🦉 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.

Key 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.

⚡️ Electric Dirt Bike Compatibility

⚡️ How It Works on Sur-Ron & Talaria

🧠 Why Use This Tyre on Sur-Ron or Talaria?

✅ Perfect For:

• Talaria XXX – direct replacement for front tyre

• Light Bee / Sting R builds running 17” supermoto or low-profile setups

• Riders who want lower seat height or improved flickability

• Youth riders, smaller adults, or anyone seeking a more nimble feel

• Terrain like loam, soft dirt, and light mud

⚠️ Things to Consider:

• You’ll lose ~1–1.5" of front ground clearance switching from 19" to 17"

• May require fender mods on Sting/Light Bee depending on fork spacing

• Not suitable for high-speed rocky trails or large-frame e-motos (e.g., Storm Bee)

• NHS (Not for Highway Service) – off-road only

🏁 Performance Summary (on modded Sur-Ron or Talaria)

🔧 Suggested Setup

• Match with Rear: 90/100-14 or 90/100-16 K785 Millville II

• Ideal Rim Size: 17 x 1.40–1.60

• Recommended PSI: 12–13 PSI for trail use

✅ Best Use Cases

• Talaria XXX owners looking for grippy soft-terrain tyres

• Lowered Sur-Ron Light Bee or Sting R setups for trail, tech, or flat-track

• Riders building a youth-friendly e-moto with a lower center of gravity

🛠️ Pro Setup Tips:

• Pair it with a 90/100-14 or 90/100-16 rear tyre to maintain balanced geometry.

• Run 12–13 PSI in the front for max traction in soft terrain.

• If installing on a Sur-Ron or Sting with a 19” front, use a 17" front wheel conversion kit, and check fork and fender clearance — especially on full suspension compression.

⚠️ Don’t use this tyre on:

• Storm Bee or Ultra Bee — it’s too small for those full-size bikes.

• Long, rocky high-speed enduro trails — not enough sidewall or impact absorption.
