Motoz Tractionator Adventure tyre sand dune beach test ride and review.

Motoz Tractionator Adventure tyre review. Reviewing the performance of the net Motoz Tractionator in soft sand dunes.
KTM 1290 Adventure Beach run.

[@Britishshooter]

Extremely impressed that a front tyre with that compromise type pattern is so stable in the soft sand! Especially when you were criss crossing other deep wheel ruts, quite amazing. Bloody good test that is for sure! I am certainly going to consider these in future.

[@rinusversteeg7919]

Respect for the sand skills.... and the wheely... 😀

[@showmytime9177]

I never seen a man so happy about having a Toyota flatbed truck

[@mostlymotorcycles.]

Lol

[@mbarnatan1]

Most excellent video. Enjoyed it very much. Happy to see your rear tire held up on the rim. I ride the same bike and lost the bead on the rear tire at 10 psi while riding deep sand. By the way, your deep sand skills are great. Not easy on the big lady! Marcos from Oregon, USA.

[@fixxfixx]

Man, what a beautiful place to ride!! Envy envy envy!! :)

[@manybikes]

Love it! Just had a 12 Paddle tire made for my 1190 Adv R and we are headed to the Glamis Sand Dunes in California. Yeeeee Haw!

[@mostlymotorcycles.]

Can’t wait for the Vid on that

[@ericthuel9417]

OMG your at my old 4x4 stomping ground here, not only that I’m in still here living in Boyanup and have a new 1290SA Loved ya vid…you got some balls doing that at Buffalo softest sand I’ve ever been in in winter Great stuff

That all looks so soft ! Nice work mate she’s a big girl to take to the sand

[@spacetruckin6555]

That was excellent! Thank you from the Northern Hemisphere! We're freezing our butts off now.

[@defiantone3019]

We drill or rims and set short screws in to illuminate the tire moving on the rim. But it’s for tubed tires. Not tubeless.

[@terrystratford1235]

Great vid m8! Ive the africa twin 1100 and enjoy the odd byroad in the uk! Ive mitas e07+ front, dakar rear. Really good on and off tarmac! For the next set im thinking the motoz adventure rear and ax41 front😊

[@690adv2]

what a rush riding big adv bikes in dunes cant get enough of it great video

[@mxtrials5555]

Great bike and riding sand can be tough. Nice work

[@SmokinZen]

That's what I call a serious sand riding video, amazing how the front looks like it is doing so well, wonder if my 21"would do as good with these tires.

[@mostlymotorcycles.]

Its all about getting on top of the sand and letting the bike have its head. Well to a certain extent anyway 😉

[@markyoung9027]

Be fore you mount your tyre take a rag with a li'l kerosene scrub the beads till they get sticky. Kerosene Is also an excellent slippy for mounting as it disappears quick. Really quick in the heat. Of corse make sure the seat area on the rim is clean/deglased light sand paper steel wool tyre shouldn't slip on the rim after that

[@ronanrogers4127]

Man that looks like a workout!

[@johnnste1]

If you’re still looking for a way to lock your tyre to the rim you could look into the Tubliss system. It acts as a 360 degree rim lock and you could run lower than 10psi. Only drawback is that it isn’t supposed to be used on road bikes, and I’m not sure if your rim would perhaps be too wide for it?

[@mel22b]

Ive looked into this and have always wondered if it would work on these big ADV bikes. The centre channel on the rear rim is really wide compared to a dirt bike. Not sure if it would work.

[@yetiboy01australia23]

@@mel22b Its a shame but the Tubliss system is only designed for for the narrower dirt bike rims, wish they would bring a wider size for the Adv bikes

[@MidCoastAdventures]

Nice vid mate, enjoyed it. Just bought a set of Motoz Desert Race to put on my CRF Rally. Keen to try them on the beach also. Tough environment hey, but you were going well. Cheers. Subbed :)

[@louismansuetti9158]

Good skills!

Wowwww, Amazing landscape, I love you r country. Sand like this is very tough, and with a heavy bike. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍. What area in Australia is this....

[@bount320i]

Good video! Keep up the good work mate !

[@thierrybriand2413]

Nice riding mate ! isn't 15/10 psi a bit low ? Did you try with a bit higher pressure, say around 20 ?

[@mostlymotorcycles.]

Sure did, but just couldn't get enough drive to get on top of the sand.

[@Itchybite]

Very impressive. 👍

[@jrbass62]

Are those mechanic boots?? I would love to be riding on that beach!! Great Video !!

[@TheZakkmylde]

With a stiff side wall is it still necessary to air down ?

[@Motowanderlust]

Awesome video!

[@kc329191]

Great Video review mate!

