Hi Kyle, another great summary of the most on demand tires for adventure riders. I must say you helped me a lot in choosing the tires for my KTM 1190 Adv-R, not only for your professional point of view but also because we are riding the same bike. I usually ride on a mix of gravel/mud/sand. I am on the second set of Michelin Anakee Wild, I can't ask for more. Besides, they perform very well also on tarmac (dry and wet). Thanks again for the awesome job you have done in reviewing all these tires!

Thanks for your support. I'd suggest the new Dual Venture front from Motoz. I think you will like it.
Really solid review. I went from TKC80s to the TKC70 Rocks on my R1200GS because I wanted better street performance. The 70 Rocks is “enough” in the dirt, but it requires me to pick my line and be conservative with what I’ll attempt in the dirt. I’m eyeballing the AX41s so I can be more adventurous off road without giving up street performance.

WARNING! Once you ride the AX41 you will be in LOVE but... you will be changing tires every 2k or so... The TKC70 Rocks I have found to be similar on the road but about 30% less capable off road as compared to the AX41. Have fun!
Another amazing video! Your videos are the most comprehensive, and real world ADV tire information I’ve found. Big fan of the MotoZ RallZ and Adventure tires.

Hey Kyle, great round up of the 50/50 tires. I think a lot of folks considering a 50/50 tire for their big adventure bikes want to consider road noise as one of their criteria. I've ridden the Karroo 3, the Trail Max Mission, the Motoz Adventure front and rear, and the Motoz Adventure Rear/Dual Venture front. All on a R1200GS. My Trailmax was the quietest, when it was fresh it did pretty well on dirt and gravel but sucked in the mud. It did really well on loose and jagged rocks. It felt great on the road and after 7000 miles I took it off and yet it still has tread left for next summer road trips. I also rode my friends r1200gs with Karoo 3's, it hooked up better in the dirt than the TrailMax but was noisy as hell and also vibrates. before the Trailmaxs I had the Motoz Tractionator Adventure on the front and rear and they hooked up as well as the Karoo 3's but the front was noisy and cupped quickly and vibrated at low speed on the road. Now I have a fresh Adventure Rear and the Dual Venture front and it hooks up great in dirt and gravel, feels very smooth on the road, and it's almost as quiet as the Trailmax. I think for the kind of riding I do (50/50) the Motoz Adventure Rear with Dual Venture Front is a great combo. If I'm going to do a multi state road trip with some gravel roads I put the Trailmax back on.

Fantastic feedback! Yes, the Karoo 3 are some of the bumpiest tires I have ridden on an ADV bike and they are loud too. The Desert HT is the LOUDEST ADV tire I have ever run... like a 4x4 truck on super swampers is running next to you the entire ride... WOW! I had an issue judging noise as I as on like 9 different bikes for all of these tires. The bikes with the Yosh and Leo pipes "tire noise" was not so apparent. However... the Africa Twin, CB500X BMW with stock mufflers the noises were much more pronounced. Thanks for your support! I too LOVE the ADV and DV combo as an all around 50/50 set-up.

Excellent summary, thanks Kyle. One thing you should add as a point of difference between the Motoz Adventure and RallZ: the RallZ (and the GPS) has extra silica and is designed for improved wet performance. The Adventure is ok for DRY mileage, but if you ride in the wet, either on-road or off, consider the RallZ.

Having tried almost every adventure tyre on the market from a Dunlop 606 to a Bridgestone Battleaxe, I can honestly say the Motoz tyres are the best I have ever used. The Tractionator Adventure gives exceptional grip in all conditions, including wet pavement, sand, gravel and mud with and exceptionally long life of 8000km-plus. I am yet to find better and with be sticking with these Aussie beauties for the foreseeable future.

