Great comparison. It is pretty clear where Viking got their "inspiration" from. Almost feels like they could be made in the same factory they are so close. Curious to learn about the company. They are advertised as designed in California, but clearly, with their Adv gear, that is not the case. Sadly, while I disagree with copying someone else's work, Mosko charges over premium prices for what you get, which comes from someone who owned Mosko gear. In fact, I was an early adopter and really liked what they were doing. Now, I think they are chasing the dollar signs and not what their core was. I tried to buy some of their newer stuff, but when it arrived I just could not come to terms with the price vs what you get. That's just my opinion. I am not a business guy, just a consumer.
New old wheels...FUN!! I have an old Toyota pickup I've been working on.
Id wish this was a Toyota, those truck are near impossible to find here, most are rotted away.
@@dimsyadventures I lucked out, mine is an AZ truck.
I am in the same boat. I have ridden all around the country. For some strange reason, I've been having anxiety about getting injured on the bike and risking all I have worked for.
Sort of crazy that you say that, I was worried about the same thing on my Utah trip a few weeks ago, sure enough I went down and reinjured my neck, I've been back home for 2 weeks? Still pretty sore
I@dimsyadventures I posted a video on my channel this morning on the topic. I was leaving on a motorcycle trip to the smoky mountains at 1am. I decided not to go. Was looking up the topic to see if I was the only person who felt like me when I found your video and channel.
@@ohiobackroads1548 there's , few trips I never took sometimes I've turned around not far from home too.. I need to make an update of my video, since theres not a part 2..
Hmm I generally run 30/35 psi on my AT cause I’m constantly switching between dirt and paved roads. Been running the Shinko 804/805 They’re good at 100mph and not noisy. I can safely lean the bike way over while cornering on pavement with them and they still do pretty decent off-road … but I’m only getting about 4k out of the rear so I’m thinking of switching to motoz or maybe these next.
Thanks for the honest review and details of tire pressure you run and the terrain you rode.
You mentioned front tire wear. Did the front tire have every third knob have wear more than the other two? If so, what did you do to try to fix it?
I've talked about tire wear in both of my reviews, there's nothing you can do to fix it it's , it's happening on every single off-road tire that has said a decent amount of payment, doesn't matter the brand or anything...just what happens when you run an offroad tire on the pavement
@@dimsyadventuresare you heavy on the front brake on pavement? I try to use as little as possible. It seems to help with that
@@IAmYourReflection not really, it does prolong a little, but at the cost of burning up rear pads, riding daily they go quickly
What tubes do you use?
OEM on the rear for AT and honestly I don't know what's in the front, kinda forgot, I use standard duty thickness (2mm?), heavy duty has no benefits for me since I don't run low PSI
Oh man, how I can relate! 😂
I just put on the tusk waypoint tires. I think they are a bit more aggressive than 2track.
They are quite similar, just designed for lighter bikes.
@@dimsyadventures I checked the front and rear tire of 2track and waypoint and they are about the same weight rating. I've got my waypoint on my t7. I will test them, looking for a cheaper alt to motoz tractionator/dual venture.
@@TheFoxyt2I’d prob try them too but they don’t make a 150
@@xXRedEyedStrangerXx yes, waypoint for front tire and 2track for rear. The 2track are super heavy, so maybe they are more heavy duty so I might try a front 2track on my old t7. and keep the waypoint on my newer t7. thanks for the reviews!
@@TheFoxyt2 I’m not so much of a fan of the tusk front so I will certainly look into that. I do like the stiffness, also like the Mitas Dakar, want that puncture resistance and rugged carcass I can ride home on a flat with
If you’ve ran alot of tires…how do they compare to the Mitas E07. This tire, and the Mitas E07 is my choices✌️
Which e07? They make a few models, if it's the 50/50 tire, it's not comparable to 2track since it's a much more road happy tire
The older version with the smaller lugs
@@toddbenfield6546 complete different style of tire, would be better in road but that's it probably
Nice hack! Thanks for sharing. I'm in the process of making removable pannier racks for my klr, in order for me to also run soft bags.
Nice job, looks like an awesome Adventure
I called them and they were great about getting it dealt with. I received my new tire in two days with a credit for mounting.
