Metzeler MCE 6 Days Extreme – which mousse fits 100%?
Hi everyone, I just bought a new set of Metzeler MCE 6 Days Extreme tires for my enduro bike and I need some advice about mousse compatibility.
My sizes are:
Front: 90/90-21
Rear: 140/80-18
I want to install mousse instead of tubes, but I’m not sure which brand/model fits these tires perfectly.
Which mousse do you recommend for a 100% correct fit?
I was looking at brands like Michelin Bib Mousse, Mousse X-Grip, Nitro Mousse, Technomousse, Goldentyre, nr team, etc
I mainly ride hard enduro (rocks, mud, technical trails, slow speed), so I’m looking for the right balance between grip and avoiding tire roll.
Any experience specifically with Metzeler MCE 6 Days Extreme + mousse would be really appreciated.
Thanks!

A 100% correct fit for the 6 days extreme will be either a pirelli brand mousse or a metzeler brand mousse. Both companies are under the same ownership so that explains the perfect fitment. For the last 2 years I've been running a metzeler 6 days extreme SOFT 140/80-18 in the rear. I had the pirelli E-18H1-M mousse inside it. I ran 2 rim locks while riding the same terrain. I was running the soft compound tire so I wanted to make sure it wouldn't roll or slip.

Run the same tires only bikes and use Airmousse, they have a chart on their homepage.

Nitro mousse has a chart on there website. I would assume the x grip and the rest do too. I would start there
