That's for showing us the performance in heavy rain. I have to admit, I chuckled watching you put a cover in the bike after you soaked every inch of it. 🤣 - Frank
Thanks for watching Frank. The utter downpour all day rolled right off the cover. Better for the electronics over time.
How would you compare these tyre to the rallz/ front venture, on and off road? Like alot of riders i want a tyre that's decent enough on road, but when i d hit a trail, i want that same tyre to be really great! Personally, id be happy with 4000miles of rubber!
That's about the mileage I have gotten from the XT+ on my 1190. They are amazing in the dirt. I wish the rear has a side bite lug... that's where the RallZ rear excels. Now... that same situation but reversed is why the XT+ is better than the Dual Venture, the side bite lug on the XT+ gives it the edge. I think RallZ rear and XT+ front is going to be the new favorite.
Imho driving on straight roads gives almost no feedback from the tyres. You gotta be careful riding that close behind cars in such rainy weather, if they brake hard you're going to merge with them... Stay safe brother so you can keep riding !
Thank you Sir for your feedback!
Big respect for your hard riding in that heavy downpour, you really test the tires man! Thank you for great videos everytime. 👍👍
Thanks for your support. They worked really well!
Tire pressure? (front and rear) Wet performance seems to be better than Motoz's, am I correct?
I've just fitted a set of XT+ Dakars to my R1250GSA and still getting used to them... Everybody says the XT+ front excels but i find it a bit radical... Coming from DV+Rallz combo I thought it would not cause me such impression, especially on pavement. Maybe because it is the Dakar version?? And yes, I agree, the rear Rallz is better.
do you recommend these tires over motoz rallz?
They are very compareable. I like the XT+ front and the RallZ rear.
Thanks for coming up with another superb video. Best regards and keep on the fantastic work. Ray
Many thanks! It was a good time doing the work...
Thanks for sharing
@@AndreyDermansky well, 3500 and I've officially worn these tires out!
You’ve had some crazy wet rides this winter. Looking forward to your full opinion of these Mitas tires. I just busted out my Rabaconda today and mounted a new rear RallZ on my 890. Without hurrying, the old tire was off five minutes after I turned the axle nut, and the new tire was mounted six minutes later. Such a great system!
Now that is a success story!
Thanks for the videos, & interacting with all our questions! 👍
Any time!
Agreed. Real nice.
I have KTM 890 on Motoz Rallz tires. Chose tires because of your videos. I ride everyday, everywhere, rain or shine. My problem is keeping rain water out from inside my Arai XD4 helmet. Once the inside of my shield gets wet it fogs up so bad I can't see through it. I don't mind the rain other than that. At night I can't see at all. I don't own a car so my two bikes (zx-14r) are my only option. What Helmet setup do you use for rain? Should I use a tall er windshield on my KTM. Love your videos. I always take your advice.
Thanks for your support. I used to have a ZX10r and it was amazing!!! I like my KLIM KRIOS PRO for all weather. It vents well, water is ok... I don't like the look of the tall screen, but it works well.
How was the braking performance? Very impressive tire to do so well in the mud and the rain. Is it a very soft compound? How do you anticipate the mileage to be for commuting? I would love a tire that aggressive for my weekend off road messing around but I need it to do very well in the rain for my daily commute here in Oregon. If it can do that AND last a reasonable amount of time for the money then I’m sold! Thanks as always for the awesome wet and cold tire reviews! Also thanks for turning me onto WildAss. I love my seat cushion!
WildAss makes such a difference! You are welcome... These tires have the same durometer reading as the Motoz. I think the compound is vey similar. A couple mm less tread depth, but we shall see! I should be similar to the Motoz Rallz
Hey Kyle, how do you think this stacks up to the MOTOZ TRACTIONATOR RALLZ?
The RallZ rear has a deeper tread block and more capturing lugs. I like the RallZ rear a little better but that XT+ front is amazing.
Thank you for the review. I have been waiting for these tires to become available since you showed them on your channel late last year. I have been running the e10 front and e09 rear Dakar since I got my 1190 adventure r in 2014. I love them. I can't wait to get these. I brought a set of motz rallyz and have yet to mount them. Your review of them was the reason for the purchase. If you like them, I know i will love them. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for your support. I think you will like the XT+ front better than the Motoz front. The rear tires, we shall see! I have yet to have them in the dirt, but I am looking forward to it.
