Rear motocross sand tyre comparison

A quality sand tyre can make all the difference when it comes to riding Australia's gnarliest sand tracks, and thankfully there's an abundance available at MXstore. 

In this guide, we compare the best motocross sand tyres on the market!

Michelin Starcross 5 sand tyre: The Michelin Starcross 5 sand tyre is one our favourites! It has specially designed tread with massive scoops, which make hauling through the sand a breeze, plus the tread itself is self-cleaning to release any build-up. One of the key differences in the Michelin sand tyre is the fact the tread is thicker than others on the market, making it more durable while also serving incredibly well in the mud.

Dunlop Geomax MX12 sand tyre: The Dunlop Geomax MX12 sand tyre is without a doubt one of the most popular options for motocross riders. The tyre provides exceptional cornering acceleration grip, enhanced handling in ruts and increased bump control. It uses an innovative tread pattern that features V-Block technology for the maximum in traction, plus it utilises Dunlop's unique Progressive Cornering Block Technology (PCBT).

Bridgestone Battlecross X12 sand tyre: Designed specifically for muddy and sandy conditions, the Bridgestone Battlecross X12 is optimised for greater stability when braking and cornering, yet is designed with exceptional block rigidity for excellent traction when the soil is deep.

Pirelli Scorpion MX Soft sand tyre: The Pirelli Scorpion MX Soft is the original 'scoop' sand tyre, revolutionising dirt bike sand tyres across the market. The Scorpion MX Soft has been designed with the input of MXGP riders, and it boasts reinforced edge blocks and centre paddle for an improved drive, edge traction and increased longevity in soft conditions.

Mitas Terra Force MX sand tyre: Considered a hybrid 'sand tyre', the Mitas Terra Force MX uses a semi-paddle construction and wide row spacing ensure maximum clearing and traction in stickiest mud or deepest sand.
