Features and Benefits
- Purpose-designed front tyre lug layout: The lug pattern is specifically configured for front wheel applications — optimised for steering precision, straight-line tracking, and confident braking performance, with a tread geometry tuned for the steering and braking loads placed on the front axle rather than the drive traction demands of the rear.
- Pairs with MU-02 rear for balanced overall performance: Designed as a matched combination with the Zilla MU-02+ rear, the MU-01+ front delivers a cohesive, balanced handling package — with front and rear lug design and compound characteristics tuned to work together for consistent, predictable performance across mud, soft terrain, and trail conditions.
- Claw-shaped lugs for maximum biting edges and self-cleaning: The distinctive claw-shaped lug design increases the number of biting edges for confident front-end grip and traction, while the high void ratio between lugs allows mud and debris to eject cleanly — maintaining steering traction and control even in heavy mud.
- Lugs extended onto the sidewall: Sidewall lugs provide additional grip during tight cornering and rut navigation, preventing the front end from washing out and keeping steering response accurate and predictable on challenging terrain.
- Extremely lightweight design for responsive steering and braking: The MU-01’s lightweight construction reduces unsprung front-end weight, improving steering response, manoeuvrability, and braking efficiency — keeping the front end agile and quick to react to rider inputs.
- Nearly continuous centre tread for smooth trail running: A near-continuous centre rib reduces rolling resistance on firmer trail surfaces, delivering a smoother ride and more relaxed steering feel when the terrain opens up between the tough sections.
- Predictable high-speed performance: Tread design and construction are tuned for stable, predictable front-end behaviour at higher speeds across soft to intermediate terrain — giving riders confidence in the front end when pushing harder on familiar tracks.
- Durable 6-ply rated carcass: The reinforced 6-ply rated casing provides the structural strength and durability to handle the repeated impacts, braking forces, and torsional loads placed on the front axle during aggressive off-road riding.
- Performs in mud, loose dirt, soft terrain, and light snow: A versatile mud and trail front tyre suited to the variable conditions across New Zealand’s farm tracks, back-country trails, and recreational ATV and UTV environments.