Hey Kyle, I know these are "Trail XT" tires but the title says "Trial XT".
...and yes, I am fun at parties 🤣🤣
Oh shoot!!!! Let me fix that! Surprised the Mitas guys did not say something last week when I met with them...
Sometimes I don't miss my CA freeway rides in the rain. Good job. The big KTM can sure spin about any tire up in conditions like that. Those plastic stripes will get you. Tires seem to have done great. Good wet testing event for certain.
Yeah right! Thanks for watching. I am impressed with the wet weather performance.
Thanks for the wet weather review. In more than fifty years of riding, I have often ridden in the rain when commuting to work. The painted lines are almost always slippery. It doesn't matter what tire you ride on. These off road oriented tires performed impressively on wet pavement. I will consider these tires for my Africa Twin AS when my Hidenaus need replacement. Now retired, I choose not to ride in the rain. Mostly because it's a PITA to clean the bike afterwards.
Yes Sir! I'm 24/7 on the bike unless I rent a truck for work. Liquid sunshine ;) the Karoo 4 is the best wet paint tire I've experienced. It's exceptionally good.
Oh man. As a West Coast British Columbian, I love it when Californians try to drive and ride in the rain, it's honesetly so interesting. The carnage, the piss poor water managment on 6 lane highways, the drivers, the CHP everywhere, it's wild. Kudos for getting it done, those riding conditions ain't fun! The E-09 Dakar was great on wet compared to my dunlops right now. They rode up steepish rocky slab single track in the wet surprisingly well. Looking forward to trying the new Enduro trail xt+ newley branded E-13/E-09 tires to test out the difference between the new and old. Do have to say I think their labeling/ naming of the new stuff took a step back slightly towards the confusing side, but maybe that's just because I was familar with the Mitas model names and they made sense to me. Maybe the better call in the long run, but we'll see. Need to get these re-tested this year👍🏻 Great vid
Yes, the tread pattern is the same as the E13 and E09 but the carcass and compound is different. I am looking forward to getting them into the dirt, sand and everywhere off road I can!
@@manybikes Really good to hear! Didn't know what exactly changed. Can't wait to try them out again, and seeing how to make out with them offroad. Cheers.
Hope you make a video with more gravel, mud and sand. But good to know that it doesn`t woble on higher speeds and has good traction on the road.👍
That dirty video will be forthcoming! Stay Tuned.
Where they the hard Dakar or the softer compound? Thanks for the info.
The Dakar is measuring 73 to 74 on the Durometer and the standard is measuring 68 or so. Softer for sure. I was running Dakar on the rear standard up front.
whats the best tire you belive for adventure, Hwy and getting to your offroad?
Motoz Rallz rear and Mitas Enduro Trail XT+ This will be the longest lasting / best performing combo.
Great video. Thanks Kyle. Looked like the ultimate wet weather test to me. Great job. 👍🇦🇺
So MUCH Liquid SUNSHINE!!!
Wow, now that’s a rain test 😂
A little bit wet ;)
How many miles did you get with these tires? My dealership has a ton of them, I'm thinking about these after my rallzs are cooked.
The container hasn't arrived as of yet from what I've been told... I have 2500 miles on the now. Front looks new. Rear 1/3 worn
@@manybikes they are up for sale now on revzilla. i dont know about a few days ago though.
Great review thanks! Looking great for off-road. Next obvious question how do the do on dry pavement leaned over 😊. Will they be able to compare to the mighty Motoz Rallz?
Great questins... we shall see!!!
We’re these regular or yellow strip Dakar? Looks like yellow on the rear and regular up front?
@@TedDerickson that's correct! Regular front and Dakar rear.
That front looks quite reminiscent of the RallZ
Well about that... rumor has it that there may be some truth in that. Like rubber compound and carcass construction ;)
Just bought the standard version for my Husky 701. Didn't have time to fit them yet. Still wearing out my factory Conti tkc80. Any reviews/feedback from customers running on light singles like 701/690? Btw. thank you for sharing your thoughts and tire reviews. It helped me alot with my previous bike T7 where I put Motoz Tractionator Adventure. The rear was awesome, didn't fancy the front. Maybe i expect too much.
