Struggling to Hold Your Line?

On soft tracks, loam, and mud, the wrong front tyre means losing grip in corners, washing out in ruts, and struggling with braking control.

Enter the Millville II

The Risk of Staying With Less

With the Millville II, you gain confidence in every corner, improved control under braking, and performance you can trust on race day.

Take the Lead With Confidence

🦉 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.
