Mitas
E-05
The Mitas E-05 is a classic trials-style trail tyre, built around the vintage trials pattern that defined scrambler and dual-sport riding decades ago. M+S rated for genuine on/off-road use, with a modern carcass and compound under that traditional tread design. The small, well-spaced trials blocks give grip and stability on tarmac and light off-road without the noise or vibration of an aggressive knobbly. Sits between a pure road tyre and a 50/50 in capability, but with the looks of neither. The go-to choice for modern retro, scrambler, custom builds, and classic restorations where period appearance matters as much as performance.

Ideal For
Terrain & Conditions
Tarmac, gravel roads, hardpack trails, dry fire roads, light farm tracks. Handles a green lane in dry conditions. Not for mud, sand, or technical off-road.
Rider Types
Riders of modern retro and scrambler bikes who want the right look with proper M+S off-road capability. Classic and vintage bike owners restoring or running period machines. Custom builders chasing the trials look. Riders doing mixed commuting, weekend back-road blasts, and the occasional dry green lane. Not the right tyre for serious adventure riding or trail work.

Performance
MudBetter than nothing
Trials block spacing clogs almost immediately in wet mud. Wrong tyre for the job.
GravelQuite good
Capable on hardpack and dry gravel roads. Lacks the bite of a true 50/50 for loose or rocky going.
GrassDecent
Modern compound helps a bit, but the small trials blocks and hard road-friendly rubber limit grip on wet roots, mud, and wet grass.
Wet Tarmac GripQuite good
Acceptable in the wet for a trail-pattern tyre. Treat with care on cold or greasy surfaces.
Road DurabilityVery durable
Modern compound gives strong wear life. Good mileage on lighter retro and classic bikes.
Off-Road DurabilityLong-lasting
Carcass is stable enough for light trail use. Not built for sustained rough off-road or sharp rocks.

Running tubeless? You can still fit a tube.
In rough terrain — rocky enduro, low-pressure riding, Iceland-style adventure — fitting a heavy-duty tube inside a tubeless tyre is a legitimate and smart setup. Rim size below is matched to your selected tyre (19" rim).
