BKT’s tough new X-Driv ATV tires are ideal for intermediate to hard-pack conditions. These race-ready tires are designed to maintain the tread profile, increase traction and provide better high-speed control.

 

o ATV enthusiast on either side of the retail counter could have missed the AMS Tire brand–Parts Unlimited’s all-new tire line–over the past few months. Consumers have been exposed to the new name through positive press coverage and a generous advertising support program, while dealers and shop owners have taken advantage of the many sales programs offered by Parts Unlimited to help launch the brand like a rubber rocketship.
Make no mistake, all-terrain tire buyers know about AMS. What may be less well known to dealers is that two other tire brands exclusive to the Parts Unlimited fold, BKT and Excella, are available under the same sales program umbrella as AMS.
     Like the AMS brand, both the BKT and Excella tire lines feature natural rubber compound construction. Natural rubber increases puncture resistance while extending tread life no matter what the application.

BKT for ATVs
     The BKT brand boasts tires like the aggressive new X-Driv, a sport/racing design for the new generation of race-ready ATVs. Aimed at intermediate to hard-pack terrain, the X-Driv is available with a tough 6-ply casing, which maintains the tread profile, increases traction and provides better high-speed control. With a vibrant hot patch on its race-ready low-profile sidewall, the BKT X-Driv won’t just roll off the shelves–it’ll jump off.
     To match the X-Driv rear, BKT offers a selection: either the matched X-Driv front or the soft-terrain oriented F-1 front tires. The X-Driv (like the rear, a 6-ply tire in most sizes) features a taut center rib for exceptional bite and tracking paired with a wide-open knob pattern on either side for superior cleaning. The supple 4-ply F-1 front utilizes a more conventional and tighter knob design, with reinforced and elongated knobs at aggressive angles for precise control and tracking.
     Also available in the BKT lines are the replacement-tire oriented AT-108 and AT-109, with a comprehensive and nearly all-encompassing selection of sizes for most ATV models sold over the past several years.

Excella for Motorcycles
     The Excella tire line is aimed not at four-wheelers, but two–with two different combinations suggested for motocross, off-road, and even dual-sport applications.
     The OF-215/OF-217 front/rear selection are highly affordable knobby tires of an intermediate design, with the natural rubber compound providing excellent performance characteristics on a wide range of terrain. The cupped design of the OF-215/OF-217 combination is designed for increased contact area and maximum centerline grip with outstanding braking control, even at extreme lean angles.
     The OF-213V/OF-213 choice is very similar in design but speed rated for street use. The tires offer DOT and FIM certification, making them a perfect choice for dual-purpose machines.
Natural rubber compounds and unique construction methods provide excellent hook-up over a wide range of intermediate terrain. Superior traction at an affordable price for the recreational rider–Excella brand tires are designed and built for the off-roader who values a good deal as much as performance.
     AMS, BKT, Excella. Two wheels, four wheels, racing or recreation. Ask your Parts Unlimited sales rep for details on how to get the most out of your tire inventory with this great new trio of off-road tire brands.
