Thanks again for doing this! I had some questions and you helped me make my mind up. Well done to the ever learning camera crew.

[@manybikes]

What were the specific questions you had answered?

[@rocinantenomad4698]

@@manybikes Mainly as tyres relate between one another. Especially the Dunlops, Mission and Raid (the mutants have dropped off my list a while back)... I am not a hardcore off-roader, but when touring I do find myself on some rough surfaces sometimes. I found the tyres that came original from the factory, on my CB500X 2019, perfectly exceptable for my style of riding. I only felt the rear give one time, on the road, in the two years I have ridden them, and that was a surface contamination issue in a turn. But they do suffer on gravel, graded surfaces etc. I have about a half an inch of chicken strip on the sides, I am not aggressive. Their thread is wearing out in some spots but I believe the Missions will be a huge upgrade. Longevity was also a big factor since sometimes I cover long distances at a time, across Italy on the Highway in order to get to Europe, from the south of Sicily and past the Alps.

You're always the best source for ADV tire reviews! I had a chance to chat with you at Get on ADV fest Black hills 2022 about the K60 Rangers you were testing at the time. I bought a set of Motoz Adventure/Dual venture tires based on your reviews. They performed great in the dirt and cornered surprisingly well on the street. My only issue, was that on my 1250 GSA, they had a terrible weave at highway speeds. The weave was less noticeable after a few thousand miles. I just ran a set of MItas E07+ (Dakar on the rear) tires 7000 miles from Utah to Alaska and back. On my GSA they are hands down the best handling ADV tires on the street that I've tired. The rear was completely gone after 7000 miles but the front has a lot of life left in it. I feel like the Motoz Adventure will last as long as the E07+ on the rear without giving up anything on the street, but work better off-road. I think my new go-to setup will be a Motoz Adventure rear and an E07+ front tire. Anyway, thanks for all of the good work.

[@manybikes]

Awesome! Yes, it was great chatting with you in SD. I am a fan of mixing tire brands. The Mitas front and Motoz rear sounds like a wining combo. Thanks for your support. I sell both brands now... so when you are ready, please reach out.

Hi Kyle Im running a Motoz dual venture front adventure rear on both my Dr650 and Tiger 900 RP. The DR is fine no issues great tyres. On my Tiger however, I get front end bounce @ 50-70 km/h with the DV, which im told can happen on heaier bikes. Have you come across this? Ive tried tuning it out with pressures and suspension tuning with no effect.

[@manybikes]

Hey there! Thanks for reaching out. Most often, bounce is caused by a balance issue. I’d remove the wheel and check balance. If it’s off by a lot, I’d de-bead the tire and spin it 1/4 … then check balance again. Do this until it’s close and finish with wheel weights. Most cases, thus eliminates the bounce. Please follow up with your results. The tires should run smooth as glass… with no Hop whatsoever

[@adrianedwards3091]

@@manybikes Hey mate Thanks for the reply. I forgot to mention that. I had them fitted & balanced at the stealer. Then I took it to a tyre specialist and he rebalanced it with wheel weight on spokes. But no luck. I havent tried reseating the tyre on rim and retry at a 1/4 tyre turn. So Ill give that a go. Cheers

[@Manta84adam]

Kyle, looking forward to your Raid tires review. As Raids are the softest of these should be the sportiest - best/stickiest for the twisties - correct assumption? For me it will be AX41 or this new Trailmax Raid when I want some more street oriented setup to ride hard without sacrificing off road performance too much. I am usually on Motoz Rallz rear and Pirelli MT21 Rallycross front (I dont like Motoz front tire on tarmac) very good combination but not as good to put knee down which is possible with AX41 - but with AX41 it is not confident inspiring so Trailmax Raid might be knobby "sporttires" hopefully . Thank you for video.

[@DocMagoo]

Love the content Kyle, thank you for the vid. Looking forward to replacing the OEM tyres on my 1250GS with the Trailmax mission due largely to the work you do testing and reviewing everything. Nice work by the videographer too 👍

[@AlessandroPrescendi]

Thanks Kyle for another awesome review. Having a look at the Dunlop Raid, looks like it will have more difficulties in Mud and gettibg out of ruts, due to the smaller voids in the middle and the edge of the tyres is very low profile and rounded...very good for road cornering, but crap for off road when you need that side bite to get you out of the rut.

