Love it dude. The tire videos never get old and I still learn something new with each video.
Glad you like them! More to come... Just need to get creative in the delivery ;)
Kyle I have found your rating system to be spot on. My bike is a V85TT I’m traveling with around 85 lbs of gear. The bike came with Anakee adventure. I found the front tire to have little control in mud and sand. After reviewing you excellent comparison I installed anakee wild on the front. Transformed the bike to a sand eating machine. Training in Oklahoma for the CDR I ran with full weight. Mud, medium depth sand river stones rock outcropping. The adventure on the back was superb as was the wild on front. Super sticky. Twisties no stress taking at elevated safe speeds did not have the knob slip and grip effect when peg scraping. Taking off on my adventure 7000 miles the first part highway. Destroyed the wild on the front. The tire worn beyond 50% really started wearing at an accelerated pace. Heavy scalping noisy wobbling at highway speeds. Started the CDR at Canada and got through to Wyoming where I had a shop change the front. Got my traction back and continued through to Rawlings where I got off the trail and headed home. Back home this tire has around 2000 miles and is in great shape. I believe the elevated highway speeds ate the original front. Return trip I kept my highway speeds 65 and below. At 9000 miles the adventure on rear still has an estimated 2000 miles of wear. I plan to ride this set back to Rawlings WY via the TAT as is then put a Wild on rear for the southern part of the trail. Hopefully this arrangement will make it the 4000 miles there and back. One item of note. I did have a rear puncture on the dirt enrout to Rawlings. A rock shard penetrated the rear tire through the raised tread and punctured the tube patched and continued on had a little concern the3/8 cut center section would spread it did not. Tread was .54 I was a little put off by this. Other than that front and back performed very well. I am considering Dunlap trail max after this set. Will keep you posted. Keep up the good work! Your assessments are very credible.
Thank you for this very detailed breakdown of your findings. Sorry to hear of the puncture. I have seen two like that recently in my social feeds... Right place at the right time with an encounter with the wrong object ;) Happy to hear you got back on the road and were able to keep rolling. Michelin did a great job with both the Wild and the Adventure tires, that is for sure. The TrailMax Mission is also a GREAT tire from Dunlop. They hit it out of the park with that tire... Heavy and robust ... which is good and bad... TrailMax Mission feels like a street tire on the pavement and digs like a dirt tire off road. What more could an ADV rider ask for? Oh... and it gets decent mileage too ;) Nice work Dunlop! Looking forward to seeing the rest of your adventures!
You are my new go to tire guy! Currently running motoz gps rear with a motoz rally up front here in Baja. Seems like a good combo so far.
Thanks for your hard work making these videos for us.
Yes Sir! Thanks for watching!
I've been running the Dunlop Trailmax Mission for 5,000 on my GSA and love it.
Dunlop killed it with the Mission tire!
Hope you're doing well brother! Loving these tire vids you're turning out. Rallz for the win! Love that tire!
Glad you like them! They are my favorite of all of the tires too...
Hey Kyle! Last week I got Motoz Tractionator RallZ installed to my KTM 1190 AdvR prior going to WABDR Section 3 and 4. Tires did great on gravel and loose rocks. On road they are OK but they are noisy. I switched from Shinko 705s. When leaving to tight turn on slow speeds there seems to be an edge on front tire which is noticeable. I have not used the outer knobbies on the tires yet but as my riding confidence and skills improve I might get there. Thank you for all the tire reviews - those helped me to make my choice of tires.
Awesome! I love riding in Washington, good stuff. Happy to be of service. The RallZ will feel better and better the more you ride on them and YES the knobbies do feel different than the 80/20 tires when it comes to leaning into corners. Enjoy!
You by far have the best tire review videos! I recently did a weekend off-road adventure bike course and your videos were brought up by the instructor! I currently have a Motoz tractionator adventure on the rear of my Africa twin adv sports, and a tkc80 front. And I’m 700 km into em, and from highway, to wet slippery, slightly muddy and rocky conditions, I have to say it’s a very confidence inspiring combo with lots of traction.
