Heidenau K80 SR 110/70-11 45M TL

Heidenau K80 SR 110/70-11 is a pure road tyre for scooters, catalogued under sport and touring. Heidenau tuned the compound for wet tarmac, so rain is a working condition for K80 SR, not a reason to crawl.

What K80 SR gives you

• Wet roads: Heidenau K80 SR uses a compound optimised for wet grip.
• Mileage: Heidenau lists long service life as one of K80 SR's key traits, thanks to the additives in the mix.
• Ride quality: Heidenau K80 SR takes cobbles and tram tracks in its stride.
• Changing direction: the redesigned V-shaped contour lets Heidenau K80 SR flick easily from side to side.
• Handling: the K80 SR tread holds a line and gives clear feedback through the bars.

Compound and contour

Heidenau K80 SR is a bias-ply tyre: the size carries neither a B nor an R. Almost every size is tubeless; the only tube-type version is 3.50-10. Wet grip comes from the optimised compound; cornering behaviour from the redesigned profile contour.

Where K80 SR is not the right choice

Heidenau K80 SR carries no M+S marking; for the cold season there are winter tyres for scooters. It is not intended for track use either: for closed circuits the same profile exists as K80 SR NHS with the SRS2 compound, not approved for use on public roads.

Who this size suits

110/70-11 appears in our sample predominantly on Vespa — the LX 125, GTV 125 and related models, at the front. The rear partner on those scooters is 120/70-11, a size the K80 SR range does not include.

Heidenau K80 SR suits riders who ride in town and on open roads and want predictable grip in the rain. Before ordering, check the manufacturer-specified tyre size, the load and speed indices, the tyre construction and the scooter manufacturer's requirements.