Same experience, I wasn't worried about the recall since technically I had the tire ready for replacement, they still insisted so i got a new rear.. Currently riding in Utah with a few RM guys in my 2nd set of 2 track, holding up well!..new video soon and final review of 2nd set as well.
Gonna try a 2track front with waypoint rear on my klr. It's super squirrelly in gravel with the shinko 804/805s on it currently at 30psi, may try playing with pressures but I doubt it'll help
Funny enough, I used to be a huge fan of that shinko, like to the point I wouldn't use anything else, about 4 years ago I had some issues with the set in the traction department, 2 years ago I tried again on my BMW GSA, I have the same exact issues you talk about, they were very unpredictable even in gravel, so I left that brand all together, they're okay tires if you just need tires however
@dimsyadventures yah they came on the klr when I bought it, it's an 05 probably about 70% life left on the front and maybe 30% left on the rear. The road I have issues on is just your standard forest service road with light gravel on top of hard pack and it's all over the place, glad to know I'm not crazy and it's likely just the tires, it sucks because they do so good everywhere else especially on pavement and hard pack at highway speeds
Everyone has to decide for themself. As long as you enjoy it, keep riding. I quit riding for quite a while due to family, work, and finances. Now, that working is mostly behind me, I found that motorcycling is a very important part of my life. Solo travel and solo camping keep me sane. I've never been to the southeast US, so that's on my bucket list.
The last 3.5 years of work took a lot of time away, and just the mental part, couldn't disconnect from it..when I did travel it was for work, so I really could do much but ride there..before that I was so broke in couldn't manage a bike trip...but I some how managed 2 of them. Southeast is humid and hot, with bugs..Gulf Coast is a sight to see no doubt, Appalachia is flat stunning, and mid-southwest Missouri/northwest Arkansas is amazing too (super old "Ozark" mountain range) Everything in between looks pretty similar haha
Enjoy your adventures. Listen to your body & instincts in the heat & high altitudes, & have a safe trip!❣🏜🏞
I hope you don’t quit riding my friend! But if you do, make this trip an epic one! Can’t wait to hear how it goes. Wish I could go with!
Have a great journey. Just stay positive and remember to take care of yourself and sometimes we all need to take a break. Just from the videos it seems that you definitely have a passion for motorcycles and vlogging. Life is very short and all we have at the end are memories. Just take the time to look around on this ride and I hope you keep on keeping on two wheels. Be safe out their.
I’m hoping you decide to keep riding, because sports are over and my wife will be able to drive again in a few weeks…and I am really missing my two-wheel time! Sounds like an amazing trip! I envy ya!
I feel ya, I'll be 58, and well.. Que Sera, Sera amigo!
Great review, what are they like on mud,as I live in Scotland and it rains constantly.
There's some mud in the off-road testing video, every tire sucks in the mud on a bike bike
I have a 2017 Africa Twin, same colors as yours. I converted my rear wheel to tubeless using the 3M tape method and a 90 degree Ariete valve stem. Makes tire changes much easier. And roadside repairs are from the outside. Generally punctures happen to the rear wheel. So far I’ve been using Shinko 705’s on it, but just got a set of these Tusk tires to go on next. I’ve been mounting and balancing my own tires for a long time. The biggest secret is all about getting the opposite bead in the drop-center of the rim. I’ve even mounted a car tire on the back of an FJR1300 (ended up not liking the dark-side) using spoons. It’s all about the technique, not brute force.
For the extra minute or 2 it takes for a tube I'll stick with those, id still be carrying a rear tube in case the seal fails. I've been changing bike tires for many years with my beadpros, generally it takes no more then 5 minutes to put a new tire/tube in. These tusk tires and trail max mission are the only 2 with very stiff sidewalls that have been a slight annoyance for ne...plus I have very large hand which absolutely doesn't help
Great review covered all the topics, very clear into the point. You earned my subscription thank you
I try to be short and informative when I do review, thanks for the support ☺️
Did you balance the tires before installing? How do the tires balance out?
Yea I mentioned I balanced them in other videos, both sets have taken minimal weight.
Subscribed, enjoy your work
Appreciate it!
Just ordered a 2 track for the rear and a waypoint for the front of my 2017 Africa Twin. I have been running Shinko 705’s front and rear, which are great on road, but not as great off pavement. I have converted my rear to tubeless (3M tape method) but run a tube up front. I live in Vermont where there are more unpaved roads than paved, so having a better offroad tire will be welcome.