Fantastic to hear BigO. What was the class that you took, I am curious. Glad to hear you are liking your combo. Next round I would suggest you try the new DV or Dual Venture front tire. It is like a "new and improved" TKC80 ;) Thank you for your support. - Kyle
@@manybikes it was with the Off-road Adventure Academy. And that is absolutely my next front tire to match this adventure Reardon sure!! Just already had this setup on the garage
Just finished off a set of Anakee Wilds on a seven week trip to South Africa and Namibia. Got 5000 miles out of the rear fully loaded two up on gravel and tar, and it was extremely hot at times. Great tyre on road, felt a bit loose on gravel but always hooked up.
Loose as a Goose but Always Hooks Up. Dirt Rider!!! Love it.
Kyle I love your videos, so informative. Can you do some more videos on front tires? Also whats your favourite tire for a combo of twisties and then gravel.
Thanks! Will do! I really like the Bridgestone AX41 for twisties and gravel. Feels like a sportbike tire and a dirt bike tire ;) But does not last long.
Loving my Anakee wild on my T7. Just completed the COBDR and it performed amazingly well. Highly recommend.
Sweet! The Ankaee Wild tires are great all around knobbies for these big bikes and they do really well everywhere! Colorado... one of my favorite US states to ride in... the passes and the valleys and the Aspen trees! LOVE Fall there!
I've loved the Anakee Wild on my Super Tenere and my GSA.
Great info. Kyle, I'm running the Mitas E07+ in the rear of my 1290 SAR, and recently change (due to bead leaking air on two tires) the front one (E07) for the MOTOZ Tractionator Adv., when I need to change that will try the Adv. on the rear and the Rallz on the front, my only con with the Adv. in the front is the loud noise at some speeds, maybe the front Rallz is a little bit quiet.
Thank you!
Good stuff! Well the info that is... My Mitas E10 front has been leaking since the day it was installed. It is RANDOM though. Sometimes it goes flat in 15 miles... and I fill it back up and it will hold for 3 or 4 days. Then I'll ride it to work and it is flat the next time I go to get on... I could not figure it out. Put it in the dunk tank twice with ZERO bubbles. Wednesday I found a large cut in the tire right at the bead. Was full pressure when I found it... FLAT in 2 minutes of ridding. Stopped, filled it up and TODAY (Friday) it still has full pressure. Go Figure!
@@manybikes that's so crazy!!...🤪
It has been frustrating... that is for sure. Good thing I carry a pump #1 and #2... thank goodness it holds air every time I pump it back up! Looking forward to the swap to the Dual Venture front tire. Got to get that done this weekend.
Dont know why anyone would pick the TKC or Anakee over the Motoz. Sure they do a decent job but you get 2-3 times the mileage from the Motoz, plus better performance I would argue. I did try the Missions recently and was impressed. Smooth like butter on pavement and surprisingly good in most other condition (except mud and sand). Big fan of your tire reviews Kyle. That’s how I discovered the Motoz and Missions. Keep doing what you are doing!
Thank you for your kind words Robert. It's my pleasure. Motoz really has become the leader in the ADV tire space when it comes to performance + longevity. Nice work Motoz. The Missions are great, I just like a little more Off Road traction when I do get off the pavement.
I love my Rallz, and good point, I can't outride em (but can't hardly outride my klr either 😄)
Ha! Ha! Ha! LOL for real here behind the keyboard. Love it...
Great video, as usual very informative and educational. I got Motoz Adventure (rear) and RallZ (front) so far I love the combination. For me it works on muddy, gravel (soft and hard-packed) and sandy (beach) terrains. Where a see a little bit of challenge is hard stone, but it also has to do that I ride a T7 so although is a "lighter" bike among the segment is still 440lb :), anyway I´m impressed with Motoz both on and off-road. Thanks and keep the videos coming
I'm running the same combination on my Tiger 900 RP. Very happy with them, especially off-road. They've done ok on wet tarmac too.
