We now proudly distribute TUFO Tyres. These guys have been around since 1991 and focus on race tyres for many different bicycle disciplines. All their tyres are Hand Made in Brno (Czech Republic) and are of exceptional quality. We'll focus here on MTB to start with.
We've been testing the XC11 and XC14 on our Hardtails and are extremely impressed with how its been going. To sum them up quickly we found these key points.
Fast rolling.
Light but super stable and strong.
Impressive traction and cornering.
Zero burps - 23 to 25 psi rear tubeless and we've ridden them everywhere including some pretty rocky fast stuff. Touch wood!!! NO FLATS!, zero issues.
Black and Tanwalls available in all 4 models. These are aimed at XC based racing so the only size made are 29ers in a 2.25 but they are a big volume and reasonably wide. If you're not racing no problem, they tick all the boxes for most riding conditions. Available now state wide at most bike shops. Feel free to contact us for more information any time.

Another top job by our team at W.Garrett & Co.
We now distribute FLY Racing gear as well, and we're really happy with this result for one of the Mitas Tassie crew - Mr Thomas Booth. You won't be able to miss him at the next round of the TAS Gravity Enduro. Drop us a line if custom riding gear is something you require

Mitas Tyres Australia have been working with Brooke Lendvay for a while now but we haven't officially welcomed her. Sorry Brooke, that has now been addressed!
Welcome to the Mitas family...we love having you onboard.
Brooke's background is moto trials based which is a great way to learn balance and handling in technical situations. Brooke then got into road cycling in 2016 followed by mountain bikes in late 2017. She has certainly hit the tracks running with some fantastic race wins since then including becoming the 2019 MTBA National XCO Masters 1/2 champion. A stellar achievement and no doubt one she'll be fighting hard for again next year. Here are some more of her recent results.
2018 State XCO Championship-Masters 1/2 Champion
2018 Sprung 2 Hour XCO 1st Female
2019 Qube Ports 4 hour XCO 1st Female
2019 LMBC King/Queen of the Mountain- 2nd Female, 1st Masters 1/2
2019 MBP Measured Madness XCO - 1st Masters 1/2
Congratulations on your achievements Brooke, we look forward to seeing plenty more as you continue your cycling adventure.

If you ever wondered where some of the Mitas MTB tyre names come from well I have the answer. 'SCYLLA' is from Greek Mythology and refers to legendary monster and 'KRATOS' also from Greek Mythology is god of war

The new 29 x 2.45 Scylla is now here. Here's what Tassie's own Kaine Cannan had to say after the first test.
'Super fast rolling and awesome under brakes. The 2.45 gives you a really nice tyre profile which ultimately gives you more grip, with a bigger footprint on the trail. Sidewalls feel very compliant also, still allowing the tyre to move from side to side but still gives the confidence that you won't blow it off the rim in turns. They feel alive, very impressive'.
Kaine has been riding on them now for a couple of weeks. A quick message from him over the weekend read.
'Man these 2.45 tyres are so good'
Thanks Kaine for updates.
