Kenda Southwick II K780 is a purpose-built motocross tyre designed for deep sand and extremely soft terrain. With tall, paddle-style knobs and wide spacing, it excels in loose, sandy conditions by offering superior drive and control. Lightweight construction and aggressive tread help the tyre dig through soft ground with minimal wheelspin.
Ideal For
Terrain & Conditions
Deep sand tracks, soft loam, beach races, and motocross circuits with loose, dry soil.
Rider Types
Motocross riders and racers tackling sandy or soft racecourses who want maximum traction and drive.
Motorcycle Types
Motocross bikes like the KTM 450 SX-F, Honda CRF450R, Yamaha YZ250F, and Husqvarna FC 250.
Performance
Specialised for soft, sandy mud with excellent forward bite and minimal clogging in deep terrain.
Limited grip on gravel or hardpack; knobs are spaced too wide and soft for optimal contact.
Can struggle on slick surfaces like wet roots or rock due to tall, flexible knobs.
Not intended for road use — tread and compound degrade quickly and handle poorly on tarmac.
Extremely poor grip on wet tarmac. Soft compound and high knobs make for unsafe road performance.
Durability
Reliable off-road wear when used in appropriate terrain like sand and loam. Performs consistently under racing conditions.
Designed exclusively for off-road racing. Road use rapidly wears out tread and compromises safety.
