Extremely impressed that a front tyre with that compromise type pattern is so stable in the soft sand! Especially when you were criss crossing other deep wheel ruts, quite amazing. Bloody good test that is for sure! I am certainly going to consider these in future.

Respect for the sand skills.... and the wheely... 😀

Most excellent video. Enjoyed it very much. Happy to see your rear tire held up on the rim. I ride the same bike and lost the bead on the rear tire at 10 psi while riding deep sand. By the way, your deep sand skills are great. Not easy on the big lady! Marcos from Oregon, USA.

That was excellent! Thank you from the Northern Hemisphere! We're freezing our butts off now.

OMG your at my old 4x4 stomping ground here, not only that I’m in still here living in Boyanup and have a new 1290SA Loved ya vid…you got some balls doing that at Buffalo softest sand I’ve ever been in in winter Great stuff

what a rush riding big adv bikes in dunes cant get enough of it great video

Man, what a beautiful place to ride!! Envy envy envy!! :)

Love it! Just had a 12 Paddle tire made for my 1190 Adv R and we are headed to the Glamis Sand Dunes in California. Yeeeee Haw!

Great bike and riding sand can be tough. Nice work

That all looks so soft ! Nice work mate she’s a big girl to take to the sand

Really nice review mate! Beautiful area to test at 💪🏻

Good video! Keep up the good work mate !

Nice vid mate, enjoyed it. Just bought a set of Motoz Desert Race to put on my CRF Rally. Keen to try them on the beach also. Tough environment hey, but you were going well. Cheers. Subbed :)

Great Video review mate!

Awesome video!

We drill or rims and set short screws in to illuminate the tire moving on the rim. But it’s for tubed tires. Not tubeless.

Man that looks like a workout!

Good skills!

Nice work on that sand!

That's what I call a serious sand riding video, amazing how the front looks like it is doing so well, wonder if my 21"would do as good with these tires.

With a stiff side wall is it still necessary to air down ?

Be fore you mount your tyre take a rag with a li'l kerosene scrub the beads till they get sticky. Kerosene Is also an excellent slippy for mounting as it disappears quick. Really quick in the heat. Of corse make sure the seat area on the rim is clean/deglased light sand paper steel wool tyre shouldn't slip on the rim after that

Look like an awesome time! Are you in WA by any chance.

If you’re still looking for a way to lock your tyre to the rim you could look into the Tubliss system. It acts as a 360 degree rim lock and you could run lower than 10psi. Only drawback is that it isn’t supposed to be used on road bikes, and I’m not sure if your rim would perhaps be too wide for it?

If I’m travelling light, I use CO2 canisters. 3 is enough for 1 inflation of the rear so I carry 6 with plugs of course. I also have a small 12v compressor I take for long haul trips. I’ve shaved it down to save weight and I’m not sure of the brand. A mate gave it to me years back. It’s not light, weighing in at around 1.5kgs.

Would love to know what your suspension settings was as this also makes a huge difference

Adjust it slightly stiffer compression and slower rebound. Ride fast and stay loose. Start in 2nd gear.

How long did these tires end up lasting? I'm thinking about getting either these or the Tractionator GPS tires on my Tiger and I've heard they can make it 20,000km, which is insane if it's true.

It’s necessary to reduce pressure for soft sand, the lower the better. But as you saw from the video without rim locks the tyre will drift around the rim. There is an old saying from dirt riders that goes, Soft on Soft and Hard on Hard. Just means soft suspension settings and soft tyres on soft surface, mud / sand And vice versa for rocky terrain.

What’s the best way to learn to ride in the sand?

@mostlymotorcycles.

Like anything practice. But a few things make it more easy. Low tyre pressure, letting the bike wander don't fight it to much. Lots of power. Stay off the breaks until the last second. Keep your weight off the front wheel, until you have to turn. Sounds a lot doesn't it. But with time it come naturally.

Try blue lock tight on your tyer fitting to stop it slipping on the rim put a small amount on the beed before inflating see if that helps