Excellent video - thank you for sharing your wisdom! I have a 2007 KTM 640 Adventure and my riding experience is heavily-biased to off-road. I currently have DOT approved knobbies, so like a 20/80% on/off road bias. They are not always confidence-inspiring on pavement and are certainly more noisy than most other 50/50 tires I have ridden with, but are excellent in deeper gravel and the dirt; noisy on the road and wear quickly. However, I am looking to move back to more of a 50/50 setup as I want to ride a couple of dual-sport loops into Montana (Whitefish area) and the eastern Kootenay's (Grey Pass) in Canada this summer. I stick to paved secondary highways, dirt double track and gravel roads (these can be more dirt, to double track-worn 'grooves' where the vehicles have pushed the gravel away, to more uniform loose gravel.) Rarely do I ride deep gravel. I want to be able to have the tire longevity to get a 3000-4000 kms out of them this summer to complete these trips without having to replace them during the loops. I estimate the rides will be 50-70% paved with the rest dirt and loose gravel. I weigh 215lbs (plus another 40-ish pounds of gear.) (The Dunlop Trailmax Mission sounded/looked good at 50/50 but given it's weight and I am on a 640, kind of made me wonder...) What would you recommend? Thank you again!
@manybikes

Awesome!!! Your 640 us a unicorn of a bike.... super fun! For your bike and the riding you will be doing, I would recommend the Motoz RallZ in the rear and the Tube Type Dual Venture tire in the front. The street grip / confidence is fantastic and the off-road nature of the tire is fantastic. I think you will be impressed.
G'day Kyle, Great comparison! I'm sure I'm not the only one that would be very interested in a similar comparison for tubed tyres for lighter adventure bikes like the Tenere 700 and limited to those that have sidewalls that are soft enough to enable trackside puncture repair with a decent set of tyre levers.

Like the others have said, I really appreciate your review of these tires. I've taken your advice for a few purchases! Two things you may consider including: 1) the difference in cost verses avg mileage. For example, the AX-41 may only have an avg life span. But it cost about $100 LESS than a set of MotoZ Adv Tractionators. (I've used both.) 2) I'm curious about the more aggressive tires that Mitas and Golden tyre offer. Be well! And thanks!

Thank you very much for all of your in-depth reviews! Most people are concerned about rear tires and rear tire mileage, but I personally have struggled with finding a front tire I like. Any chance you could dive into some front tire reviews? All my buddies run the TKC80 front but I hate how quickly it gets cupped and it never lasts as long as my rear tire (Motoz Adventure) and I've just had the same experience with the Bridgestone front. Would be great to get some of your mileage/testing/networking expertise on the best front tires for mileage+traction+on road performance. Thanks again for all your hard work!

Hello Kyle, Great informative presentation of different tires. I always look at your KZread informative films, great job time after time. I am looking for some advise on the following. We are planning a trip in May of about 2500 miles. This will be a mix of tarmac and off-road. My current choise is the MOTOZ Tractionator adventure or Rallz. Now I heard through experience that these tires gives a wobble at higher speeds. The new MOTOZ adventure front tire would minimise that. However that tire is not available in the Netherlands (as far as I know). What tire would you be advising to minimise the wobbling at higher speeds. It would be great if that front tire would last 3000 miles as well. Thanks for your support. Greetings Jan

Another important thing to consider is puncture resistance. A softer tire with big gaps between knobs can increase the chance for puncture. Also the stiff sidewall has advantages when hitting rocks and protecting the rims. In that regard it seems the motoz and trailmax have a real edge in both these things. And maybe the trailmax because of the narrow grooves between tread blocks and having the stiffest sidewall.