Awesome! I am liking the XT+ thus far. Need to do an update video... I am 2500 miles into them now. There is no feedback as of yet as nobody has run them. I have had the only set in the USA for the last month... but the containers are now arriving! What sizes did you pick up?
I understand that, it also wasn't easy to find them here in Europe. I've got 90/90 21 front and 140/80 18 rear same like stock tires. Can't wait to try them. Hope to see your 2500 miles review!
Working on it! It'll be a 3k Review by the end of the week ;)
Great !
Hey thanks for another great review. Looks like you had fun in the rain! You mentioned the 2track video you did when you broke the camera. Have you posted a full ride test video? I can't find it...
Coming soon! Need a couple days to stitch together my footage... and thoughts.
@@manybikes awesome, I'll be waiting 👍🏻
@manybikes looking forward to the 2track review. Especially the road noise. I've got motoz adventure on the front and it howls so loud it hurts my ears even with ear plugs in. I know knobbies make more noise, but the screaming rabbit front tire is unbearable.
How is that Wild Ass cushion? Does it work for long trips? Thank you!
I've ridden 1200 miles in a single day without hot spots or soreness. It a game changer.
@@manybikes Thank you!
Appreciate the commitment to do a test ride in such conditions 💪😂
Did you get the green or yellow compound?
Anyways, I ordered yellow before finding your clip.
🤚🇵🇱🍻
Ha! Ha! Thanks!! Yellow on the rear. Green on the front.
@@manybikes clever 👍
I want mileage out of the rear and best grip possible up front.
Making them work.
@@manybikes yup..i got your idea, soft, flexible grippy front, less prone to wear and puncture; and somewhat more harder, still grippy due to tread, puncture resistant back,.. hence clever 🍻😎
Any notes to compare this to the Enduro Trails/E07? I am on a 850 so no 18 rears. Else I would look at that rock rider or Tusk tires. I liked the E07+ when I had them on the Super Ten.
Thank you for your inquiry. I do have an E07+ review, but I have not ridden the E07 standard. I will get on that though.
@@manybikes Well awesome Brad. It's that usual search for that unicorn that can rip the Tail up, deep mud, drag peg and last forever. I still find it strange that the knobbier more aggressive looking tire is rated more for road.
@@EvLSpectre which one are you saying is knobbier and more aggressive?
@@manybikes I think it was the trail+ that had the bigger and blockier looking tire. Only issue I would really have with it is the back end feels like it kicks out when you roll on aggressively. I think you or some other reviewer had said that too
@@EvLSpectre yes, that was my experience with the E07+ Dakar
Nice job....keep them coming!!!
Thank you Sir! Any seat time on the new "little bike?"
@@manybikes not yet...You'll know my friend 🤣🤣🤣
Those rated M+S?
M+S 70T
Where can I get them
Right now they are on Pre-order. They should be here in 4 to 6 weeks! www.manybikes.biz
@@manybikes perfect. I’ll be getting in on that. Been waiting for these since I saw your video about them last year.
Just talked with the President of Mitas this week... the container should arrive on the 13th. Will take 10 days or so go get to the warehouse. Should be able to ship soon!!!
rear tire looks as E09
It's a E09 tread pattern with updated tread depth, carcass construction and tread compound.
And the front should be based on the E13 if I'm not mistaken
@@manybikes Is the tread depth more or less than the 09? I have been running the E09D for years, about to order another. I have both the 09 and xt+ available to me, but unsure which to go with. Suppliers are saying it's simply a rebrand, but I can see some differences in the pictures. Sure wish I could see them side by side first hand
@@j.b.1593 it's NOT a re-brand. There are more "Motoz RallZ" features in this tire than ever before in the Mitas line-up
@@manybikes Thanks for the reply. Would you recommend the new xt+ Dakar over the old E09 Dakar ? Both are available to me right now at the same price. I've been running the 09 for years. As with many things that get 'updated', it's often for the worse. You mention tread depth change. Everything I can find says they are both 13mm. Can you confirm? I cannot find a side by side comparison anywhere and am worried I'll prefer the old one. I appreciate your response!
