Every motocross rider knows the feeling, your start gate drops, but your rear tyre spins instead of launching you forward. Corners feel loose, braking feels sketchy, and your confidence takes a hit. That’s what happens when you rely on tyres not built for your terrain.
The Kenda K785 Millville II is engineered for soft to intermediate terrain, with a directional paddle-shaped tread that claws into dirt, sand, and loam. It’s not just about grip, it’s about explosive starts, confident braking, and maximum control in every race situation.
From the advanced rubber compound that balances traction with wear, to the tie-bar supports that keep tread blocks stable under load, every detail is built for performance. Extra biting edges on the shoulder blocks mean you can commit harder into corners and come out faster.
Choose your size, this 90/100-16 is perfect for your rear wheel.
Fit it with ease, our tyres are designed for quick installation.
Hit the track and feel the difference from the very first lap.
Keep your old or generic tyre and you’ll keep fighting for grip, losing speed in corners, and burning through rubber faster. In racing, that’s not just lost time, it’s lost podiums.
Switch to the Millville II and you’ll notice instant improvements: stronger starts, tighter turns, more consistent braking, and a tyre that lasts race after race. It’s the upgrade your bike and your results deserve.
Don’t settle for second place. Get your Kenda K785 Millville II 90/100-16 Rear Tyre from eMotoX Sports today and dominate every corner, every lap, every race.

Lower rear profile = easier for shorter riders, lowers center of gravity
Smaller diameter (~24.5") = loss of top-end speed
Not ideal for rocky or hardpack terrain
Requires 16” rear wheel conversion – not a direct bolt-on for most models
Not DOT-approved – off-road only use