Gonna be putting a set on my AT the week
Good advice on trying different things w/ set-up w/ new tires. I purchased some Dunlop Trailmax mission tires - thought they were complete garbage! Speed wobbles any time I went over 90, didn't handle well on or off road. Eventually realized most of the problems were due to not having suspension set up correctly, running too high tire pressure. The Missions still aren't my favorite tire, but I can see where they would have their place on a long trip (home to Arctic circle and back) etc. Side benefit, I learned how to properly adjust my suspension!
Good to hear, it's a hidden "feature" many don't bother trying to fix, or don't know suspension isn't just how comfortable on your backside is over bumps 😆
Good deal. I have a fresh set of 2 Track on my T7 and I am also headed to Utah on the 18th. We only got to Green River on the BDR last year but i was on my 1290SA-R. This year I will be solo on the T7. I sure hope these tires will be up to the task, I’m sure they will though. I did a test ride in the Texas hill country and they worked great. Unable to test the sand capability though.
Dimsy, great review, I'd have to agree 💯, for the price, these are my UNICORN 🦄tires! Good luck in the sand, steer with your FEET! Safe travels..
I've been riding in Utah twice(on the enduro trails), its one of my favorite places on Earth... Enjoy
So how would you compare these to Motoz Tractionators or RallZ for offroading?
Fairly similar, one may do a touch better/worse in certain conditions but not enough to matter. If one was to ride technical offroad, Motoz may offer more, but realistically who buys a big bike to ride hard single track type stuff alot Some claim big miles from Motoz, I never got over 5-6k, except GPS where I got around 8k from a rear
Appreciate you man ! 👍 I bought these tires because of your reviews . Still have to mount them on my TA but I'm expecting similar performance and mileage
Hey no problem, glad to help!
Nice brother and thanks for sharing- cheers 🍻
Bravo!
got same bags sines 2018 and still holding up 40 k miles on them drop it many times still good
I must not have luck with these, I bought a set back when they were pretty new to the market(yellow ones) and broke them the same way, just some stupid slow layover..
@@dimsyadventures i ges my are better made then yours lol i use them on my at for years now they on my t7 czcams.com/users/shortsJxpL_VQnhBU?si=nLQmCQ-bmot7Rsqm

Never know what to expect in your videos, but yep, very entertaining 😅 but informative! 👍
Zippers are the failure point on the tank bags I have owned. I have had both the Tusk and Kawasaki bags.
Good to know, luckily I've never had a zip failure yet on my Tusk
I hate how it's just a copy of Mosko Moto. Not original at all, which is very disappointing. They just stole the bag.
Yea it's pretty close no doubt, that's why I made a specific video comparing the 2.
Lookin good man! All that battleborn gear was surprisingly good and at a bargain price! Hope you get the same out of the MSR gloves.
If you're capable DIY is always the best choice. That being said...some people should never touch a wrench 😅
I made a rule for myself, if it's taken apart or I hear " I seen it online" I won't mess with it..almost always more trouble then it's worth. I've seen some just stupid things people tried to fix.
Before buying the bike, I buy the owners manual. Once it leaves the dealer, they never get their damn mits on it again.
Me too buddy. I’ll have another one day. Won’t be letting go of my twin though!
I do all my own work too. I try to have a factory manual for each bike I own.
Factory manuals are the best.
Also a recall for tusk... see rockymtn mc atv
Yea I made a video on that a few days ago
What traction setting were you on 1 bar...2..3
On road it's default, off-road I usually turn it off I dislike the traction control very much, in fact I wish it never had it.
@@dimsyadventures- I have the same bike, and I agree. I’d like to find a way to disable the TC permanently, but leave ABS available for on-road.
Walmart is out of stock. I'm going to try some from Amazon.
Do you know what the recall will look like? Are the shipping new tires out to owners?
Not sure yet since it's so new, if I get any updates I'll be making a video about it.
So viking basically used all mosko R&D and did an almost exact ripoff product? Seems greasy.
Can't confirm, but looks pretty close.
Interesting. Well, hope the product works out for you for some good trips. 👍
I probably won't be using it, I'm so used to how I travel and pack, it feels weird /in the way...once the testing video is out(few weeks) I'll probably donate it to a friend.
Wow. I’ve got them on my AT as well.