Glad you like them! That combo is a popular one... a little more aggressive up front for the "tough stuff" and the Adv in the rear for longevity. The trick to the hard stone / sharp flat edges / baby heads... air them down a bit more and let the sidewall take the impact. What pressures do you currently run in the rough stuff?
I'm running 30/30 for these based on your recommendations.
@@manybikes last rough ride i had them at 18/15 psi
@@nate.adv282 I’m running the same tire setup on my Tiger 900 RP. Currently on the TAT. How do you get around the TPMS sensor alarms/alerts on the RP with less than factory air pressure?
Love all the work you put into this. It kinda makes me sad nobody has done the same for lighter weight dual sports. I'd love to see real world comparison between TKC80's and Shinko 244's, MT21's, and D606's, etc. I'm tempted to order a durometer and tire depth gauge and get started. Is there government funding available for this important research because I'm game to shred some tires.
It’s been a labor of love… and zero funding has been provided. I’ve run all the tires you’ve mentioned but it has been a while../
GREAT video - what about the Battlax AX41 Adventurecross on a Suzuki DR650 ?
I LOVE the AX41 tires! They are the best feeling knobby on the street as they give sportbike like feedback... and in the dirt they are amazing. My issue... is the fact I got just 2k miles out of them. Not enough for me. But performance wise they are AMAZING!
I Run the Dunlop Mission Trailmax on my Triumph Tiger Rally OUTSTANDING tire on the Street or Dirt .... Worth the money !!
Great feedback William. Great feedback!
I just installed the Dunlap Trailmax Mission tires on my Kawasaki Versys X300. It was a tough install. I was going to do it myself and even bought the tire changing hand tools. After watching many other CZcams videos on the Trailmax Mission swap I got cold feet. I contacted a mobile tire service race shop and came over and we spent the better part of 3 hours beating the snot out of ourselves using a manual tire changer (clamps onto the rim) which helped and we had 4 hands free to get these tires on the X300 rims. The back was very difficult and with out the use of 2 large "C" clamps to squeeze the beads together on one side and spoon the other onto the rim we never would have made it happen. These Trailmax Mission tires are so stiff you cannot squeeze the two beads together by hand to keep the tire in the drop part of the rims. The manual tire changer was the No Mar brand and aided only in holding the rim and could not be used to get the beads onto the rear rim. The tire was too stiff. What we could have used was what is called a valve stem puller which I didn't know existed until after the job was done. Another thing that would have helped was heating up the tires as the day we did the swap it only got into the 60s degrees. Well - the job got done - swollen hands and fingers. The X300 has one of the smallest (narrowest) rear tires with the 130 size which appears to be a issue with how narrow the rim is and the rock solid tire with the free air beads only a couple of inches apart. The CZcams videos that show the tires going on easier are the big bikes with much wider rims and tire sizes like 150 which gives you a lot more room to work with. So if you're thinking about putting the Trailmax Mission tires on the X300 get help, heat up the tire to near the melting point (just kidding), buy the valve stem puller tool, use 2 large "C" clamps and don't use anything less than a mounted manual tire changer to hold the rim because two of you will be maxing out the tire levers with both hands. Why go through this torture ? - well the reviews are great and the mileage I can expect is exceptional. One of the CZcamsrs picked up a nail and ran it with no air for 26 miles with no affect on the tire or rim and seems to be essentially a run flat tire until you can get it to a shop for repair. Amazing !
Yes, the Mission tire is a "mission impossible" when it comes to installation. The carcass is SO FREAKING HARD and the sidewalls have ZERO flex. So Difficult... Lots of sweat and at least one busted knuckle for the installation. The 1" block trick I use is the only way I have been able to manually install them. The K60 Scout used to be the worst tire to install... Well Dunlop is now #1 here too! Geeze!
@@manybikes There are a lot of positives that this Trailmax Mission tire bring to the party. Your videos are what pushed me into buying them but life is like that where you can't have it all. The install is a tough one and they are heavy but I chose them as the good out weighs the bad. Thank you for your comments.
