ENDURO TRAIL-XT+

Longitudinal scoop-shaped block pattern

The defining feature of the ENDURO TRAIL-XT+ tire tread is the longitudinal scoop shape of each block. Unlike symmetrical blocks, the curved, angled face of scoop-shaped blocks engages with the terrain during both forward acceleration and braking. On soft terrain, such as mud and loam, this shape actively expels material from the block during rotation to prevent clogging, which would reduce grip. On hard, rocky surfaces, the block edges dig in from multiple angles rather than riding on top of the surface.

The rear tire inherits this pattern directly from the Mitas E-09, which has proven its off-road capabilities through years of enduro and trail use. With an average lug depth of 13.2 mm, it ranks among the best adventure tires for terrain bite. For reference, many 50/50 adventure tires have lug depths of 7–9 mm. The front tire mirrors the E-13 Rally Star pattern with a 12 mm lug depth, making it one of the most aggressive front options available for a street-legal adventure tire.

Reversible rear tread pattern

The rear ENDURO TRAIL-XT+ has a reversible tread direction. Most riders initially mount the tire in the primary direction. Once the tread depth has reduced to the point where performance in the primary direction declines, the tire can be dismounted, flipped and remounted in the opposite direction to access the unused rubber on the other tread face. This effectively extends the usable life of a single tire, which is a significant practical advantage for riders covering long distances between tire suppliers.

Tubeless and Tube Type dual approval

All ENDURO TRAIL-XT+ tires are approved for both tubeless (TL) and tube type (TT) mounting. This means that no fitment verification is required per size; every size in the range works with both rim configurations. This is particularly valuable for riders who own bikes with different rim types or who switch between tubeless and tubed setups for different terrains. The wide bead design also provides secure seating for tubeless installations.

The ENDURO TRAIL-XT+ is available in a range of sizes to fit the most popular adventure and dual sport bikes. Refer to the technical specification table on the product page to confirm your fitment. Key parameters to verify:

• Rim diameter in inches: must match your wheel rim exactly
• tire width and aspect ratio: verify against your motorcycle manual or current fitment
• Load index: must meet or exceed the minimum stated in your motorcycle owner's manual
• Speed index: must meet or exceed your motorcycle's maximum speed rating
• TL or TT: both are accepted for all sizes; choose based on your rim type
• Front or rear designation: the XT+ front differs from the rear in tread pattern and profile
