All terrain tire

Generally, an all-terrain motorcycle must feature certain critical built-in elements: functional good headlights, mirrors, long-travel suspensions, maybe windshield, a front-wheel of at least 19 inches, or even 21 inches, and capable of handling unpaved roads or even dirt trails.

It should also be comfortable … yes; it must be comfortable by virtue of the seat, height, weight, and noise. After all, you’re a rider and the best you need from your motorcycle is comfort, even when traveling for distances on rough terrain. The bike must be powerful, capable, and wonderful.

Off-road and Motorcross

Its tread goes as much as wrapping the sides of the tire that extends out at an angle to the central knobs which allows the rider to maintain grip as he leans around sharp berms with soft surfaces.  For dirt riding in harder terrain, typically seen in  flat track racing, the tires used have a low and tightly clustered knobs to increase surface area and more grip as the bikes race at speeds of up to 160 km/h while maintaining control on an unpredictable dirt track surface.
