⚡️ Fitment on Sur-Ron & Talaria

🧠 How It Performs on Sur-Ron & Talaria

✅ What It's Good At

• Exceptional front grip in soft terrain (loam, deep dirt, sand, mud)

• Very light = improved agility and steering precision on e-motos

• Predictable braking and bite in ruts or off-camber conditions

• Perfect match for riders using their bike on MX tracks, forest trails, or enduro loops

⚠️ Things to Consider

• NHS tyre → not legal for road use

• Will wear quickly if used on hardpack, gravel, or pavement

• Not ideal for rocky terrain – softer compound = chunking risk

🏁 Performance on Sur-Ron / Talaria (Trail + Off-Road)

🔧 Setup Tips

• Recommended PSI:

  • 12–13 PSI (trail / soft terrain)

  • 13–14 PSI (hardpack / aggressive riding)

• Rim Size Compatibility:

  • 19 x 1.60" to 1.85"

  • Fits perfectly on stock Sur-Ron and Talaria rims

✅ Best Use Cases

• Sur-Ron / Talaria riders hitting soft terrain, rutted trails, or loamy woods

• Race setups or trail shredders who want max bite up front

• Riders who want to shave weight and improve front-end agility

💡 Pro Tip:

Pair this with a K785 Millville II 100/90-18 or 110/100-18 rear tyre and run slightly lower PSI for maximum traction on soft trails. You’ll get insane grip and handling — perfect for trail, track, or enduro setups on lightweight e-motos.

🦉 What does the 'F' stand for?

Yes, the "F" in K785F typically denotes a front tyre variant of the Kenda K785 Millville II series. Front and rear motocross tyres are designed differently to meet the specific demands placed on them during riding.

🔍 Differences between front (K785F) and rear (K785) motocross tyres include:

✅ Tread Pattern: The front tyre, K785F, will have a tread pattern optimized for steering and braking. This pattern usually features tighter-spaced knobs and a directional design to improve front-end stability and cornering grip. The rear tyre, on the other hand, has a pattern more focused on providing traction and power delivery, with more giant, more spread-out knobs to dig into the soil.

✅ Width and Profile: Front tyres are generally narrower and have a taller profile than rear tyres. This helps in cutting through soft terrain and aids in making sharper turns. The rear tyres are more comprehensive to increase the contact patch for better traction during acceleration.

✅ Construction: The carcass construction might also vary, with front tyres often built to be slightly softer to absorb impacts and aid in comfortable steering, whereas rear tyres need to be more challenging to handle the torque and power output from the engine.

✅ Sidewall Stiffness: Front tyres might have a different sidewall stiffness to aid in handling characteristics, reduce flex during tight manoeuvres, and maintain stability at high speeds or under braking.

While the K785 and K785F belong to the same tyre family and share many of the same materials and overall design philosophies, their specific constructions and tread designs are tailored to meet the distinct demands of front versus rear tyre applications in motocross. This specialisation ensures that each tyre performs optimally for its specific role on the bike.