Hi Kyle, love your videos, have just bought BMW GS 1250, want to change the noisy Bridgestone A41’s for more adventure tyre, going to be mainly road use with some trail, no serious off road but live in the countryside with gritty side roads! Have Bridgestone AX41’s on my Tiger 900 but they howl, am probably going to fit TKC70 Rocks on the rear but torn between TKC70 or TKC 80 front, what’s your thoughts? Any other knobby tyres that are good and quiet’ish on road , MoToz Rallz? What’s that like on road?
Thanks for watching and for your comments. I recommend (and really like) the Dunlop TrailMax Mission on the front and the TKC70 Rocks in the rear. It’s a great quiet combo.
I have put about 40k miles on Shinko 705s last few years when I had my Super Tenere I would normally get 6k-8k out of the back tire & they are cheap enough I just replaced the front at the same time if tho it would have decent tread left, probably goes without saying but they dont do to great in the mud or even wet clay, never had them in sand but everything else I thought they did pretty good.
Putting my Motoz ADV's on the Africa Twin tomorrow and heading out for the NM BDR cant wait to get them in the dirt and see how the bike handles. And cant wait to go get lost in the mountains and desert for awhile
When do you hit the NM BDR? Starting from the West??? Maybe I can come join you for a day?
@@manybikes That would be cool, Hopefully leaving IN Saturday going to trailer to the south end of the BDR so maybe starting Monday or Tuesday, not sure but I am guessing that would put us on the west side maybe Thurs or Fri. depending on how much sand there is because I have never rode sand on anything other than a MX bike so not sure how slow I will be
cant wait for info on new trailmax raid
Yeah, me too!
@@manybikes looked first reviews and some translated and bought them, should be better for gravel and light offroad than pirellis on tenere
My TKC 80 rear tire is running low. (AX41. front is still going strong through 3 rear tires). I am torn between:
Motoz RallZ, Motoz Tractionator Adventure, or AX 41 rear.
I think I need 3 bikes to compare all 3
The RallZ is my GoTo… good mileage and performs best in deep sand and mud.
So! Here it is....next summer riding to Norway and back from Holland, 4 weeks planned, probably around 6000km, about 75% on road, going to ride the rest on the TET, (Trans Euro Trail) bike will be Tenere 700 and loaded with around 30kg gear for camping, remembering that Norway is well know for it's rain, the TET there is mostly gravel roads, I was looking at the Mitas 07+ but curious to have your opinion? currently I'm still on the stock Pirelli Scorpion STR's, so as I said very interested to hear your suggestions on a good tire combo for my situation.
Cheers Kyle and happy Christmas from a cold Europe
That sounds like a fantastic trip! The E07+ is a great tire that should go the distance. It will be close mileage wise. The E07+ will treat you well. What others have you been considering? I can speak to differences.
@@manybikes the main others that caught my eye was the “Dunlop Trailmax mission”. and the “Michelin Anakee wild”
Motoz get good reviews but are crazy expensive for me.
@@ObanHighlander 75% on-road do the TrailMax Mission
I've had the Motoz RallZ on my CRF 300 Rally for about a month and they are a huge improvement in the dirt (Florida sand) compared with the oem tires but they are noisy on pavement and squirm when running on grooved concrete (bridges). I just bought a CRF 300L (son rides with me occasionally) and I'm going to make it my 80/20 bike and the Rally will be more 50/50. That said I plan to switch wheels on the bikes and move the RallZ's to the 300L and get the Tractionator Adventure for the 300 Rally. Thoughts?
Sounds like a great plan to me! That new 300 is a sweet machine... that is for sure! Have you taken a "long ride" on the Rally yet? The 250 Rally did not do it for me... not quick enough on the highway and off-road with the stock gearing 2nd was too fast for the technical and 1st was too short for anything but shifting into 2nd ;)
which amongst these in the knobby looking are best for every day street/city use? getting for looks no offroad planned. thanks
Motoz RallZ and Dual Venture is the way I would go. If you want inexpensive, go with the Hitman 55 manybikes.company.site/products/Vee-Moto-Tires-c159476405
I just bought a DRZ400SM with 17" wheels. It currently has Rosso III street tires. But i also want to go on trails, gravel, occasional mud and sand. I am having issues find the right 50/50 tire for the front. Rear tire options are plentiful but front tire 17" not so much. Longevity is not a concern for me since i dont ride long trips or ride very often. Whats my best option for front and rear?
