-cleaning capabilities of the tread, which has a beneficial effect on the traction characteristics when moving on soft and loose soils.
