Mitas E-10 Dakar Tire Review

[@troywallace8929]

great review - Ive been running a E-07 + Dakar on my T7 rear and think Im going to mount the E10 Dakar on the front. In Colorado and the only pavement I do is to the trail. Ive had the E07 + Dakar in Moab, Colorado and Big Bend and love the tire. I also ride with a Mitas rep and get a good deal on Mitas tires...

[@manybikes]

Sounds great! I really really like the E10 tires. The E07+ Dakar is a great tire but not "aggressive enough" for what I like to do. The E10 was the $$$. Good thing you have a Mitas rep, they are kind of hard to find here in the USA.

Informative video thanks Kyle 👍

[@manybikes]

Yes Sir!

[@cpuuk]

Awesome review in real world conditions- thanks.

[@manybikes]

My pleasure!

[@howlinhog]

If you thin grooved roads are squirrelly, you should cross the Mackinac Bridge. It has metal grating that has lengthwise strips.

[@manybikes]

That sounds awesome!

[@dualsportdiary1150]

Throwback video!! Very cool. These tires certainly get the job done!

[@manybikes]

I’ve got about 80 videos in the queue that I have shot but haven’t had the time to edit up and post to the channel. I’m weaving them into the “current events.” Thanks for watching!

@@manybikes thanks for the videos keep em coming. I always try to repost them to spread the word 🐱

[@pl5861]

Looks like they'd be a good replacement for the K60 Scouts on my KLR650. Thanks for the review.

[@manybikes]

Right on, I like them but they will wear out quicker than the scouts.

[@rodrigofabregas7756]

Nice review Kyle!, I've the E-07+ (50/50), rear thread life was about 4000 miles, I think the E-10 would be pretty less than that

[@manybikes]

Great point, I totally agree.

[@BlackdogADV]

I just installed a E10 on my 1200GS, looks like I’ll only get 4,000 miles at the most out of it. I go to the Arctic every year and need a tire that can make the round trip of 5,000 miles. Been using the E07s which are great but could use more off road traction. Maybe the E09s?

[@manybikes]

I have not yet run the E09's... I am curious to hear what you think.

[@BlackdogADV]

Someone suggested running a E10 front and E07 rear, was that you? I’m mostly concerned about front traction as that’s the biggest issue on the Dempster.

[@manybikes]

@@BlackdogADV That is actually a really good idea. Some people LOVE the E07 and it works really really well for them. If it were me... I'd run the Motoz GPS tire in the rear as it has taken me 12k miles on 2 different bikes and it hooks up really well in all conditions.

[@brettshafer6617]

I would love if you would do a review on mitas e09 before I get a set there is no review on that tire on KZbin

[@manybikes]

Well... I have reached out to my sources to see if I can acquire a set of the E09 tires for a bit of testing. I'll run them through the exact course and will come back with a direct side-by-side comparison. Stay tuned! - Kyle

[@brettshafer6617]

@@manybikes awesome I can't wait to see

[@ckkrons2338]

I think the E09 is going to be similar to a E10 but little longer life with firmer compound. I just replace an E09 rear on my DR650 at 3000 miles. Solid tire but 'side bite' a little lacking off road due to bigger blocks....that said very solid leaned down on the street.

[@Janduin45]

@@manybikes Still staying tuned for the E-09 review.

[@txkid1818]

@KyleBradshaw what's your take on the Motoz Tractionator Rallz front and back for the Africa Twin Adventure Sports? Would you use a different front tire? Thanks!

[@manybikes]

The RallZ is my current favorite tire and I have them on two of my machines. If doing A Lot of street... I would suggest the Dunlop TrailMax Mission up front and the RallZ in the rear. If doing lots of off-road, stick with the RallZ all the way around. My 2 cents.

[@txkid1818]

@@manybikes thanks for the input!

[@actstuntcam]

Awesome thorough review. Cheers :)

[@manybikes]

Thank you kindly!

[@CurtisBrandt]

These look great. I have the E-07+ on my new 890R. They feel really good (better than I expected) in most conditions ranging from the street to hard pack dirt. I rode some sand today and wow, major pucker factor. The bike has felt fine in all other conditions but seemed like it was going to throw me on the ground at multiple points in the sand. (This is a familiar riding area and my main other point of comparison is my 300 XC, and I railed this area on that in 4-5th gear on the pipe - I wasn't sketched out by the terrain, it was what the bike was doing which, honestly, felt dangerous). Are these E-10s better in those conditions? Are any tires actually good in deep sand for these big bikes???

[@manybikes]

I totally feel you!!! The E10 is much more planted feeling. I really like the Motoz Rallz for the deep sand.

[@CurtisBrandt]

@@manybikes You’re a legend. Thanks for the quick follow up! My plan is to explore more aggressive off road traction, and wait to ride the sand again until it’s damp and fun. ;-)

[@manybikes]

@@CurtisBrandt Sweet! Sand is FUN! You need to get one of these tires made! Honda Africa Twin Takes on DEEP Sand at Glamis - Adventure Bikes in the Imperial Sand Dunes kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqarZZKPepdoeqc

[@manybikes]

@@CurtisBrandt Ha! Ha! I was so tired at the end of the day. I buried that bike SO MANY times!!!

[@thejohnnerparty]

@Kyle - The only question: Would you recommend the tires?