[@manybikes]

We will see!

[@coastwatch203]

Dunlop website says the Trailmax Mission is a 60/40. Street / offroad & trail harder surfaces (not for deeper mud & deeper sand). Excellent camera person.

[@manybikes]

Yes Sir! Now they are saying this. For years it was a 50/50 tire in all of the literature.

[@surlyfan]

@kyle - I think I remember you saying on a video that the Motoz Tractionator Adventure front had been redesigned for better stability (something was flipped around in the design?). Anyway - coming due for new tires on my R1250GS and liking the Motoz. Thanks for all the info you have out there!

[@rallye81]

It is my understanding that both the Motoz Adventure front and Motoz RallZ front were discontinued and the Motoz Dual Venture front was the replacement for those tires. Having a symmetric, non-directional allows flipping the tire around for longer wear.

[@manybikes]

Thanks for watching! The Adventure front has been discontinued and replaced by the Dual Venture. The RallZ fronts are still out there... they are great on dirt but not so great on-road.

[@Kevimoto]

​@manybikes that's odd. Here we are, a year later, and the Motoz Tractionator Adventure front (90/90 21) is still readily available. I just changed mine in Sept 2024. Either that info is incorrect, or there's lots of old stock lying around in warehouses.

@@manybikes 👍😎sounds great

[@OneOldManRiding]

With two long distance trips planned I installed a Dunlop Trailmax Mission in the front of my 790 AdventureR. That heavy tire really helped the front of the bike stabilize. I see folks adding aftermarket steering stabilizers for a reason, however, with the TMM the front is very stable at high speed. - Frank

[@manybikes]

Very interesting results!

[@AlessandroPrescendi]

Don't think it is stable because of being heavy. Most likely because it is a more road oriented tyre and behaves better at high speeds. People which have stability issues on the KTM probably are using the stock Karoo 3 or more knobbie tyres which tend to be more unstable at high speeds.

[@manybikes]

@@AlessandroPrescendi I do think a lot of the instability is tire related. Tires play a large role. Thanks for watching!

[@AlessandroPrescendi]

@@manybikes totally agree¡ Also tyre pressure and good balancing of the wheel is important. When I was running the Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR, having the front tyre at 2.5bar made it kind of unstable at high speeds +160km/h, just dropping 0.2bars the front to have it at 2.3bars made the trick, stability recovered for high speeds. Specially radial tyres, are very sensitive to tyre pressure. Same with the suspension setup, increasing a bit the preload can bring some weight o the front end, and increase stability.

[@manybikes]

@@AlessandroPrescendi yes, tire pressure is important as is the way the bike is loaded. None of them handle really well crazy laiden down!

[@jacquesdiener6403]

Hi Do we need to heat cycle ADV tyres. Especially the Dunlop Trailmax missions.

[@manybikes]

Well, that is a great question. Are you meaning get them warm before throwing them into a corner? If so, then yes. If you mean warm them up and let them cool down multiple times before they are "ready".... that I have not been schooled on from any of the manufacturers.

[@jacquesdiener6403]

Thank you very much. 👌

[@manybikes]

My pleasure! But I'm still curious... So which meaning were you looking for?

[@jacquesdiener6403]

It is the heat cycle when you first put them on. There are several instances where the tread came loose from the casing here in RSA, and a lot of speculation on pressure, speed and the so-called heat cycle. I just replaced my rear after almost 19000km's (mostly tarmac) and put on another one. Cold weather grip is reasonable, so too gravel. Happy with the balance, but would like more grip. But as you say more grip > less mileage

[@manybikes]

The compromises each tire gives us! Heat cycles like you mention are not necessary to "break in" a tire. Scrubbing them in IS important, but heat cycling not so much. Low pressure will KILL a tire though, that is for sure!

[@mikef3300]

I’m running the Missions on my Ktm 690 and they’ve been fantastic. I rarely get off-road anymore so it’s more of a city bike for me. The missions fit my riding better than the knobby tires these days and the extra mileage I’ll get out of them is welcomed

[@manybikes]

That's fantastic to hear. Thanks for sharing.

