METZELER — frequently asked questions
Common questions, straight answers. No fluff.
- Yes. Knob height tops out at 13mm, which is the FIM ceiling for regulated enduro. Fit them and you pass technical inspection.
- Soft is the all-rounder. It handles mixed loops, dries, and a full race weekend without cooking. Supersoft is built for the worst stuff you ride all year: wet rock, root steps, man-made obstacles where the front pushes on anything harder. The rubber is far more pliable and the grip is on another level, but a back tyre rarely sees a second race day. Pick on terrain, not price.
- Match it to the tyre. A 140/80-18 takes a 140 mousse, no fudging. Undersize it and the carcass feels flat, the bead walks off under hard cornering loads, and you finish the day on the rim.
- Grip is predictable and the carcass stays planted at speed. Centre knobs wear quicker than on a trail-biased tyre. Fine for transport sections between woods loops, less fine as a daily.
- The block layout gives you biting edges across every lean angle, so the tyre deforms over a root instead of skating off it. Drop pressure to the recommended enduro range and the carcass wraps around obstacles rather than bouncing. That mechanical key is the difference on technical woods loops where the surface shifts from deep loam to slick rock inside one lap.
- They work, but they're race rubber first. Tarmac transport miles will chew the centre faster than a dedicated dual-sport hoop. Once the bike hits dirt, you'll see why riders accept the trade.
