MX MX 1.1 Front
The Gibson MX 1.1 tread is used exclusively on the front wheel and was geared towards the demands of the professional motocross sport from the very beginning of the development. The engineers had to work with a jam-packed requirements specification with totally convincing results. The V shape tread design ensures stable and full-surface ground contact as well as precise and accurate steering behaviour and handling. The outer lugs were also aligned to the so-called BOW TIE design to enable optimum ground contact and maximum self-cleaning in every lean angle. The half diamond design, entering the tread block at alternating angles, plays its part in optimally transmitting braking forces and ensuring optimum cornering stability. The ultra-light and very flexible carcass ensures optimum performance, but at the same time also the long-lasting durability and running performance of the front tyre. The soft carcass absorbs these shocks perfectly especially with hard landings after a jump. The cross-link technology used on the outer lugs, in combination with a reinforced tyre shoulder again improves lateral support, controllability and stability and totally prevents the buckling of the lugs. The patented rubber compound combines a high level of grip with strong durability, which in turn attests to the product's good price-performance ratio. Its low weight completely rounds off the successful total package. The Gibson MX 1.1 tread can be used on all terrain, from soft to medium hard.

MX 3.1 Rear
The Gibson MX 3.1 rear wheel tread has been designed and developed for use on soft and mixed ground. The very broad versatility of the MX 3.1 is due to its ultra-modern design as well as the patented rubber compound that ensures an enormously high level of grip coupled with exceptional durability. The outer lugs were also aligned to the so-called BOW TIE design to enable optimum ground contact and maximum contact area in every lean angle. The centre blocks provide outstanding traction and push the rider to achieve the fastest lap times. The self-cleaning of the MX 3.1 tread is very good, ensuring that the tyre also works well in muddy conditions. The ultra-light and very flexible carcass ensures optimum performance, but at the same time also long-lasting durability and running performance. A high level of grip and perfect traction, coupled with durability, ensure an almost perfect price-performance ratio.

MX 5.1 Rear
The Gibson MX 5.1 rear wheel tread has been designed for use in soft sand. The distinct and unique paddle design tread ensures exceptional traction and propulsion. The laterally offset classic lug blocks ensure additional propulsion, especially when accelerating out of the curve at a lean angle. The cross-link technology used on the outer lugs, in combination with a reinforced tyre shoulder again improves lateral support, controllability and stability and totally prevents the buckling of the lugs. The optimum arrangement and dimensioning of the tread blocks ensure the best possible tyre contact area. The shape of the carcass with the additional reinforcement in the shoulder area creates added tyre contact area, thus further increasing the traction. The ultra-light and very flexible carcass ensures optimum performance, but at the same time also the long-lasting durability and running performance of the MX 5.1. sand tyre. The soft carcass absorbs these shocks perfectly especially with hard landings after a jump.

H C E T TECH 9.2 FIM Front GIBSON® TECH 9.2 FRONT “FATTY”
The new GIBSON® TECH 9.2 front tyre was designed to perform in the most difficult technical off-road sections in hard enduro sport. The tyre likes EXTREME conditions because it pushes the limits of what is feasible. The 9.2 satisfies the FIM regulations and meets the requirements of the ECE-R75 road approval. The distinct V shape tread design, supported by a new carcass design and the innovative rubber compound, lets the GIBSON® TECH 9.2 triumph even over the most difficult terrain. The width of the contact area also plays a role as does the low weight of 4.5 kg. The “Fatty” rolls playfully over loose and soft terrain and provides optimum guidance. It masters technical obstacles, such as rocks, roots or trees, with flying colours. The engineers focused much attention on wet grip. The sharp edges of the tread with the increase block height guide the front wheel almost as if it were on rails, whether wet, dry, cross country or extreme enduro – try riding the GIBSON® TECH 9.2 to its limits – these limits have been shifted. GIBSON® TECH 9.2 - the best choice for extreme enduro. Size: 90/100-21 T T 57M

X s e i b n Tui m GIBSON® POWER tubes
New tyre – new tube. This is the rule of thumb that today like in the past still applies for motorbike tyres. The tube in a motorbike tyre is subject to the same ageing processes as the tyre itself. Through the socalled “kneading” of the rubber, triggered by the acceleration and braking forces, the tube is heated by friction and is thereby subject to a wear process, in other words it becomes porous. In addition, the old tubes have been stretched from filling them with air or tyre gas. When reused, there is a risk of creases forming when they are refitted, which can tear the tubes while riding. For safety reasons, you should therefore also replace the fitted tube when replacing the tyre. State-of-the-art production technologies guarantee the highest quality standard even for GIBSON air tubes. The compound systems used primarily ensure high impact resistance and therefore greater safety in the case of puncture damage. The GIBSON tube product range includes off-road air tubes with a wall thickness of 2 and 3 to 4 mm suitable for all crucial tyre dimensions. The standard versions has a wall thickness of 1.3 mm.

e s s u o m GIBSON速 POWER MOUSSE
The patented GIBSON速 POWER MOUSSE revolutionises the previously known mousse technology! Ringshaped constrictions deliver two significant improvements in tough race conditions in comparison to conventional technology: 1. The constrictions pick up additional mousse gel volume during installation, which results in effective distribution of the gel and therefore also improved discharge of the heat that arises. This significantly increases the service periods of the mousse. 2. The patented constrictions increase the tyre contact area. The result: improved adhesion, maximum grip and extreme steering precision significantly improve the driving performance. GIBSON速MOUSSE is available in soft (race), medium (standard) and medium hard (rally) compound variants. The mousse for the dimensions of the 65ccm class 60/100-14 and 80/100-12 can be cut and therefore customised to the different carcass sizes of other manufacturers. GIBSON POWER MOUSSE is available in a variety of dimensions for rim sizes ranging from 12 to 21 inches . For easy fitting, we recommend the original GIBSON速 fitting gel.
