Mousse sizing

Postby Mouseman » Thu Jun 25, 2015 7:31 pm

Does anyone know what size mousses for Ktm 450 exc.

Tyres are Maxxis maxxcross it.

Front 80/100-21
Rear 120/100-18

Michelin Mousse sizes don't match.

Cheers Mike

Hi Mike

I use Maxxis ITs, same size as yours on the Husa (120/100/18) and I used the Michelin BIB Mousse 18 M18.
The M18 is made for 140 tyres, but the Maxxis 120's are virtually 140, so the fit is good. have a look at http://www.endurotyres.com/product/057337/ give them a call as they'll do discount for TRF members if you ask nicely!

As an alternative you can whack in the M02 rear mousse - this is the desert mousse and reports say they are a tad harder and will last longer - not used em myself, but was going to try them next time.

For the front, go with the BIB Mousse M15 or M16 (Desert).
Cheers
Derek

Cheers Derek,

Didn't know there were desert mousses...

Will try enduro tyres tomorrow,