[@onemileattatime2642]

I have MOTOZ RALLZ & MOTOZ Dual Venture on my ktm 890. Used them to do the COBDR a few weeks ago. Boy! They were stellar out there! Never felt a lack of bite in the loose rock, babyheads, sand, or wet rock; they just worked & tractored - Even though the rubber is "softer" than the MOTOZ Adventure that you showcase in the video, they did not chunk or get chewed up on the BDR! 👍 However, the RALLZ is the loudest humming tire on tarmac!!! I mean LOUD!!👎👎 Because i do not trailer a lot, rather i ride to destinations offroad, it is unlikely that i would repurchase the RALLZ due to the noise!

[@manybikes]

This is very interesting! My RallZ are quiet on the highway... Unless they are at low pressures. The Desert HT is like 10x louder!!! Wow! Careful with the lack of traction when you jump back to the Adventure. I did not notice it much going from ADV to RallZ... but from the RallZ to the Adv... that 15% loss in traction was noticeable.

[@onemileattatime2642]

[@hillkiran]

I have the AX41 front, and a rapidly depleting TKC 80 rear. I am wondering what to rear to put on next. I am thinking a Motoz RallZ or the Motoz Tractionator Adventure. I really REALLY liked the AX41 rear on loose rocks, but when I hit a nail in El Paso, the AX41 rear just came apart. (idk if any tire would have been better, but I feel a Motoz tire would have held up better)

[@manybikes]

The AX41 is a favorite of mine, but it’s lightweight. The Rallz is my go-to for longevity and performance. I can provide those to you when ready. www.manybikes.biz

[@Furadi]

Hey hey can you say which is heavier between the AX41 and the Raids?

[@manybikes]

The AX41 is a tad heavier. I'll have to pull my numbers

[@kuladeeluxe]

How is the Mission heavy, hard and still handle so well?

[@manybikes]

There are tradeoffs with any tire... The Mission is not the best in cold / wet. It is slow to spin up on low HP vehicles but overall, it is an amazing tire that has become the Go-To for many.

[@exparrot9074]

Have run all of these except the Trailmax Raid yet (thanks to Kyle's feedback). The Trailmax Missions were surprisingly good off road, in dry conditions, far better than they had any right to be, were great on pavement, and real high wearing. In muddy conditions, they were awful - downright dangerous, front end grip was like a light switch, went down hard a couple times with little to no warning. The AX41s were a great off road tire... for up 1,000 miles on the rear, however pavement performance was awesome, great feedback and high grip, overall life was 2k miles on the back and 4k on the front. Have got 700 miles on the Motoz ADV/Dual Venture Front. Great front end grip, progressive in a slide, doesn't quite put down power as well as I had hoped in hard packed gravel, but best grip in mud out of the three. On road, they are okay, finding them less confidence inspiring on twisty pavement then the other two tires. Looking forward to trying out the Trailmax Raid next

Hi Kyle! I have a crf1100. I have tubes and I'm struggling to find tyres that are designed to take tubes! I understand in a tubeless you can put a tube, but the inside of the tyre rubbing on the tube creates heat, and therefore more prone to a puncture! As they aren't made for tubes, they will also lose psi, maybe 2psi a week! I wonder if you can do a tyre review, tube specific!

[@manybikes]

Thanks for the comment / request. 10 years ago I would have agreed with you. But today most of the modern Adv tires are tube type tires that havre modernized tubeless type beads air tight carcasses made for tubes or no tubes. The Motoz, Anakee, Karoo, and Mitas tires are specially made for both applications. Robust enough for a 600 lb. machine able to accommodate both tube type and tubeless rims. Now… OLDER tubeless tires… I wouldn’t use a tube in… I’ll do some more discussion with the manufacturers individually and see what each of their thoughts are respectively. Stay tuned!!!

I wonder if some bad reviews are due to using tubes in a TL specific tyre, with manufacturers saying oh yeh u can put a tube in! You can, but no info as to a speed rating, or psi drop for off road and rim pinch! I googled what is the difference....TT have a special process for the inner carcass to eliminate heat/wear on the inner tube. The tube is seen as part of the tyre.

