Heidenau K73 120/70-17 58H TL Road Motorcycle Tyre

Heidenau K73 120/70-17 58H is an all-round road tyre for 17-inch wheels that grips confidently on both dry and wet tarmac. The 120/70-17 is the front size: it fits the front wheel of road and naked motorcycles and, paired with the 160/60-17 rear from the same range, completes the set. The idea is simple — one everyday tyre that stays on through every kind of weather.

Key features

• Wet grip: The open tread pattern of Heidenau K73 clears water from the contact patch quickly and helps hold grip once the road turns wet.
• Road handling: The select blend of compounds together with the tread pattern keeps Heidenau K73 even-tempered in calm town riding and when you open the throttle on the motorway.
• Speed rating: The H speed index permits sustained riding at speeds up to 210 km/h — with margin to spare for the bikes that run this size.
• Everyday use: Heidenau K73 is built for daily riding and keeps stable handling across varied surfaces — exactly what a working road tyre should do.

Tread and construction

Heidenau K73 uses a bias-ply construction in tubeless (TL) form. The open tread pattern promotes efficient water drainage, while the select blend of compounds provides grip on both dry and wet roads. That combination makes K73 an all-round road tyre for the city, the motorway and changing weather — composed rather than nervous when the surface changes under the wheel.

Which motorcycles use the 120/70-17 size

The 120/70-17 front (paired with a 160/60-17 rear) is a typical fitment for midsize road and naked motorcycles. It is often seen on models such as the Kawasaki Ninja 650 and Z650, Honda CB500F and CBR500R, CFMoto 650NK, Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 and Benelli Leoncino 500. Treat this as a guide to the class of bike rather than a guarantee of compatibility — check the exact fitment against your motorcycle's manual.

The same size pair is a supermoto standard: the KTM 690 SMC/Duke, Husqvarna 701 Supermoto, MZ 660 Supermoto and other supermotos run 120/70-17 front and 160/60-17 rear. For everyday street use on a supermoto, K73 is a practical choice; for hard backroad riding and track days, a dedicated sport tyre makes more sense.

Where K73 is not the best choice

Heidenau K73 is a pure road tyre, so to be straight about its limits: for gravel and mixed routes an adventure tyre is more comfortable, and for constant off-road there are dedicated off-road models. For track days and hard, at-the-limit sport riding, a dedicated sport tyre makes more sense — the strength of K73 is everyday stability and mileage, not peak grip on the edge. And if you ride through winter: below +7 °C, switch to the winter version of the same tread — Heidenau K73 M+S 120/70-17 with a Silica compound.
