Heidenau Adventure Tyres — the K60 Family and Enduro Profiles
Heidenau adventure tyres are built for riding where tarmac turns to gravel and back. The category brings together the flagship K60 family for heavy adventure machines and classic enduro profiles for lighter and vintage bikes. Every tyre is made in Germany.
At the heart of the category are three K60 profiles, each tuned to a different riding mix. The base K60 is rated 40% road, 60% gravel. K60 Scout is the all-rounder — roughly 60% tarmac, 40% gravel, weighted toward mileage and wet-road stability. K60 Ranger goes further off-road at 30% road, 70% gravel, with an open pattern and a reinforced, puncture-resistant carcass. Alongside them sit the classic enduro profiles K32, K37, K41, K42, K46, K52 and K67 in 16–21 inch sizes: a coarse block tread with good self-cleaning, made for lighter enduros and custom builds.
- Made in Germany: the whole line is produced at the Heidenau factory — German quality and control at every stage.
- One set for everything: the K60 family covers riding from city highway to forest tracks without swapping tyres for each trip.
- Long mileage: the compound and carcass are built to last — K60 Scout is known for its life on heavy adventure machines.
- Tough carcass: Scout and Ranger use a reinforced, puncture-resistant sidewall that takes the hits on broken surfaces.
- M+S marking: Scout and Ranger versions carry the mud-and-snow mark for more confidence in the cold and on softened ground.
- Sizes for any bike: from 16 to 21 inches, front and rear profiles, in both bias-ply and radial constructions.

Heidenau adventure tyres — frequently asked questions
K60 Scout or K60 Ranger — which should I choose?
It comes down to where you ride most. Heidenau K60 Scout is rated around 60% tarmac, 40% gravel — the all-rounder for mixed trips, weighted toward mileage. Heidenau K60 Ranger leans off-road at 30% road, 70% gravel, with an open pattern and a reinforced carcass. Choose the Scout if most of your route is on the road, and the Ranger if you head onto gravel and mud more often.
Who makes Heidenau tyres and where are they made?
Heidenau is a German manufacturer, Reifenwerk Heidenau, with over 70 years of experience. All Heidenau adventure tyres are made in Germany. German production means quality control at every stage, from the compound blend to the carcass construction.
What does the M+S marking on K60 Scout and Ranger mean?
M+S stands for Mud & Snow. K60 Scout and K60 Ranger versions carry this mark. It means the tread is built for confident progress on softened ground and in cold weather. It is not a full winter tyre — for snow and ice, Heidenau has a separate winter motorcycle tyre range with a Silica compound.
What is the difference between tube-type (TT) and tubeless (TL)?
TT (Tube Type) needs an inner tube. TL (Tubeless) holds air on its own and fits a matching rim. In the adventure category, the base K60 and some sizes are TT, while most Scout and Ranger sizes are TL. The type of each tyre is listed in its specifications on the product page.
How do I choose the right adventure tyre size for my bike?
The size is printed on the sidewall of your current tyre — for example, 150/70 B17. The first number is the width in mm, the second is the profile height as a percentage, and the last is the rim diameter in inches. Match the same size or check your bike's manual. The K60 family covers sizes from 16 to 21 inches for most modern enduro and adventure motorcycles.