Yes, I have found the same problems on my 390 Duke. I am running the TKC80 in the front and the TKC70 Rocks in the rear. The TKC80 front is the best I have found.
I haven't mounted my Motoz Adventures to my DRZ yet. I've heard they may not perform as well on a smaller bike and I hope that's not the case. The trails near me are pretty technical and popular with lightweight 2 stroke enduros, bit the DRZ handles it ok, just slower. I got the Motoz tires because I wanted more mileage on pavement to get to them. We'll see.
The Motoz Adventure tires will be great on the DRZ if you got the smaller sizes and tube type. Many smaller bikes like to run the Mountain Hybrid or the Enduro IT front tire and the Adventure Rear in a 120/90-18. The 120 series Tube Type Adventure rear tire is much lighter than the other larger sizes and does work really well on smaller bikes like the DRZ. I think you will be happy with them and they will take you anywhere you want to go for MUCH longer than your buddies. Have Fun!
@@manybikes Thanks Kyle! That's the plan, more time riding and less time changing tires, and being able to really go out and find new spots without worrying about the pavement wear. Love your content, it's helped me a lot over the past couple years.
Right on! That is what I like to hear... Be safe out there.
Got a fully loaded bmw 1250gs going on a 7 day trip. Will be doing maybe 70% asphalt roads and 30-40% hard gravel roads. Thought trailmax missions at first but the stores are all out of trailmax mission front tires.
What tyres would you recomend instead? Front and rear or just another front maybe
Motoz Adventure or GPS hands down.
Loving my Dunlop Trailmax Missions! They represent the best of all worlds to me.
Dunlop hit it out of the park with the TrailMax Mission. Feels like a street tire on the pavement and digs like a dirt tire off road. What more could an ADV rider ask for? Oh... and it gets decent mileage too ;) Nice work Dunlop!
Thanks for the excellent review, Kyle! What are your thoughts about running a TKC 70 Rocks in back with a TKC 80 up front? I've got a long trip planned--plenty of pavement but would like that more aggressive front when I get in the dirt. I also like the softer sidewalls of TKC for trailside flats. Thanks!
Go for it! That is the exact combo that I have had on my 390 Duke for the last 6 months. 5k miles in now... and they are still going strong. Check out this ride: czcams.com/video/Fziyvet4A6c/video.html I am about to mount up this set-up onto my 1190 Adv R and will have more feedback then ;) I love them thus far!
@@manybikes I love that lunchtime race against the clock. Thanks a lot, Kyle. I'm looking forward to that review of the Rocks in back and TKC 80 up front on your 1190. I've got Rocks in back and TKC 70 up front on my Africa Twin (after seeing your review a few months ago!) and they have not disappointed. I'd love that more aggressive front but wonder about noise and handling in the twisties and rain on pavement. Your vids are so damn good and helpful. Thank you!
@@detouraheadmoto803 Sweet! I have for lots of years run the TKC80 up front on my BMW and 950 without issues. The TKC80 is not noisy to me... but it does have vibrations when coming to a stop. Not too bad though. I think you will like the combo, even better than the 70 front you are running... I am not a fan of that tire ;)
@@manybikes thanks, Kyle. I'm stoked to try it out. I'm grateful to you for sharing your vast knowledge and experience.
