On tough trails and motocross tracks, the wrong front tyre means sliding out, weak cornering, and shaky confidence. Riders need a tyre that can handle both intermediate and hard terrain without compromise.
The Kenda K775F Washougal II 40M is engineered for control. With a dual-compound design, it balances a hard rubber base for durability with a softer grip compound for precise handling — so you can ride harder, faster, and with total confidence.
Fit the Washougal II to your 17” MX rim.
Feel the improved steering response and stability on the track.
Push your limits, knowing your front end will hold strong on loam, hardpack, and everything in between.
Stay on an average tyre and you risk washing out in corners, faster wear, and the frustration of never hitting your true potential on the bike.
With the Washougal II, you gain sharper turn-in, stronger grip, and lasting durability. It’s the tyre trusted by riders who refuse to settle for second-best.
Upgrade to the Kenda K775F Washougal II today and ride with the grip, confidence, and precision you deserve.

---|---|---|---|---|
Sur-Ron Light Bee X | 70/100-19 (stock) | ⚠️ Yes, with 17” rim | Requires 17" front wheel | Lower ride height & quicker steering; ideal for flat-track or youth riders |
Sur-Ron Ultra Bee | 90/90-19 (stock) | ❌ Not recommended | Too small | Better suited for 19” or 21” front tyres |
Sur-Ron Storm Bee | 80/100-21 (stock) | ❌ Too small | Not compatible | Drastically reduces front-end geometry |
Talaria Sting R | 70/100-19 (stock) | ⚠️ Fits with 17” mod | Swap to 17" front wheel | Lowers front end – good for supermoto-style builds |
Talaria XXX | 17” stock front | ✅ Direct fit | None | Great match — lightweight tyre for small electric dirt bikes |
