Mitas Sportforce+ EV 180/55ZR17 73W | Rear TL Sport Radial MCTT Evolution

The Mitas SportForce+ EV is a sport radial rear tyre built specifically for electric motorcycles. Where conventional sport tyres were designed around the power delivery and weight distribution of internal combustion engines, the SportForce+ EV addresses the distinct demands of electric drivetrains — including instant torque, heavier chassis loads, and regenerative braking forces — through its EV-specific MCTT Evolution compound construction.

Offered in a 180/55ZR17 fitment with a 73W load and speed rating, this tubeless radial suits a broad range of sport and supersport electric motorcycles. It is a practical choice for riders who want a tyre matched to their platform rather than a repurposed conventional design.

• EV-specific compound designed for the instant torque, increased weight, and regenerative braking of electric motorcycles
• MCTT Evolution technology — Mitas's proprietary compound construction for sport applications
• Radial construction for enhanced stability, handling precision, and ride comfort at sport speeds
• Tubeless (TL) fitment — no inner tube required, compatible with standard tubeless rims
• 180/55ZR17 sizing for common sport and supersport 17-inch rear wheels
• Load index 73 — rated to 365 kg
• Speed rating W — rated to 270 km/h
• Rear-specific profile engineered for drive traction, lateral grip, and braking forces

• 1x Mitas SportForce+ EV 180/55ZR17 73W rear tyre

Check tyre pressure when cold before every ride; refer to your motorcycle manufacturer's handbook for the correct inflation pressure for the specific load and speed conditions — do not use a pressure listed for a different tyre or vehicle.
Never exceed the rated load index of 73 (365 kg total load on the tyre) or the W speed rating (270 km/h) during use.
Bed in a new tyre gradually over the first 100–200 km: avoid full lean angles, hard braking, and maximum acceleration while the release compound wears away and the tyre reaches its operating temperature.
EV-specific: regenerative braking applies sustained deceleration forces to the rear tyre; inspect rear tread wear more frequently than the interval you would follow on a conventional motorcycle.
Inspect the tread surface and both sidewalls regularly for cuts, embedded objects, cracking, or abnormal bulges; a tyre showing structural damage must be replaced immediately.
Do not use the tyre below the legal minimum tread depth of 1.5 mm (Australia); replace before the tread wear indicators are reached.
Clean with mild soap and water only; never apply petroleum-based solvents, silicone-based tyre shine, or lubricants to the tread or sidewall.
When storing an unmounted tyre, keep it upright or horizontal in a cool, dark, dry location, away from ozone-generating sources such as electric motors and fluorescent lighting, and out of direct sunlight.
Have the tyre professionally fitted, balanced, and torqued to the wheel manufacturer's specification; re-check balance if vibration develops during use.
After fitting, inspect the tyre-to-rim seal and confirm correct inflation before riding.
