Description
Drive traction off the corner comes from the rear tire, and the MXT 04 rear in 120/100-18 is shaped to dig into intermediate terrain on a full-size MX or off-road bike where terrain changes lap to lap. This is the latest MXT 04 pattern from ProTaper, updated from the previous generation with a knob and groove layout aimed at intermediate terrain, the loose-over-hard conditions that make up most of a typical moto or off-road track. The staggered knob spacing is shaped to bite into loam and hardpack alike without the harsh, buzzy feel some aggressive tread patterns transmit through the chassis.
What the MXT 04 brings to the wheel:
- Rear-specific knob layout built to hook up under acceleration and hard braking
- Knob and groove tread geometry for braking bite and stability through intermediate terrain
- Compound tuned for offroad racing and general trail riding, not just one condition
- Sized 120/100-18 for full-size motocross and off-road racing
- Carcass built to hold up to jump landings and rock-strewn sections without squirming
Mount this tire with a fresh heavy-duty tube and correct rim lock for the wheel size, and check air pressure before every session since a soft MXT 04 will roll under load faster than a properly inflated one. Confirm the 120/100-18 sizing against your current tire before ordering, since off-road sizing is not universal across brands. IPD Racing carries the full MXT 04 range because it is one of the tires we reach for on our own bikes.
