Track Day Scooter Enthusiast
You're showing up to local track events on a tuned sport scooter and you need a tire that stops fooling around by lap two. The KD2's quick heat cycle and corner grip are built exactly for this — and the silica base means you're not white-knuckling the ride home if the weather turns.
Perfect Match
Spirited Street Rider
Weekday commuter, weekend canyon attacker — you need a tire that performs in both worlds without demanding race-tire babysitting. The KD2 gives you responsive handling and real wet-weather confidence without the full compromises of pure track rubber.
Great Match
High-Mileage Commuter

Frequently Asked
Noticeably faster. The sport compound is built to start working within a mile or two of moderate riding — street riders typically feel confident grip well before a typical touring tire would hit its stride. Track riders report being up to pace by the second lap rather than spending the first session nursing cold rubber.
Ride style drives the answer more than anything. Mixed street and weekend canyon use typically yields somewhere in the 3,000–4,500 mile range. If you're hitting track days regularly or riding hard, expect 2,000–3,000 miles as the grip-focused compound trades longevity for performance. It's a conscious tradeoff, not a defect.
Yes — the silica component in the base compound is specifically there to improve wet braking and maintain grip when conditions change. It won't out-perform a dedicated rain tire in a downpour, but for the kind of unexpected wet roads Orange County riders encounter, the KD2 handles it with more composure than a pure slick-style sport tire.
The KD2 is available in 100/90-12 and 120/80-12 — both standard fitments across a wide range of sport scooters and select small-displacement motorcycles. Check the size markings on your current tire or pull up your owner's manual before ordering. When you bring it in to MTC, we'll confirm fitment before we touch anything.
Most riders feel a clear difference in corner grip, warm-up speed, and overall confidence right away — OEM rubber on sport scooters is typically specced for durability rather than performance. The KD2 is a real upgrade without the cost or fussiness of premium European sport compounds.
That's exactly what it's built for. The fast heat cycle makes it useful at the track, while the silica base gives you the wet-weather margin you need for daily street riding. Just know that mixing track sessions into your routine will push wear faster — it's the price of having one tire do both jobs well.
