Nitro mousse, Mefo any good?

leeexc · Sep 5, 2017

I have the Tour of Mann Rally in a few weeks which is quite rocky, last year on my 950 I killed a front mousse on the first day fitted another mousse for day 2 and that was past its best at the end of day 2. From memory I think these were WinX mousses which I had always found good before in fact I think these were full price well in date mousses the ones I had before that lasted were cheap (£60) but almost at there sell by date

This year due to my knee still being dodgy I am sticking to a lighter enduro bike but not sure what mousses to get, Has any one tried these new Nitro mousses yet? Any good? not bothered about this "feel" many talk about just want them to last a while so that rules michelin out. Also being intending to try the Mefo but not got round to it yet, are they any good?

There is also the Pirelli/Metzeler mousse but you do not seem to hear much about them in the UK.

What's wrong with Michelin, I had over 100 hours on my last set and they were still ok wen I sold the bike.

Maybe but then your next set could fall apart on your first ride, seen/had it happen, I do not trust them and it is not like they are cheap and worth taking the chance.

Whack some HD tubes in, she'll be right.

DQMX have Nitro mousses. £250 a pair.

No idea what they are like but someone's got to find out....

How much!! Bit on the pricey side that. Mind suppose if feel light and last...

And not sold in big numbers yet. Hard to get hold of too.

Do not under any circumstances get the dura mousse, shite fit and its like filling your tyres with concrete. Destroys traction.

I've been running mefo mousses for 6 months now.
Very happy with them.

I'm on a mefo front I believe, no problems as expected with a mousse

I wouldn't buy a nitro mousse my mate had to cable tie his tyre on at d2d despite his mousse being a few months old.
I ended up giving him my 18 month old Michelin as I wanted to put a new one in .
The Michelin was still in a good condition when we pulled it out .
Buy yourself a rabaconda and clean and relube the mousse if you have the time to make it last longer.
The outlay is quite a bit more than going cheap but at least you won't be running cable ties or trying to get your money back like he is.

I reckon you're not really fussed about finding an answer to this question, more like you left it here to have a dig & rile Al Ranger up. Boring as fuck now & there's never going to be a winner.

True Dat! Al gives zero fucks anyways!
