The Plews Tyres MX3 Foxhills GP Hard Rear 120/90-18 is a rear Motocross tyre for Hard Terrain, designed for very hard, fast and rocky tracks. Inspired by the British Foxhill track in Swindon, the MX3 Foxhills GP has been developed to deliver grip, stability and control in demanding hard-ground conditions.
Its design combines LFC (Lateral Flex Control), CCT (Chipping and Chunking Tread) and CCRC (Chipping & Chunking Resistant Compound) technologies with an asymmetric tread pattern and larger, specially shaped knobs. This version is Rear 120/90-18 and is listed by Plews Tyres among the sizes with DOT and ECE homologation for road-legal use.
LFC – Lateral Flex Control
LFC (Lateral Flex Control) technology concerns the tyre carcass design and uses high-quality race polyester for a lightweight, heat-resistant construction. LFC is designed to control the carcass’s lateral flex, contributing to motorcycle stability and control, even in demanding riding conditions.
CCT – Chipping and Chunking Tread
CCT (Chipping and Chunking Tread) technology relates to the tread design philosophy and has been developed for Intermediate and Hard Terrain, including surfaces with rocks and stones. Special contact-patch testing equipment is used during development to ensure the knobs are effectively supported at high lean angles and under increased loads. The design aims to reduce the likelihood of chipping and chunking, meaning wear, breakage and pieces coming away from the knobs.
CCRC – Chipping & Chunking Resistant Compound
CCRC (Chipping & Chunking Resistant Compound) is a rubber compound developed to provide greater resistance to chipping, chunking and tearing. According to Plews Tyres, specialised testing equipment is used during compound development to measure rubber loss over time. The collected data is used to improve the compound’s resistance to the stresses encountered on hard and rocky terrain.
Asymmetric tread design
The tread patterns on the front and rear MX3 Foxhills GP feature an asymmetric layout from left to right. This design aims to improve the contact patch with the ground, enhancing grip and stability on hard surfaces.
Larger, specially shaped knobs
The larger knobs have an increased surface area, providing better feel and greater comfort when riding on hard terrain. They also feature special cuts and design details to improve bite and ground-contact feel, with the aim of delivering greater grip and better control.
