Heidenau K81 160/60-14 65H TL

Heidenau K81 160/60-14 65H TL is a sport-touring tyre for maxi-scooters: it holds its line through a run of corners and handles the torque of powerful engines without wearing out early. In the catalogue this size is rear-only — the widest 14-inch position in the K81 line-up.

Key properties of K81

• Stability under power: On the driven rear wheel, Heidenau K81 holds its line under engine and transmission load and stays stable coming out of a corner.
• Torque without uneven wear: Heidenau K81's dense tread pattern absorbs the engine's full torque — here, on the driven wheel rather than the front — without wearing unevenly under acceleration.
• Comfort from a stiff casing: Heidenau K81's stiff casing and extra rubber volume give it a high level of comfort, whether you're touring or riding harder.
• Grip on any surface: Heidenau K81's rubber compound grips the tarmac and brakes consistently in both dry and wet conditions.

Tread and construction

160/60-14 is also TL, with no reinforced casing and no M+S marking: the same summer road character as the rest of the K81 range, but on the widest rear wheel in this size run. The model's dense tread and stiff casing work here to keep things stable under a powerful engine's pull.

Which machines the 160/60-14 size usually goes on

Heidenau K81 in 160/60-14 (TL, rear) often turns up on the rear wheel of large maxi-scooters such as the Sym Maxsym 400/400 GT and the Gilera Nexus 500 — paired with the 120/70-15 front from the same K81 range. Treat this as a guide to the class of machine rather than a guarantee of fitment — check the exact size and axle against your scooter's manual.

Honestly, where K81 has limits

Heidenau K81 160/60-14 also carries no M+S marking: for the off-season and ice, the brand has a separate M+S Snowtex range for scooters. 14-inch wheels are the large maxi-scooter segment; for more compact models on 8–12-inch wheels, the range has the K61 and K80 SR.

Who it suits

Heidenau K81 160/60-14 65H TL is a rear wheel for large maxi-scooters with a powerful transmission, where stability under load matters. Match it with the 120/70-15 front in the catalogue of Heidenau road tyres for scooters.
