Michelin Anakee Wilds | Initial Thoughts |

[@artb1974]

It’s really neat that you have those tracks to ride. I always figured you didn’t have much public land. That riding looks like a lot of fun.

[@EpicMotorcycleAdventures]

There’s so many lanes to ride. You’ve just got to look for them.

[@CuriousGoose]

A walk in the park compared to yesterday 😂😂😂

[@EpicMotorcycleAdventures]

Yesterday was EPIC

[@kenbrooks7794]

😁🤣🤣

[@MotoMango]

Wow that trail looked awesome.

[@EpicMotorcycleAdventures]

It’s pretty cool.

[@tonyfinch6328]

Looked fun

[@EpicMotorcycleAdventures]

Like me a bit of fun.

[@kenbrooks7794]

From what ive seen of you recently, those tyres are doing you well! I didnt realise that youve had dealings with the Urban, did you like it? Ive always fancied the look of them, they look like a newer version of mine...

[@EpicMotorcycleAdventures]

I am enjoying the new tyres. Definitely better in the mud than the Karoo 4’s. The Urban GS was beautiful. Just looked like a newer version of yours. If I was to become a sensible person and went off roading on a “proper” dirt bike, id consider the Urban as my road bike.

Just got this vid mark and have to say I've been running an anakee wild on front of t7 for a while now and quite pleased overall. Have noticed at higher speeds in the wet you can tell she's a knobbly but never feels like she's going to fail grip wise. Have you noticed this I wander🤔

[@EpicMotorcycleAdventures]

They pretty solid despite some very spirited riding in the wet and dry.

[@charliestoybox2099]

So which tires were more confidence inspiring for you? I was very happy with the Karoo4 even on wet rocks. I haven’t tried the Anakee Wilds yet. But wet weather performance is important to me.

[@EpicMotorcycleAdventures]

I feel that both types of tyres work equally as well. I would say the Anakee’s are better in mud.

[@HippoDrones]

I've heard really good things about the Michelin Anakee Wilds, only issue is how long they last.

[@EpicMotorcycleAdventures]

So far I’m loving them, but the rear ain’t gonna last long.

[@HippoDrones]

@@EpicMotorcycleAdventures the trouble with big adv bikes

[@kenbrooks7794]

I think that generally speaking, a tyre that really does its job well won't last very long. It's always a compromise 🤔

[@HippoDrones]

@@kenbrooks7794 Absolutely... I run Motoz Tractionator RallZ on my Tuareg, and they are great in sloppy mud and sand, reasonable for a knobbly tyre on tarmac but last really well... the Tractionator Adventures last even longer and are even better in sloppy wet mud, but are scary on wet tarmac.

[@EpicMotorcycleAdventures]

@@HippoDrones that and my over enthusiastic throttle hand 😂

[@greenrush4313]

if you only could pick only one of the tires .Which would it be the Karoos 4 or the wilds?

[@EpicMotorcycleAdventures]

I have no preference. They’re pretty much equal.

[@damienstuart9633]

Too be fair, you didn't achieve anything with this video, to rate a set of tire like this you need to run then on tarmac and dirt, forget the hard gravel, all tires are ok with that. I watched this because im looking for a new set of tires, all i managed was to waste 15 minutes of my life

[@EpicMotorcycleAdventures]

Thanks for watching.
