Maxxis Provides 2009 Short Track UK Control Tyre
For its 2009 series Short Track UK has opted to make Maxxis the control tyre supplier. The series has chosen to follow the lead of other top motorcycle racing series like Moto GP and World Superbikes in choosing to run with a single tyre supplier. Maxxis believes that “the move to a control tyre will ensure no advantage is gained by riders using different tyres for different conditions, resulting in closer, more spectacular action.” The move will also lead to a reduced financial burden for the series to bear.
Maxxis tyre distributor Triple A Racing has agreed with the promoter of the British Short Track Championship that competitors in the main Short Track class will use the 19 inch Maxxis DTR-1 flat track tyre, which will be made available in both soft and medium compounds. The eight-round series opens in Kings Lynn on 3 May.