[@MrSchu74]

The axle was installed backwards. Tightening nut always goes on the right side.

[@RandomGRK]

For those that have this Adventure tire, what’s it like with road noise on pavement? I have the Desert HT which is overkill for me but man it is sooooo loud. Drowns everything else out and I need something different.

[@mostlymotorcycles.]

The tyres are noisy on the road. But that's the trade off with knobby tyres.

[@IAmYourReflection]

@@mostlymotorcycles. how do they grip on pavement during hard corners?

[@Captndarty]

I’ve never heard of anyone running the big KTMs with 10 to 15 psi...

[@thomasforesman3978]

Yeah, You should have kept the tire at their recommended psi. I keep my 2018 1290 at the recommended psi and it handles just fine in any environmental sand, mud, snow, ice the bike is a beast in power, so I don't need to do any drop in PSI. On my motocross bike? Yes, I change it all the time.

[@portlandtwowheels1872]

@johnny Gunn How long did those tires last for on road and off road?

[@motovloggingwithvman2188]

How do these perform on the road, are they very noisy? Stability at high speeds?

[@mostlymotorcycles.]

They are noisy at low speed say up to 70kph after that wind noise drowns it out. Stability at speeds is ok, they are definitely more off road. oriented

[@motovloggingwithvman2188]

@@mostlymotorcycles. I'd probably go with the MotoZ Tractionator GPS..

[@motovloggingwithvman2188]

Alright! That's the shit!

[@christophermills3275]

Look like an awesome time! Are you in WA by any chance.

[@optimusprime1975]

Would love to know what your suspension settings was as this also makes a huge difference

[@TheBousouzoku]

Adjust it slightly stiffer compression and slower rebound. Ride fast and stay loose. Start in 2nd gear.

[@matthewoakley6081]

Tublis would act as rim lock

[@renmoto8484]

How long did these tires end up lasting? I'm thinking about getting either these or the Tractionator GPS tires on my Tiger and I've heard they can make it 20,000km, which is insane if it's true.

[@mostlymotorcycles.]

I'm up to 12000kms with a fair bit of heavy throttle use. But, they are definitely on the way out now. May get another 1500 to 2000ks max.

[@tigerrider007]

What camera were you using to film? Thanks.

[@mostlymotorcycles.]

GoPro hero 6,

[@tigerrider007]

Thanks, also, never ridden in deep sand, is that why you went down so low on your tire pressures? @@mostlymotorcycles.

[@mostlymotorcycles.]

It’s necessary to reduce pressure for soft sand, the lower the better. But as you saw from the video without rim locks the tyre will drift around the rim. There is an old saying from dirt riders that goes, Soft on Soft and Hard on Hard. Just means soft suspension settings and soft tyres on soft surface, mud / sand And vice versa for rocky terrain.

[@armandnel4854]

Awesome work on the sand mate, obviously not your first time. I'm looking at getting a set of these for my BMW1200GSA

[@pedrinho32286]

What’s the best way to learn to ride in the sand?

[@mostlymotorcycles.]

Like anything practice. But a few things make it more easy. Low tyre pressure, letting the bike wander don't fight it to much. Lots of power. Stay off the breaks until the last second. Keep your weight off the front wheel, until you have to turn. Sounds a lot doesn't it. But with time it come naturally.

[@earlgray1710]

you need rim locks if you’re going to run your tires at low pressures.

[@ericpriebe4290]

They are tubeless rims and tyres. Can't use rim locks on 'em. Not sure what the big deal is about the tyre 'walking on the rim', as long as it doesn't come off. :-)

[@robertogiraldes1868]

Excellent video! Thanks. Which tire inflator do you have?

[@mostlymotorcycles.]

If I’m travelling light, I use CO2 canisters. 3 is enough for 1 inflation of the rear so I carry 6 with plugs of course. I also have a small 12v compressor I take for long haul trips. I’ve shaved it down to save weight and I’m not sure of the brand. A mate gave it to me years back. It’s not light, weighing in at around 1.5kgs.

[@Wrong-Way-Round]

Which way round did you have the rear tyre 50/50 or turned round for max offroad use. Or didn't you know of this function.

[@mostlymotorcycles.]

Had it for dirt direction

[@jaybourbon8608]

What psi do you reccomend for the street?

I'm running 38 front 40 rear.

The did chip in the rocky terrain. But I got excellent kilometres out of them considering how much the 1290 eats through tires they did pretty well. Have just fitted the same two tyres again.

Try blue lock tight on your tyer fitting to stop it slipping on the rim put a small amount on the beed before inflating see if that helps

Riding on the beach ruins a bike. No matter how hard you try to clean it up there will be oxidation from the salt.
