The Metzeler MC4 motorcycle tire, produced by Metzeler (Germany), is designed specifically for equipping sports motorcycles that participate in motocross and other competitions (such as trials), where maneuverability and stability are extremely important.
The company's developers took into account all the nuances related to the specifics of high-speed driving on soft and medium-soft soils. Special structural materials used for the production of rubber and cord, as well as excellent operational characteristics of the "MC4" class tires, have a significant impact on the popularity of such products among professional riders. Such tires are often installed on off-road motorcycles.
Sports cross-country tires, unlike track tires, provide for the presence of a high tread. This tread, in combination with a special pattern configuration, provides optimal technical characteristics of the motorcycle in dynamics:
- Stability in turns, as well as quick acceleration when exiting turns;
- High passability regardless of the soil type (sand, gravel, etc.);
- The necessary power to overcome ascents;
- Excellent grip even with wet soils;
- Maximum traction, providing a quick start.
Special rubber compounds with additives of silicic acid and polymer reinforcement are used to manufacture the rubber, which provides the necessary stiffness of the tread.
The Metzeler MC4 tire is an excellent solution for equipping cross-country motorcycles. It inspires confidence in victory. However, it is not recommended to apply the "MC4" type tire in the case of track racing, where completely different technical characteristics are required. The Metzeler MC4 tire is classified by the speed index NHS, which clearly indicates the specifics of use (not for public roads).
The Metzeler MC4 rear tire is available in two sizes: 110/100-18, 110/90-19; the front tire is available in size 80/100-21.
Main features of the Metzeler MC4 tire
- Optimal technical parameters oriented towards movement on loose soils.
- Cross-shoulder blocks of the tread provide stability when passing turns.
- The rubber compound guarantees stable stability even in the event of sharp braking.
- Diagonal cord winding provides stability of the tire against deformation.