@@detouraheadmoto803 Trial & Error… and lots of it ;)
Love the info Kyle, just coming to your channel and looking at replacing the Pirelli Scorpion Trail II tires on my Multistrada V4S soon and favoring the Motaz Tractionator GPS (1st choice), TKC70, Dunlop Trailmax (don't like the weight), I don't want to much unsprung weight added and I'm about 50/50, depending on my trip plans but want good on road performance with little vibration, road noise and not feeling unstable at higher speeds on road. I see a lot of Forest Service roads (dirt and gravel primarily) but I'm leaning towards the Motaz GPS, but is there something else I'm may not be looking at from your experience? Thanks brother
Thanks for your inquiry Seth. The Motoz GPS tires are GREAT and will serve you well. Another set I might suggest is the TKC70 Rocks in the rear and the Dunlop TrailMax Mission up front might be another great set-up for you.
@@manybikes ok awesome thanks, I was also thinking of the Motaz GPS rear and Dual Venture front, or should I just stick the GPS front & rear? Thoughts? Thanks again
@@sethruter go with the Dual Venture front!
@@manybikes thanks so much for the reply, appreciate you and the great content
@@sethruter Yes sir! If you are in the US I can supply the Motoz. Just email me.
My buddy and I are doing Toronto to Tuktoyaktuk on our F800GS and F850GS respectively this coming summer. It’ll be mostly highway until we hit the Dempster highway. We’re both leaning toward the Motoz Tractionator GPS with the Dunlop Trailmax as a backup if we can’t find the Motoz (they’re nowhere to be found, but it is still February). Our total trip will be about 13k kms (8k miles). Are we barking up the right tree? Thanks…great content btw!
Right on Robert! Amazing ride... !!! The GPS would me my tire of choice mounted in the Mostly Off Road direction. If not available I'd probably go with the TrailMax Mission too... I actually like the Mission front and the GPS rear combo a lot.
@@manybikes thanks very much for the advice.....we're already planning '23 and we want to explore your neck of the woods (a warmer trip!). We'll be sure to drop by the shop if we pull it off. Again, thanks for the great content.
@@robertcooper6910 Yes Sir! I'd love to hang out and show you some local trails!
@@manybikes well that sounds like a plan!
Would that rallyz work good on a 690 ktm?..i have 606 dunlops now and the road noise and vibration is brutal
The Rallz rear and Dual Venture front is what I run on the work 690 Enduro R and they are fantastic! Went Rallz following the MT21 tires, huge improvement
I'll need to dig through you old videos...but an important metric for "smaller bikes"...(I'm on a CB500x) is weight. It would be good to discuss that across these comparisons, even casually, as you do on your deeper dives. Durometer readings aren't as important to most buyers as unsprung weight....but I did buy a Duramoter after watching your videos...:)
Ha! Ha! Ha! I do have weights of all of the 80/20 and 50/50+ tires if you are curious about a specific grouping. All of them are 90/90-21 and 150/70-18 but the weight differences for other "same size tires" will be about the same ratios I would imagine. Yeah, I feel it on my 390! On the 1190 "not so much" do I notice any extra weight. Thanks for your support.
@@manybikes Shinko 705 (they look like they may be a light tire, idk) vs MItas E-07+ in regards to weight? I have a 450 adv and am considering going for a (presumably) lighter but less off-road biased tire (70or 80/20). I currently run Mitas E07+ (different size than yours) coming from a Shinko e805/804 (two rears, 1 front) (about 23k miles on both type). Looking for weight savings and probably going to get regular tubes (not heavy duty) next time too. Thanks
@@ion123456 ok.. shinko 705 front 90/90-21 is 10 lbs 8 oz where as the same size Mitas E07 + is 10 lbs 9 oz. The rest 150/70-18 Shinko 705 is 18 lbs 4oz where the Mitas E07+ is 17 Lbs 7 oz. Hope this helps!
@@manybikes thanks, I guess it makes sense that the cut outs might reduce weight 🤷♂️.
Ha! Ha! Ha!
Hello Kyle!
Could you say something about two tires I'm interested in, but couldn't find any specific informations about them..
These are:
Dunlop D606,
Maxxis M6006
I would be grateful,
Best regards!
