Walnut, CA (11/17/2009) - After years of making tires and rims for some of the most recognized companies in the industry, Excel Tire & Wheel is looking to take a bite out of the ATV market - quite literally! The all-new "Bite" MX tire is race-ready right out of the gate. A combination of unique compounding and an aggressive tread pattern makes for a winning team without breaking the bank.

Available for virtually all sport model ATVs, the Bite's low profile is designed for high-speed control in full lock power slides, while the aggressive knobby pattern hooks up for exceptional straight line performance. The lightweight carcass reduces unsprung weight for more effective hook-up and better acceleration... it doesn't hurt when it comes to pulling the holeshot, either. Excel Tire and Wheel

Excel's Bite
Speaking of the track, this tire was designed by top pro racers to compete with the top name brands on the market. While the tread pattern is equally aggressive, the special natural rubber compound continues to deliver the maximum traction needed without sacrificing tread life. The 21x7-10 fronts retail for $76.38 and the MSRP for the 20x11-9 rear rubber is $86.42 at your local dealer.
