Trying the Mitas XT + front and a MotoZ Adv Tractionator Rear for my T7. Will probably try a Mitas rear if I'm impressed by the front and possibly a Rally Star Pro Rally Front/Rear next season.
That’s why I didn’t like the Anakees. A lot of the 50/50s I’ve noticed don’t really hold up well when conditions get rough. Yes knobs can be annoying on the road but I’d much rather have off-road traction. Less crashes, more confidence, less energy spent picking up the bike.
I own them, they are just AMAZING off-road and pretty decent ON-ROAD. Just need to wait to see how much will they last, so far I have 3000 Km and still pleeenty of meat on them
My e09 Dakars (older model with the same rear and different front tire) lasted from Germany to Spain and back. 2.5 weeks of a heavy gas hand on and off the road. Did mostly dirt tracks and trails but quite a lot of highway and paved street as well. 140/80-18 rear lasted ~7000km on my XR 650 R
I ran a set (the standard not the Dakar) on a 450EXC. Much too stiff so the handling is dead, no lateral grip on loose gravel or dirt and heavy, not a tyre for lighter bikes.
@dinnoo89 tracker is an off-road knobie, they won't last long on the street and won't have a lot of grip either. The e09/trail xt+ Wil have a little less grip off-road but will last waaaaay longer, especially if you get the Dakar version. My e09 Daker held up for about 7kkm on my xr650r Rally, with luggage and I like going fast on the road and off-road
So far I’ve been enjoying them. The Dakar versions like a lower tire pressure just as a heads up. I’ve got about 20 psi in my front and 25 psi in the rear. Otherwise they feel unstable, and as always are sketchy on grooved pavement
I believe they are the new version of the E-13 how are they working out on the tarmac ? I currently run the E-09 on the front and the E-07+ on the rear. Not so happy on wet road they are really slippery. Someone told me don’t take the Dakar version and i must agree the non Dakar version is stiff enough
@@Jonathan-ez8tq I really try to keep the road use to an absolute minimum with these tires. They are too comparable to actual knobby tires. I wouldn’t worry too much about street performance, these tires are just meant to get you to the next trail in my opinion.
I go for E09 to the rear and E10 in front. Loaded Africa + me = 300+ kilos. I barely brake in corners, I just let her do her thing. They are amazing. I was sceptic about them before, cuz I used to run TKC80 for years. I had no problem when it rains with my tkc80s, neither with these. She still cornering like its dry. Word.
Im waiting for the non Dakar version. So my friends dont get mad because i cant remove the tire to change the tube in the bush 😂 How hard is the Dakar to mount?
C21 stone eater will kill it for best performance front hard turning of road bite.awsome rear them XTs..,oh you need to flip your rear axle blocks.....
Not the first time I’ve heard that. I purchased a KTM service manual with the bike and have confirmed that the way I have them positioned is how it is depicted in the service manual.
@@FREE-RIDERyeah it will with standard tyres. But to give you more clearance you can flip the blocks if you have enough play in your chain. Only downside is you’re lengthening the wheel base so won’t be as agile. How did you find the Mitas? I had the Dakar version on my T7 and they were shockingly bad.

Brother, God bless you. Best regards from Serbia
Give us an update after you get some miles on them. What did you think about the Wild rear?
The hookup on these tires and front end grip off-road is more true to a dirtbike. Best off-road traction I’ve felt for this bike
Just ordered a set to put on my AT....my nerves can not take the 50/50 grip offered off road by the Raids.

I had Michelin trackers on kove 800x. They didn't last even 1000km. Hope trail xt+ would be better

how about MOTOZ Tractionator Dual Venture
Never ran them, kinda nervous about the brand and some of the things I’ve heard about the Motoz. Felt more confident purchasing the Mitas
How about wobling on this front tyre? What about 100+km h on tarmac on these? Thanks
Those speeds on knobbies like this are not the greatest. If I was doing more road riding I’d run the E-07 which is now called the enduro plus I think
Going to try these now after my motoz rallz, on my T7.

@@FREE-RIDER So you run the dakar ver with that psi ?
@@advswede That is correct, I’ll vary that some based on whether I’m loaded up or not. But that’s what I’m running with bike unloaded
With tubliss or tubes?
@@MattPetersen-kr5qj I’ve got Michelin heavy duty tubes in it
What graphics kit do you have on your bike? Looks sweet.

I've gone with the normal E07 because of the comments about the E07+ being sketch in the wet tarmac. Fingers crossed lol

You can put the blocks either way depends on chain slack
@@xXRedEyedStrangerXx Nah man depends on chain Link count cut.
@@Crust2013 yeah that’s what I mean, if you want it the other way around he would need an extra link
@@xXRedEyedStrangerXx can be a fuzz sometimes when trying put that back wheel exactly where you want it....
Which graphic kit on motorbike?
@@ykolashket1388 SKDA
You need to flip your axle blocks around to move your axle back?

Your not riding that to the bdr
Never planned on riding these tires to any of the BDR routes. Trailering bike