Sure thing! The Maxxis M6006 was used on the early KTM 640's as well as other early "adv bikes." The D606 is a great dual sport bike and rivals the Pirelli MT21. On smaller dual sport or dirt bikes (single seat bikes for the most part) these tires work well. The D606 is a better dirt tire than a street tire but holds its own. I have ridden the Maxxis M6006 but it has been so long I can't remember specifics. Sorry if this was not as helpful as you wished. ;)
Mitas E13 / E09 on Husky 701 👍👍👍
Good choice! I have been running the E10 front and rear for the past year on the 1190 and they WORK Really Really well!
I have a 2022 ktm 890 adventure r with tkc80s,I’m doing 70mi a day for the next 3 months commuting mostly highway and a little backroads,I’m looking for a set of tires that has less vibration,quitter at highway speeds, maybe a 70/30,?any suggestions would be great.
I’d suggest the Dunlop TrailMax Mission or the TKC70 Rocks in the rear with the Mission out front.
Great vid. How does the Michelin Anakee Wild compare to the Motoz Tractionator Rallz?
The Anakee Wild and the RallZ are in the same category and are very similar. The Anakee Wild is a little lighter duty, the tread depth is not as deep and it does not last as long as the RallZ. Both are fantastic Mostly Off-Road tires. Both make noise on the highway and can be bumpy when coming to a stop.
@@manybikes great info, thanks! I’m currently running Dunlop Trailmax Missions on my 2019 ATAS DCT; I think I’ll try the RallZs when the Missions wear out in about 8,000 miles lol.
Awesome!!!!
@@2wheels.are.better.than4 I have the same bike. How you feel about those Mission tyres? On the rain? Noise? Longevity?
@@madeiraonwheels They are great in the rain, they make very little noise, and they are good for at least 8000 miles. Only weakness: deep sand.
Hey Kyle. Is there an email I can use to contact you. Super disappointed with my E09 dakar's and looking at the motoz lineup
Sorry to hear of your disappointment. kbradshaw@azmotocity.com or Manybikes at gmail. Or you can reach out on social media.
Mitoz is sketchy on marbles too!
At higher pressures, I would agree. With all of these tires at the same pressure I find the Motoz had the best straight line traction of them all - unless it was worn out and the others were new ;)
I find it frustrating that people keep switching back and forth between %street to dirt and %dirt to street. So an 80-20 is street bias tire, right? 👍🏻
Yes, exactly... I totally agree! Well, actually I don't agree with the rating system to begin with and that is the reason I began doing these tires tests in the first place! Typically street biased tires are rated 80/20 (higher street and less dirt) ... but when companies began to make 50/50 tires that changed it up. Now the more "aggressive tires" typically list the % Dirt first as it is a knobby tire and knobby tires are for dirt. Confusing I know. I also dislike the idea that you choose a tire on a percentage of how much dirt or street you ride... When I ride on the street I want a tire that sticks 100%, corners 100% and stops 100% .... And when in the dirt I want a tire that gets 100% traction. So... percentage wise I think it is silly. The Motoz RallZ tire is a 100% street and 100% dirt tire in my opinion. It does both REALLY well with nearly zero compromise. Maybe I'd knock 10% off as it is lound and has some vibration on the street? But it stops perfectly and I have been unable to "out ride it" on the street. It's a mess... that is for sure.
@@manybikes yes, I see what you’re saying that if I look at a knobby and it’s called an 80-20 obviously since it’s a knobby it’s 80 dirt. I agree with everything you’re saying, and wouldn’t that make a RallZ a 50-50 😆
I haven’t tried the Rallz yet but hope to next, I’m currently enjoying my AX41 AdventureCross but as you’ve noted where’s the tread depth?!
Love it. I say we give both dirt and street a 100% rating and the amount of suck the tire has in that area will degrade its 100% score. So... the RallZ is 90% street (it does have vibrations -5% and is louder than other knobbies -5%) and 100% dirt... there is not really anywhere this tire does not do really well off-road.
How does the Motoz Tractionator DESERT HT compare to the rallZ and Adventure?
Motoz or nothing! Had both the Adv and Rallyz.
Never Anakee ever again.
Ha! Ha! Ha! I'll send this to Motoz... they will LOVE it! Thanks for your support.
