Heidenau K60 100/90-19 57T TL

K60 is the base model of the Heidenau K60 family: the manufacturer's recommended split is 40% tarmac and 60% gravel. Within the family, K60 Scout is set up for roughly equal road and dirt, while K60 Ranger is built for serious off-road (30/70). The 100/90-19, with a load index of 57 (265 kg), fits the front wheel of retro classics and scramblers.

Key features

• Grip on tarmac and gravel: the large-block tread pattern holds on unpaved lanes and on the tarmac stretches between off-road sections alike.
• Self-clearing: wide grooves and large gaps between the lugs throw mud out as you ride, so the pattern doesn't clog on a soft, wet track.
• Mileage and grip: Heidenau names the combination of the two as a defining property of the K60 — a selected compound works together with a purpose-built carcass.
• Comfort on the road: Heidenau K60 is built to get you to the dirt section comfortably along the tarmac.
• Cast wheels: the tubeless (TL) build — the only one in the standard K60 line — also fits modern cast wheels.

Tread and construction

Heidenau K60 carries a classic block enduro tread with a high proportion of open space. This is the only tubeless (TL) size in the standard K60 line, with a T speed index permitting speeds up to 190 km/h. The standard K60 carries no M+S marking. For winter use, Heidenau produces separate K60 M+S versions with a silica-based (SiO₂) compound — you can see them in the Heidenau winter motorcycle tyres section.

Which motorcycles this size suits

The 100/90-19 is the only tubeless (TL) size in the standard K60 line. It is found as a front wheel on retro classics and scramblers: Royal Enfield Bullet 350, Classic 650 and Bear 650, Benelli Imperiale 400, Jawa 350 OHC, Triumph Scrambler 900.

Heidenau K60 100/90-19 suits light and classic enduros that live on the dirt but ride there under their own steam. If your routes are mostly tarmac, look at K60 Scout; for heavy adventure machines that live off-road, see K60 Ranger. Find your size in the Heidenau enduro tyre catalogue.