[@ConcoursOne]

Kyle In your opinion will the TMR ride a little softer as compared to TMM On little road joints, road roughness that is suttle, not big holes. I find the TMM wears on a not young back as mileage accumulates in a day because of the very stiff carcass. Longevity is Very good though.

100%! It’s way lighter and has way softer sidewalls which makes for a super smooth ride. I like it!

I find the TMM rear tire to be the worst wet weather tire I’ve ever ridden on. No grip at all. I also don’t like the profile of the tire for on road riding. Dirt it’s fine. Will not buy them again though. I do too many road miles and it’s not a confidence inspiring tire, especially in the rain. My GSA traction control works overtime in the rain with those tires.

Well, I'm about ready to drain my bank account and have a garage filled with ADV bike tires, thanks to Kyle's entertaining and informative tire videos. I was just wondering if you think the motoz tractionator Adventure along with the duelventure front is the most or close to the most puncture resistant ADV tire combinations.

[@manybikes]

Yes Sir! There are some with stiffer sidewalls, but not as aggressive tread and others with more aggressive tread but soft sidewalls. The Adv / DV combo is great!

[@AlexanderDangel]

No mention of the new Heidenau K60 Ranger...? Seems like it would be a 50/50 contender...

[@manybikes]

The new Heidenau K 60 ranger is definitely a contender… I just do not have one in front of me in the garage that night to speak about

[@AlexanderDangel]

@@manybikes I know you spent some time with the K60 Ranger Kyle. I would love to hear how it compares. So far I've torn through The Trailmax missions, Motoz adventure/Rallz, Bridgestone AX41, Michelin Anakee Wild, TKC80, Metzeler Tourance, and others on the big adventure bikes (KTM 1190 ADV, Tiger 900, and now Scrambler 1200XE.) My faves so far were the AX41 (though short-lived), Trailmax Mission (until it got into mud). The other tires were super squirrely on the road and not confidence inspiring at all until they got into dirt. Just wondering if the K60 Ranger has decent road manners like the Trailmax missions and AX41? Thanks for all you do Kyle and your helper is awesome!

[@manybikes]

@@AlexanderDangel thanks for the details, it helps me with your answer. The Rangers were excellent on the highway. The front liked to step out in loose dirt or gravel … not fun. The rear off road was good. They did wear a little funny and would get squirmy in corners due to the wear. Heidenau K60 Ranger Tire Review | 5k+ Miles in 3 Months kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2XJh3ychtaqmLc while it was “not too expensive” and it “worked well” it wouldn’t be my first choice. (Or 2nd or 3rd). Hope this helps!

[@Nathaniel7420]

Of the Raid and the Mission, which is quieter on the pavement?

[@manybikes]

Mission is quieter by far.

[@Nathaniel7420]

Thank you 👍

[@iz723]

I wonder if you could design your own perfect tyre, what would it look like?

[@manybikes]

It would be a combination of several for sure!

[@Max-ye9xg]

When I first saw Mota's I knew nothing about them other than I saw that they utilize four Plies on the sidewall

[@manybikes]

Love me some Motoz!

[@elvispusley3515]

The kid is the Man

[@manybikes]

Totally agree, he’s pretty rad!

[@HeimVegenAdvbike]

Comparing potential longevity on the Raid and the AX41 - could the wider gap between blocks mean less surface rubber to carry the friction/weight and hence quicker wear?🤔 It`ll be interesting to see how the Raid performs and lasts 😊(....if only Motoz tyres were easier to get hold off over here...)

[@manybikes]

Love me some Motoz! The AX41 and the Raid are very similar in tread pattern but very different in construction and I was blown away by the tread compound durometer differences. HUGE... We shall see!

[@brianlekei8920]

Hey Kyle nice work. Are Conti TKC 70s and 80s falling off the map or is it just that others are developing and releasing more new models than Conti? Do they still compare in performance?

[@manybikes]

The TKC70 is an 80/20 tire and does not really compare in this 50/50= category. A favorite set-up of mine is the TKC70 Rocks rear and the Dunlop TrailMax Mission front. Good times! Looking forward to the new releases from Conti in the future. But no... the TKC80 does not compare to these monsters in my opinion. Just not enough technology.

