Kenda K775F NHS Washougal 2 Tyres: Unleash Your Off-Road Potential

Losing the Front End in Corners?

On the track, one small slip of the front wheel can ruin your lap — or your confidence. Hardpack, ruts and mixed terrain push your bike to the limit, and the wrong tyre won’t hold when you need it most.

Enter the Washougal II

The Kenda K775F Washougal II 70/100-19 is engineered to give you total control. With a dual-compound design, it combines a harder centre for durability with softer sides for maximum cornering grip. It’s purpose-built for intermediate to hard terrain, giving riders the balance of stability, bite, and feedback they demand.

How You Stay in Control

1. Fit the Washougal II to your 19” front wheel.

2. Take on ruts, berms and technical sections with sharper steering response.

3. Push harder into corners knowing your front end is locked in with confidence.

The Risk of Staying with Less

Keep running an average front tyre and you risk washing out, inconsistent grip, and faster wear — leaving you frustrated and off the pace.

The Payoff of Switching

With the Washougal II, you’ll carve with precision, hold your line, and ride with confidence across demanding terrain. It’s the front tyre trusted by riders chasing podium performance.

Time to Take Control

Upgrade to the Kenda Washougal II 70/100-19 and ride harder, faster, and more confidently every lap.
