Product Details
The X-GRIP front tyre ”MACHETE” is the weapon of choice when it comes to challenging terrain. The tyre literally cuts into the ground, similar to a machete carving its way through dense jungle. This is achieved through the elongated knobs that literally cut into the ground, providing maximum traction and stability. The aggressive knobs grip the terrain, while its rotational symmetry ensures better performance after the tire is turned.
Its smooth performance is particularly evident on rocky and uneven sections. The excellent inherent damping of the MACHETE ensures that your performance can shine on technically demanding tracks. Its lightweight design minimises unsprung masses, allowing for more agile handling, while its rotational symmetry ensures better performance even after the tyre is turned.
Quality MADE IN GERMANY – Developed in Austria, according to F.I.M rules, the MACHETE is ready for use without restrictions in all F.I.M races. Perfect for Enduro Cross Country.
X-Grip Machete Soft front tire with long knobs for grip in rocky terrain. Lightweight and tuned for agility.
The X-Grip Machete Soft front tire is engineered for riders tackling extreme off-road terrain. Built with long, aggressive tread blocks that penetrate soil and loose ground like a machete through brush, this tire delivers confident traction on rocky, uneven, and technical tracks. Its design improves stability and control in soft and mixed conditions, with smooth damping that helps manage impact forces when navigating difficult terrain.
The Machete Soft tire features a lightweight construction that reduces unsprung mass for more responsive front-end handling. The tire's rotational symmetry allows it to maintain performance characteristics even when reversed, extending its useful lifespan. Whether you're racing or riding hard enduro, this tire is built to grip, guide, and go the distance.

X-Grip Medium compound Front tire with extended knobs for stable grip in tough terrain. FIM legal and reversible.
The X-Grip Machete Medium is a front tire designed for high-demand off-road conditions, offering a balanced mix of grip and durability. Its signature elongated knobs dig into dirt, loose soil, and rocky surfaces to provide steady traction and confident front-end feedback. The tread pattern is engineered to maintain stability under braking and steering forces, making it ideal for both fast single-track and technical enduro sections.
Built in Germany and compliant with FIM regulations, this tire uses a medium compound that performs well across a wider range of terrain compared to soft compounds. Its rotational symmetry allows the tire to be flipped when worn, helping extend usable life and retain consistent handling. The tire's lightweight construction reduces the weight supported by the wheels, contributing to more responsive suspension behavior and agile steering in difficult terrain. Reliable damping helps absorb rough impacts, keeping your ride smoother through rock gardens, roots, and trail chatter.
Key Features
Fitment
A: Width (120/80-19)
Width of the tire, typically in millimeters, from sidewall across the tread to the opposite sidewall.
B: Aspect Ratio (120/80-19)
The height of the cross-sectional profile expressed as a % of the width of the tire
C: Rim Size (120/80-19)
The third number is the diameter of the wheel in inches.
Example: 120/80-19 or A/B-C [ The width(A) of the tire is 120mm. The sidewall height(B) is 80% of 120 or 96mm. And it fits a 19in wheel(C) ]