[@manybikes]

Yes, I really like them... they work really well. BUT they wear out really quick.

[@knorke2340]

Did you put a tube in the rim? Usually it's tubeless in case of 1190, isn't it?

[@manybikes]

This tire is tubeless and I ran it that way on the 1190.

[@guyrotem5079]

Hey Kyle, i would love for you to do a full video on what exactly did you changed, added or removed in your 390 duke to make it more off road! Please!

[@manybikes]

Coming soon! I have been putting together my talking points while out on each excursion... I'll get them compiled here soon! Thanks for watching.

[@mikesbigadventures194]

So now the question is, how long will they last? 8k like the TrailMax or 3k like the AX41. I’m thinking closer to the AX41

[@cyclopathic998]

If you wanna get some miles out of them get E-10 Dakar front and E-07 (non-plus) Dakar rear that combo will outlast TrailMax. You will loose some hookup but E07 rear hooks better and lasts longer than MotoZ GPS.. and mismatch seems to cure sidewinder somewhat. 1190/1290 are known for chewing tires people wear AX41 fronts in less than 1500mi. Kyle is more gentle on tires still his mileage wouldn't be a good indicator if you are on lighter bike

[@mikesbigadventures194]

@@cyclopathic998 Yeah I’m on a 790 R and trying to decide the next set of tires. Good info thanks

[@cyclopathic998]

@@mikesbigadventures194 just beware that Dakars really stiff stiffer than K60 and even MotoZ, so changing tubes at trailside would be a difficult proposition especially if you don't have good irons. They also like lower pressure but that is a different story. For the which set to decide on depends on what conditions you are riding in an what mileage you need. Anakee Wilds are good also MotoZ Desert HT/RallZ/Adventure/GPS, they also seem to mix and match well

[@manybikes]

Interesting combo and Great feedback!

[@manybikes]

What other tires are you debating over?

[@gerardocudich2982]

If you only care about off road and price is not the concern or miles what knobby tire would you choose ? Anakee wild , motoz mitas or something else ?

[@drewd9736]

Assuming you're on a heavy adventure bike like the 1190, The MotoZ Tractionator Desert H/T is both reasonably priced and amazing off-road. It might last 1500-2000 miles depending on your style but it feels a little squirrelly on road (It has big knobs, I run it on my 950 Super Enduro). The Shinko E805 is one of my favorites for everything. I got about 3000 miles on my 1190 Adv R and that included doing all the hardest trails around the Colorado Alpine loop plus Black Bear, Imogene and Ophir pass 2-up, and it also holds really well on road. One it was about 85% worn I started getting punctures pretty easily but I carry a plug kit so no big deal.

[@manybikes]

Great points Drew! I happen to think the Motoz RallZ is the most aggressive and one of the longest lasting tires for Adventure Riding. I like it better than the Desert HT, but it too is a fantastic tire.

[@marcelruiz1939]

I like your videos , I don't know if you are doing these videos at this time, I'm watching this video because I'm deciding between Mitas E-10 and Continental TKC 80 for mu KTM, please can you recommend which to buy? I need help because I'm undecided

[@manybikes]

Thanks for your message. Yes, still doing videos! Just tough getting new tires these days! The TKC80 is a Go-to tire for many people. I really liked the handling of the E10! If similar prices I’d take the E10 over the TKC80

[@eriktaylor7066]

Here's the question, are the E10 Dakars worth the extra $100 over Kenda B.B.??

[@manybikes]

It really depends on how / what you are riding. Not pushing it on the street and mile off-road the Big Block will totally do it. Check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWPEYXxsd7eor7M and if you want to rip everywhere… the E10 is the winner: kzbin.info/www/bejne/amW3dWB3oNN8qsU

[@chrisssinstockholm]

Hi Kyle, I appreciate your videos a lot. Thanks 👍 In an earlier clip you mentioned that the weight varies a lot between different tires. You had s compilation on a paper and mentioned a few examples. Is that data available somewhere? BR/Chrisss

[@manybikes]

You got it! Contact me on IG and we can discuss it.

[@brandenhellman4381]

Great video as always! My go to place for honest tire reviews for sure! Kyle is just a man! How do these compare to the Motoz Rallz? (I’m on the market for a high-performing off road tire that I can ride on the highway one state over)

[@manybikes]

No comparison to the RallZ. These tires will get more mileage... but the RallZ will be a better feeling tire all the way around in my opinion. If you decide to go that route... Reach out and I'll get you taken care of.

[@evergreendreaming6130]

[@manybikes]

The 1190 Adv R is one of my favorites. It rivals my 950 Super Enduro... I LOVE and HATE the tech all at the same time ;)

[@AT2021Rocker]

Just took mine off. Front was out of round. Not impressed with on or off-road performance. They wore really fast.

[@Mejfkl]

Nothing negative?

[@manybikes]

They worked well everywhere... but didn’t last long. That’s the downside. Well, I guess there is another downside... The front tire does not hold air on my tubeless wheels. If I let it sit more than a week it goes completely flat.

[@chriseinam9318]

Terrible mileage tire - only lasted 900 Kms on a husky 901 - cracks ,chunks gone Worn out Good on road nice a quiet - but less than 1000k and only one 3 day adv ride - not worth the 330 aus dollars

[@manybikes]

Thanks for sharing! I did like it on the pavement and in the dirt. It did wear out quickly though, that I agree with.
