Manufacturer Part Number: 140C1017
Losing Grip When It Matters Most?
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.
Enter the Washougal II
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.
Your Plan to Ride Smarter
-
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.
The Risk of Sticking With Less
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.
The Reward of Switching
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.
Ready to Take Control?
Upgrade to the Kenda K775F Washougal II today and ride with the grip, confidence, and precision you deserve.

⚡️ Fitment on Sur-Ron & Talaria Electric Bikes
| Bike | Stock Front Wheel | Fitment | Mods Needed? | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
Why Use a 17” Front Like This?
✅ Good Fit For:
-
Shorter riders: Lowers front end ~1–1.5 inches vs. 19″/21″ setups
-
Supermoto or flat-track conversions: Improves turn-in and flickability
-
Youth MX builds: Lightweight front with soft-terrain bite
-
Urban jump/park riders: Better feel for tight turns and tech lines
⚠️ Not Ideal For:
-
Full-size e-moto builds like Ultra Bee or Storm Bee — tyre is too small for the geometry and suspension travel
-
Rocky, hardpack terrain — softer terrain tyre; knobs can chunk on hard terrain
