The Mitas Sport Force+ RS is a high-performance rear motorcycle tire designed for riders who demand precise handling, strong acceleration traction, and dependable stability during aggressive street riding and track-day use. This rear tire features a 200/55ZR17 (78W) fitment and is engineered for supersport and sport naked motorcycles that require a performance-focused tire with a broad operating range. The Mitas brand combines racing development with road-ready construction, making the Sport Force+ RS suitable for public-road use while providing the performance characteristics expected at the race track.
The specially developed Racing Soft (RS) compound is designed to deliver exceptional grip and control at extreme lean angles while maintaining superb straight-line stability at high speeds. Its high-performance construction supports accurate steering response and consistent rider feedback during hard cornering, braking, and acceleration. The tire is W-rated for speeds up to 168 mph, making it well suited to high-performance motorcycles when properly installed and used within the motorcycle manufacturer’s recommendations. For track use, Mitas recommends using tire warmers for at least 50 minutes at 176°F and following the appropriate hot and cold tire-pressure guidelines to identify the best setup for the motorcycle, track conditions, and riding style.
Tested by Randy Krummenacher, the Mitas Sport Force+ RS is developed to help riders achieve fast, consistent lap times on supersport and sport naked motorcycles. The road-legal design provides flexibility for riders who travel to the circuit on their motorcycle rather than using a dedicated race tire. Proper fitment should be confirmed against the motorcycle manufacturer’s specifications, wheel width, load requirements, and clearance before installation. This product is identified by Mitas manufacturer and vendor part number 70001297. Professional installation, balancing, and correct tire pressures are recommended for safe performance. The tire’s racing-oriented compound may require appropriate warm-up and careful riding until operating temperature is reached.
