M8, after your recommendation I just ran the IRC Ve33 and Tubliss on the rear. And a big thanks, what a tyre, the grip was amazing which inspired so much confidence and the Guys commented on the improved confidence in my riding. Cheers Silver Top Dougie.
I've run the VE35 front and the Gekkotta version (VE33s) at the rear and it worked quite well. Superb traction through streams, rocks, roots mud, etc. I'm only replacing that with the VE33 because I occasionally have to ride on pavement and the VE33s begins to crack at the base of the Knobbies because of that amount of traction. Overall the VE33s is a great tire. I am now trying the VE33 non Gekotta and expect it will be a great tire as well.
@@BrokenSprocket it is very good on the front. It tracks well though it will drift a bit in mud. Over roots and rocks no problem. But what front doesn't drift in mud? 😉
@@stoveljacob I would not get this if you are riding on pavement alot. I use it to sometimes go on pavement to trail hope. You'd chew through it quick if you did miles on it.
@@easternyellowjacket276 I think that is true with any true knobby though, even some of the DOT knobbys. I ride anywhere from half a mile to a mile on the road to go for a ride locally. I sometimes ride to work or into town for stuff but I generally try to avoid it until the tire has worn down a bit more. But how would you say the wear is on the pavement compared to like a motocross tire? Or total lifespan I guess because it does have taller knobs to begin with.
@@BrokenSprocket already purchased. I'll let you know how they do. All my land is a rock farm mud and roots. Zero flat land. I'll give a good honest review. Cheers
Can honestly say have never seen anyone riding with those tyres,so it’s good to see your review 👌. next front tyre i’m gunna try is the shinko fatty see how they go
shinko fatty is a copy of the goldentyre , if you have any rock or hard terrain ,the side knobs on the shinko will crack & chunk , the goldentyre wont . i also tried gibson tech enduro fatty , no chunking & cracking either . the shinko is much cheaper ,but their regular compound does not like hard stuff
Agree, VE33 best tire for the gnarly stuff. I pair it with the Maxxis desert IT up front. Great traction, doesn’t chunk knobs and lasts twice as long as ve33 rear.
$119.95 on MxStore for a Michelin Starcross 5 Hard in the 90/100 profile works a treat for my on my KTM 1090 Adventure R, I will be putting on my WR 450 F when it's front tyre wears out. The 90/100 profile offers great rim protection in case of flats with it's stiff side wall. I have had a flat on my 1090 doing 100km/h, but no rim damage or erratic front wheel movements. Thanks for the tip about the IRC tyre, I might try find one of those myself for my WR 450 F as well 👍🏽
I think I'm on my fourth VE33S Gekkota Great tire! Have not tried the original VE 33 yet might be a good comparison. Seems to have a lot of the same characteristics amazing traction even when completely worn out and missing knobbies better than most new tires I've tried.
@@BrokenSprocket sweet thanks for the reply, i'm about to swap out my tyre and tube for the irc ve33 and the tubeless system, after my last ride it just seems the way to go!
Is this listed as the VE-33R 110/100-18 on the mx store? I can’t see a 33S listed so I’m assuming it’s the one. Love the vids mate keep up the great work Cheers
Have you had any issues with flats on this tire? Looking at this vs the VE33S, but honestly I think the normal VE33 suits my needs better given it seems to be longer wearing. But i've heard people complain of a soft carcass that gets tears and punctures easily.
I haven't tried the VE33 but have used the VE33s for my last 3 rear tires and it's great. It's not a true gummy but is softer than the VE33. You should try it sometime and see what you think. I use a GoldenTyre GT216AA 90/90 front and really like it but some people do complain of ripping off side knobs depending on the terrain.

Stoked it’s working for you!! Thanks for choosing IRC!!
Been running this tire for years. Love them
I've been running the vulcanduro tires since the 1990's. I love them.
Yeah best tyre I have used too
Ve33 user for 5 yrs now...now on my 10th tire.!!!

Thanks for sharing! Your Tire is the stock tire on my small KLX 140 RF and in front it is the VE 35 F - a good combo in my opinion!

I'm happy with the performance of the VE33 hopefully the VE35 will be just as good on the front.

Does it hold up well on pavement in turns and traffic? thinking about getting one for frequent pavement riding

michelin enduro medium is a great front tire. I run it on front and the VE-33 for the rear.
Appreciate it mate!! Still using the 33s? What front did you find?

Mental, guts, techniques and skills are all in you ... great tips bro...

I've had to put plugs in using tubliss system but no more than other tyres in same conditions.

Yeah I have had no luck with a good front tyre always lose side knobs
@@BrokenSprocket Michelin starcros 5 . Great tyres.
Can't seem to get the S on Australia. Where are you?
@@thisisme7587 I'm in California in the US. Although we can get those tires here sometimes it can be hard to find someone that has them in stock.
@@advsquared not available here at all which frustrates the hell outta me. Big fan of gummy tyres myself.
Hi Steve what size is your rear tyre?
Star cross 5 soft 90/100 front is a great tyre
Rear tyre is 5.10 18
I run one on my 450r. It's the only tire that I can put the power down to the ground
Flip it Steve and get another 500k's out of it, Same as Richard below I'm happy with the Starcross 5 soft in 90/100 x21
Thanks mate I will check it out
@@BrokenSprocket yea I would definitely recommend the Starcross 5 for the front as well I got one on my rm 125 and loving it atm
Damn mate.. talking about price hiking, they're over $150 now only 2 years after
Steve, who did you get the IRC from?
MXstore
@@BrokenSprocket Great store.👍
👌👌👌
Nice review bro...
Thanks mate
Giving these a crack 🤙
No not the seat cover lol
