The tire you know and love is back and better than ever!
This summer, Mitas is enhancing its offering to the trail/ adventure segment of the motorcycle market, and due to popular demand is reintroducing a number of sizes to its E-07 range alongside the successful E-07+ to give riders in this dynamic segment even more choice.
“The Mitas E-07 is a true 50% on-road and 50% off-road adventure tire. Over its long years of service it has continued to be one of the most desirable choices for adventure riders, as it combines road riding performance and wear with more adventurous off-road trips. Due to its hard wearing compound and optimal performance on- and off-road, the E-07 remains a preferred choice on many journeys across the world,” explains Gustavo Pinto Teixeira, Vice President Two Wheels and Specialty Tires.
The E-07+ is a class-leading 60% on-road and 40% off-road adventure tire. It is for those riders of larger adventure motorcycles with higher engine displacement and power outputs, who are looking for great off-road performance, as well as improved road performance. Since the tread design is slightly more on-road oriented than the original E-07, both aforementioned requirements are met. A bigger knobby design provides plenty of open space between the tread blocks to displace sand, mud and water from the contact patch, while keeping enough rubber between the road and the rotating tire.
Select sizes of E-07 and E-07+ are available in the “Dakar” version (marked with a yellow stripe) featuring a reinforced carcass, higher puncture resistance and harder compound. It is ideal for higher loads, longer adventure trips and extreme conditions.
Both patterns remain fully interchangeable and compatible between front and rear (e.g. E-07 front, E-07+ rear), thereby offering a degree of personalization that only Mitas can offer to the market.
All tubeless (TL) versions of both the Mitas E-07 and E-07+ can be used with a tube on tube type rims.
The new Mitas E-07 will be available from Twisted Throttle in late July. Pre-order now!

I found the Mitas 07’s very good overall in both road and off road performance on My ’17 Africa Twin.
However, I also found the front tire to be one of the most difficult I have ever mounted, it is a VERY tight tire, and both on and off was the worst.
This means trail repairs are a nightmare.
It doesn’t need to be so tight.
It is good to hear a review on the tire sizes for the Africa Twin. Might be an interesting question for Mitas themselves… this was not the experience fitting the front wheel on a GS. Thanks for the feedback, though–it’s always good to hear what other riders are experiencing!
