    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!

    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.

    • @manybikes
      @manybikes  3 года назад +2

      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!

    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!

    • @manybikes

      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 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.

    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!

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.

    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 RUclips 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 RUclips 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 RUclipsrs 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!

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.

    • @manybikes

      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!

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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    • @manybikes
      @manybikes  2 года назад

      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. ;)

    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

    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? 👍🏻

    • @manybikes
      @manybikes  2 года назад +1

      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 😆

    • @manybikes
      @manybikes  2 года назад +2

      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.

      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.