[@brianlekei8920]

@@manybikes I need new tires for my GS 1250. I’m probably an 80/20 rider. Does the profile of the 2 different manufacturers match up that well? I was leaning toward the TKC 70 Rocks and TKC 70 front as well. TMM are pretty performer and good value to though. Your son is getting the hang of video pretty well. 😊

[@manybikes]

@@brianlekei8920 Ha! Ha! Yeah, he loved it! I totally like the Mission Front and Rocks rear. I’m really not a fan of the TKC70 front tire.

[@shutupandance]

Thanks for this. You don’t seem to be a big Pirelli fan, am I right? Very much looking forward to the Raid testing, especially curious about its wet asphalt (well advertised) capabilities.

[@grumblez]

Great in wet asphalt, better than the TKc70s ime

[@manybikes]

I actually love Pirelli but they really don’t have a tire in this specific segmented. Rally STR is much more street oriented and the real Rally is a full knobby not made in this size anymore. I do love the brand though and would love for them to produce a tire in the 60 Dirt 40 street category.

[@shutupandance]

I see. I actually thought the (non-STR) Rally would qualify as a 50/50 or 60/40 and had it in my top 3 choices to replace the STR that come with the T7. I do mostly road (and find the STR amazing for the job) but need something better for the occasional dirt, while compromising wet road as little as possible (no hill climbing scares me as much as wet asphalt). I’m also very much interested in the new Trailmax Raid (and the good old (non-Dakar) Mitas 07+). Anyway, they seem to provide the Rally in 90/90 21 and 150/70 18. Am I wrong? Many many thanks for any advise or insight / Dave

@Rabaconda for the Win

[@manybikes]

Thanks for your support... You have been entered.

[@tsachiel]

Thank you for the review … Currently with the Anakee wild on my 790 R , love them , sure like to try the Raid, probably my next…

[@manybikes]

It's a great tire thus far!

[@defylifeadventure]

I don't think the durometer (sp?) readings mean much. IIRC in one your review years ago the Karoo 3 rear had a high reading, yet is one of the fastest wearing tyres out there.

[@manybikes]

Wear is one thing, there are lots of factors that contribute to that. What it does help tell is stickiness of the rubber. How easily the surface conforms around the gravel and objects the tire surface is rolling over. Rubber composition, tire pressure, load temperature and road surface are the biggest wear factor contributors.

[@paulconnell6573]

Rabaconda for the win!

[@manybikes]

Woohooo! Good luck!

2022 KLR 75% road 25% dirt roads.. ??

[@manybikes]

Thanks for watching. It all depends on how much traction / how aggressive you want to get Off-Road.

[@Max-ye9xg]

I like that mission tire from Dunlop it looks Super Bee beefy I care about the four Plies on the motoz

[@manybikes]

The Mission is beefy and heavy but it is missing "blocks" for good mud action.

[@Max-ye9xg]

There's nothing to worry about where one out and try a different one they're all awesome GPS rules DVD Adventure rules Haida Niles nice to

[@manybikes]

The GPS with the Dual Venture front!

[@fahadalzahrani9989]

Karoo 4 !!!!

[@manybikes]

I did really like the Karoo 4! Didn’t have one “on-hand” for this spontaneously recorded video.

[@stavrozinio]

If my Raid set lasted 16k kms, then Mission would last like, what.. 25? :D

[@manybikes]

I’d imagine. It’s so soft compared to the. Mission!

[@stevezatrine7305]

All of the manufacturers with the exception of MOTOZ need to Make tires with more tread depth. Everyone I know who has a dual sport bike would gladly sacrifice a little extra weight and knob squirm on pavement for deeper tread and a longer-lasting tire. The manufacturers could offer one tire with the shorter tread depth and the same tire with the deeper tread depth. I guarantee the deeper tread depth would sell much better. I stick with motoz because they have the deepest tread by far.

[@manybikes]

For sure! Others have to comply with European standards and Motoz does not care about that... Thus the limited block height on most other tires.