Great review Kyle! I took your advice on the RallZ and mounted a set on my T7 for my 11,000 mile 53 day TAT trip. I live in Virginia and did a little more than the TAT Trail including some Continental divide trail, Moab Hell’s revenge and slick rock, up to Jackson Hole etc. I replaced them with the same in Oregon with 6,000 miles on them. I did the Pacific Coast Highway, California desert Barstow to Vegas, then home (4,000 miles) and still had a good bit of tred left. Traction was not as good as the MotoZ Hard Terrain but quieter on the highway and better grip in the twisties. Overall I am very pleased with them. When I got home I installed a set on my wife’s KTM 390 Adventure. Have you ever run RallZ rear with H/T front? I feel that might be a good setup in the woods with soft or muddy conditions but a tad sketchy on the road. Thanks, Jason

Great follow-up Jason! Your trip sounds like it was AMAZING!!! We should have hooked up (not like that... but for a ride) when you were passing through! I'd travel any where south of Vegas from the water to NM.... Food for thought. The Desert HT is a 90% off road tire and it DOES out perform the Rallz in the technical dirt, but the RallZ is much better on the road. I HAVE run the Desert HT up front and the RallZ in the rear... but for the 390 Adv I would recommend the Tube Type Dual Venture tire in the front and the RallZ on the rear. That combo is SWEET!

motoz tractionator gps and heiden..k60 are long-wearing, center tread dominant, not as good in wet roads as shinko 705/805... although plenty stay safe using them, just get used to the slide in corners when wet, read up on their characteristics. I've run bias and radial 805's, and 705 and would not hesitate to take 705 anywhere except mud or several days of deep sand, it did 100 in CO BDR many rocky passes/steep/ streams/sand, grips like crazy out there on angular granite dust/sand/stone/streams

@@galehess6676 Thanks for the response Gale! I ended up with a GPS on the rear and another 804 on the front on my wire wheels. Surprisingly, the GPS started tearing after 500 miles. Motoz stood up and is in the process of replacing it at no charge (and they accepted a change in size since I subsequently bought a 17 GSA during the process). I kept a set of 705s on my alloys and I agree, they are a great, inexpensive, all-rounders. I do wear them out fast though, rear never lasting more than 4K. I recently bought the GSA, used, fitted with near new Anakee 3s (had a set on my GS last year for a month long trip...great tire on pavement and got over 8K miles out of the rear!), so that "new" GPS may sit on the shelf a while (or sold off)

@@orangelion03 never a dull moment with tires lol. Last month I got 5k on 705 loaded touring, about 600+ off pavement in CO (Ophir 2x, Corkscrew, Cinnamon, Imogene, Kebler, et al). Going to try TKC 70's now, dual compound, may try 70 Rocks rear and do NEBDR next month. Shinkos have always stood up to what I can dish out, but I am not fast, just moderate, but was air born a few inches 3 dozen times in a day on section 3. I did rip the rocks as fast as I could on a Vstrom 650 XT but suspect larger bikes dish more pain lol. poor tires.

Hey ! Great content as always, thank you! I have a question for you: Motoz isn’t very spread across the European market… and I’m looking for a more aggressive tire than my current Anakee Wild that are good on dry terrain, but show their limits when it gets soft and muddy. As my Africa Twin is tubeless, i don’t have lots of options: Mitas E-09 or Motoz RallZ. The Mitas is really a good agressive 80% off road, I can’t go wrong with it. However the RallZ is advertised as the most off road oriented tyre of the brand but i seriously doubt it’s more than 50%… Finally comes my questions: - How do you position the Motoz RallZ compared to a Mitas e-09 in terms of off road abilities ? - Could you add Mitas tires in your reviews ? - What other more agressive tubeless tire could you think about that could fit my africa twin, than the two I mentioned for soft and muddy terrains ? Thanks a lot !!

Thanks for your feedback and inquires Anthony. The Motoz RallZ or the Motoz Desert HT will be the tow most aggressive tires you can run on your Tubeless bike. The E10 and E09 are also Great Choices. I have run the Mitas and have tested them, but I have a hard time getting ahold of them here. If I were in your shoes I'd run the RallZ.

Thanks for your very quick answer ! mitas is easy to get here, and half the price of the motoz. Last two questions for you: So according to you the RallZ is as off road oriented as the E09 ? And as a Motoz experienced pilot, does the RallZ has good traction in the mud? I’m asking because I assume the compound is rather hard if it has a high mileage, which isn’t the best for soft terrain. Thanks !!

