Motoz Tractionator GPS Tire Review in the "MOSTLY OFF ROAD" Position ... the PERFECT SOLUTION!

- The Motoz Tractionator GPS tire when ran in the "mostly off road" postion is the best ... almost perfect tire FOR MY BMW 1250 GSA! If you are looking for the perfect tire that will perform well on asphalt and well on dirt .. this is the tire.
The GPS can be ran in either direction. One direction the tire is a 50/50 tire ... which means it's capable of performing well on asphalt and dirt equally. Turn the tire in the opposite direction ... in the "mostly off road" position and the tire will perform better in dirt ... however, the mostly off road position will keep good characteristics for asphalt as well ... still fairly quiet and grippy.
If you purchase this tire and ride in dirt ... mount in the "mostly off road" postion. It will be perfect (except of course in deep sand :)).
Please leave your comments about your experience with the GPS tire ... I 'd love to hear from you!

06:12 FINAL CONCLUSION - Auta a dopravní prostředky
I ran the GPS on the rear of my Tenere 700 and did 2 BDRs Loved it! I have almost 7000 miles on it. I will switch it out as the lugs are now losing their edges. If I was only using it for mostly pavement I would get another 3000 miles on it.
Great tire!
Very good reviews: both of these GPS videos!
Pretty much all channels review the tire in the 50/50 orientation. You are virtually the only channel that inhave found that talks about this tyre in the offroad orientation...
Very real reviews: well-done & thanks you!
For my R1200GS Rallye, I have the Mitas E07 + and they are 50/50. Great tyres in wet roads and goods tyres off road. For long trip with on and off road I thing they are a good compromise.
Had a set of these on my Africa Twin. They were really good on the road and decent offroad for the first 3500 miles. The front started herniating (bulges started forming under the tread) and the rear cracking (not severe) about that time so swapped them out. Running recommended PSI, climate controlled storage, etc. Plenty of tread left but the front looked like it was ready to fail. Could have been a case of bad luck, the roads get really hot here so it coulda been temp related as well.
If you google this tire you will see there have been tons of delaminations/bad batches/failures so just keep an eye on them if you decide to get this tire.
Getting mine installed next week. I will let you know. how awesome they are soon.
I'm on about 500 miles with them now and had them in some technical rocky hill climbs and on the tar. Performance exceeded my expectations. I did air down 10 psi in the dirt per what others have recommended. I would rate them as an excellent choice for my use case. And they look bad ass.
My next tire for my BMW F850 GSA.
I have run my GPS for 9500 miles in the mostly dirt direction on a KTM790ADVR, it has been great. I am going to replace next week. It works great in the wet too. I have not been concerned with traction.
I let the back end rip. If I rode easy I am sure I could get 12K miles.
Excellent report! I have the KTM 890 Adventure, and I have the RALLZ mounted. A beast of a tire, BUT DAMN loud!!!!
I ride everywhere I go, so I was considering the GPS vs the Motoz Adventure tire.
I think this video & your comment JUST sold me on the GPS in mostly offroad.👍
@onemileattatime2642 I ran the Rallz many miles ago and only got 4500 miles out of them. I am contemplating the Adventure or the GPS again. I am at 10K miles and the GPS is slick.
@@ktmoutdoors4586 slick as in damn good for what it is, or legitimately slick?
@@onemileattatime2642 it has lived a good life. Would love to post a picture.
Great review! What tire pressure did you run them on?
Personal preference, right? 30 if all day on dirt ... 36 all day street. This is certainly not a suggestion :) Follow the recommended tire pressures for you bike.
What tire pressure did you decide on?
Kyle Bradshaws channel recommends about 20-24psi offroad *unloaded, and about 24-28 loaded.
Normal manufacturer's psi for street.
What's your take?
@@dangerdave8080 Thanks! Agree that it's a personal preference. We are the local distributor in our country and the feedback we keep on getting fe our customers with the Motoz is to run them at low temps as they're too slippery at "normal" pressures. I think 30 makes sense but knowing that it can go as low as 24 off road is helpful!
Cheers. What is the gps tyres like on wet roads please?
I only have about 40 miles on wet roads. I'm naturally a slow rider ... they were good for my pace. The GPS I have found to be a great tire for my purposes ... and in the "Mostly Off Road" direction ... pretty good in the sand. Thanks for watching the video!
What are your thoughts on the GPS Front tire offroad?
**Would you recommend to keep the GPS tires (front / rear) paired, or would you keep the rear in offroad paired with a different front tire?
Currently inhave the MOTOZ Dual Venture tire, and it performs well on road l, in the wet, offroad, sand, rocky, BUT it does howl quite a bit on tarmac.
I ponder if the GPS front is too tame in the sand or gravel...
Today in preparation for riding to Redmond,OR for the BMW RALLY.... I replaced the rear with the Tractionator Adventure ... much more robust than the GPS ... I'm not sure what kind of dirt/mud I'll come across in Redmond ... also, the Adventure is fairly quiet for a knobby tire (700 miles of highways one way). I left the GPS on front ... I'd rather have a knobby up front ... but they are all so loud ... stuck with the GPS front for this trip. Certainly giving something up on the front with deep sand/mud ... hopefully the paddle on the rear will propell the bike through the sand and mud.
Tires on motorcycles is so much personal preference ... how this helps!
Thanks for watching!!!!!!!!
No no no unless you got a death wish
Which tire changer are you using?
Rabaconda Street Tire Changer
I have 23 GSA Trophy but NO dirt riding experience okay just a tad with my previous GS HP with Anakee Adventures… Question that Im compelled to ask is this:
How much confidence inspiring are these Motoz tires on the dirt on the 50/50? In addition mileage/longevity. Thanks in advance. Take care from balmy Arizona🫡🇺🇸🌵
They work well on dirt ... I would stay away from deep sand ... also, consider mounting in the mostly dirt position ... even better in dirt. Longevity ... I would expect on asphalt 5-6k ... of course depends on riding style. Thanks for watching!
@@dangerdave8080 much appreciated!!