Don't know about the RallZ but I've run both the Mitas E10 and E09. There's not much between them for traction IMO but the E09 has bigger tread depth and lasted about 50% longer. Trying the E07+ now and I've just done a 4500km trip both tarmac and gravel with a bit of soft stuff using them and they handled everything well and have lots of tread left. Should get 8-10,000 km from them I'm guessing. I'll be putting the E09's back on when they are shot though, love them and they have better off-road capabilities. The E10 is rated a bit higher in terms of top speed but with the E09 at 170kph that's enough for me. Triumph Scrambler XE.

Good Morning Excellent comparison, thank you very much. My question is about the noise. I used the TKC80, it's a very silent tire, I switched to Anakee Wild and I think it's very noisy. I have friends who have the Motoz, it's an excellent tire but extremely noisy. I want to buy an AX41 set, what can you tell me about the noise? Thank you very much and I apologize for my failures in English.

I LOVE the AX41 and it is pretty quite as compared to some of the others. The TKC80 is "middle of the road" when it comes to noise in my book and the Karoo 3 are some of the bumpiest tires I have ridden on an ADV bike and they are loud too. The Desert HT is the LOUDEST ADV tire I have ever run... like a 4x4 truck on super swampers is running next to you the entire ride... WOW! I had an issue judging noise as I as on like 9 different bikes for all of these tires. The bikes with the Yosh and Leo pipes "tire noise" was not so apparent. However... the Africa Twin, CB500X BMW with stock mufflers the noises were much more pronounced. I think you will be happy with the noise level of the AX41 tires.

I couldn’t get my hand on the Ax41 ended up with Karoo 3 for my KTM 390 Adv. So fare after 5000km rear is at roughly 50% which I’m happy with cause most was street riding. The front 😣 Off road it has a mind of its own 🤭 Keeps sweeping left and right and doesn’t really give me much confidence. Not sure if it’s caused by the bike being light or because the 390 adv doesn’t have front end stabiliser/damper.
And that, my dude, is why you are my tire guru! Thank you for all the help getting me set up on my Motoz tires. Can't wait to hear the future news!

Hey Kyle, I ride a 2019 1250 GS as my only means of transportation so it has to be able to commute with comfort as well as support my weekend adventures for camping etc. I ran a set of the trail max missions and loved their mileage and pavement performance but found them to be seriously lacking in any type of mud or wet earth situation. After getting stuck once and having to hike out 7 miles for help and having them slide sideways into a mud hole another time I abandoned that tire. I ride alone 99% of the time so getting stuck is not acceptable. I’m currently on a set of the Moto Z tractionaters and my main complaint with them, truly my only complaint after 7000 miles, is that they howl like a banshee between 35 and 70 mph. I’ve been looking at the Anakee wild as it is reported to have good manners off and on road. Can you comment on road noise of this tire, or any other of the 50/50’s you’ve tested? All your testing and documentation and comments are much appreciated.

Awe, thanks for your kind words. The Motoz GPS is what I’d suggest in the rear and Dual Venture up front. 12k mile set of tires that work really well everywhere. The Anakee Wild is great but I fount it to last less than 4k miles abs for me was noisier than others.
@prepper_nation_h
Жыл бұрын
My experience is that the Anakee Wild lulls you into a false sense of comfort initially because when they are brand new they are *relativity* quiet and smooth, but after you've worn them in 25-50% they get really quite noisy and transmit a lot of vibes through the handlebars. At least that was my experience on my DL650. They are great performers in all other respects, though, but I would avoid buying them again myself just due to noise and vibration.
im on a tractionator GPS, im almost at 11k miles on these tires on a R1259GS, i cannot wait to get the GPS again. I am raping the twisties with these tires! excellent offroad to.

I think your assessment of that trail Max mission is spot on. I think a lot of us out here agree with you. I've even heard other guys with internet videos about tires say it's more of a street bias tire. Some of us need exactly 70/30 and that's important to have that information. I'm on the occasional dirt road, I'm on the occasional two-track fire road. That's it
