Thanks, Kyle. Excellent as always!

My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@doraexplora6919]

Hey Kyle! Your tire reviews are the best on the internet. You're doing a great job. Thanks a lot for this! I'm Dora. I live in Poland. I have an Aprilia Tuareg 660. I change tires twice a year. In the period from June to September I travel with my family (my husband and son travel in a camper and I travel on a motorcycle). Then we go on long routes together, for example to Montenegro or Morocco... I mainly drive on asphalt, only when we get there we do some dirt together, but that's 10% of the entire trip. Then I need tires more for the road, but ones that can handle well in the forest or on dirt. I read your comments and I'm thinking about the combination: GPS in the back and Mission in the front, or maybe you can recommend an even better combination that will handle dirt better but will also be great on highways... At the end of September I change the tires to more cube-shaped ones (and I ride them until June), because I don't do such long routes on asphalt in winter, the only thing I do is take my son to school, but mainly I play in the dirt :D Please help me choose tires for long trips. So far I've been riding Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR, but I want to try something new, unless you say that STR is the best for me and this type of motorcycle in this particular case :) Thanks a lot and best regards!

[@manybikes]

Your life sounds RAD! I would run the GPS rear and Mission front when you need lots of road miles. Then... maybe the TrailMax Raid for when you want great wet weather all around performance. or... the RallZ / Dual Venture combo. That is a home run!!!

Another great video Kyle. Just want to argue that.. oups sorry, the phone is ringing... 🤣🤣🤣

[@manybikes]

Dude... The ENTIRE Shoot! I shot the RallZ and the GPS that day... 20 calls later I was over it ;) Could you tell... It got to me while editing too... so I included it as a "feature" of the vid. Goodness... Oh, what did you want to argue?

[@Loiczzr]

I love motoz tires. They never let me down here in Nevada desert (and commuting to work everyday) Excellent grip off road and very good longevity (from 6k to 8k miles on desert ht, and mountain hybrid, now on adv tire with a couple hundred miles on them)

[@manybikes]

Couldn't agree more! I LOVE the Desert H/T in Death Valley and Moab! What bike are you running them on, your DRZ? I would suggest you NEXT try the Xtreme Hybrid DOT tire as it is similar to the Mountain Hybrid... BUT it is 6 LESS rows of lugs... so you have MORE BITE with the same compound. They make it in a Gummy compound too. AMAZING traction and they are much lighter than the ADV tire. How are you liking the ADV tire? Did you go with the 120 or the 140 rear?

[@Loiczzr]

@@manybikes 120 rear and 90-90 front on the drz. So far the adv tires are good off road. On street the front "float" a bit on straight line when there is some small bumps (like on rain grooves but not as bad) leaning in curves it stay planted (i lean until about half way to the last row of knobs, no issues)

[@manybikes]

@@Loiczzr thanks for your feedback. Happy to hear they are working well for you.

[@fuelerr]

Just ordered a set of Motoz GPS based on your in-depth review of the Motoz lineup. I ran a set of the Motoz Adventures last season but they get noisy when running highway miles, but an outstanding tire non the less. Looking forward to the upcoming season so I can assess the GPS. Thanks Kyle, really appreciate your videos.

[@manybikes]

Awesome! Enjoy them!

[@Angry-Lynx]

I really don't get people crying about tire noise... Really, how difference does that make when you have almost 100db of engine and wind noise...

[@manybikes]

It is a top asked question...

[@ryanmalone2681]

That inflatable vest never gets old. 😂

[@manybikes]

Ha! Ha! Ha! My kids favorite part too ;)

[@RealHooksy]

I’m just getting a gps rear and a dualventure front, based on advice from your channel (I think😂). Hopefully it will be a good combo for an upcoming trip with 300km bitumen and 300km dirt each way.

[@manybikes]

Rode this past week with a guy on a GPS rear and a Dual Venture front out in the desert ... I was on the Desert HT, two other riders were on the RallZ and another was on the Adventure. All performed amazingly. The GPS rider said he felt like he was on a knobby. The GPS is the longest lasting Adv tire next to the K60 Scout. Great tires.

[@mikemathews1711]

Thank you for sharing all this information....I love watching the "sand" riding....Great video with lots of good points....I'm looking to purchase tires for a 35 day ride in South America...the Motoz GPS and/or the Adventure just might be the correct tire for this ride...big bike (Super Tenere) so I need tires that will do the 5000+ miles and have a lot of tread left at the end of the ride...nasty dirt toward the end of the trip.....what do you think??

[@manybikes]

Sounds awesome! Needing to get tons of miles out of the tire on a big bike I recommend the GPS tire in the rear and the Adventure Tire or the new Dual Venture tire up front. When the going gets into deep sand and or mud... just air the GPS down to the low 20's and let the sidewall lugs do the work. Other than that... Have a Super trip!!!

[@Ramjet257]

The MOTOZ Tractionator GPS is definitely a great tyre for our hot and dry regions in Western Australia. Last September I did a 7500 km trip, including over 1300 dirt kilometres predominantly in 35-40C+ temps, from Albany in the south to the top border with the Northern Territory, Tyres were fitted to a 2016 SuperTenere which was quite heavily laden. They performed well within the limits of the bike and load, never giving me cause for concern. My only beef was with the front, it put high frequency vibes through the bars on sealed roads, but had all the grip I wanted. The tyres are strong, so are heavy, more so the rear. I would use another rear but try a different front purely because of the vibes. I am pretty confident that I could do the complete circumnavigation of the nation on one set. Thanks for the great video.

[@manybikes]

Fantastic real world feedback John, Thank you! Yes, the GPS is a great tire. I prefer to run the Adventure Front as the GPS front is "not dirty enough" for my style of riding. I have also paired the Dunlop TrailMax Mission FRONT tire with the GPS rear as was real happy with that combo. Thanks for watching!

[@robpinter5431]

I wish they made them in a 120/80/18 size...for smaller bikes, Great tyre on a BMW 1100 GS and a Tiger XCA 800

[@manybikes]

Yeah... but the Adventure is made in a 120/90-18 that will work perfect for your bike! (I actually prefer this tire on your light bike over the GPS)... Give it a shot!

[@brettmatson9052]

13 000 km on ozi road .very happy.

[@manybikes]

Crazy mileage these tires provide!

[@paulmcgeechan8503]

Gday Kyle, thanks for all of your reviews you put up. Invaluable information for us all. Looking for some assistance. I'm currently running Metzler Tourance Next on BMW F800GS. They (just) get me through most of the dirt sections I ride, but I definitely need more offroad biased tyres to explore further, and obviously anything will be an improvement. Basically the options I have here are at the moment are Pirelli STR, Motoz GPS, or Mitas EO-7 and EO-7 plus. I have had some experience with the Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR's- found them OK off road/excellent on road, and are tossing between the STR and the Motoz GPS. How much road ability (both wet and dry) will I give up going with Motoz over the STR. Conversely, is the GPS much better over a variety of dirt applications. Like the idea riding more dirt, but that STR is pretty good on the road, and like most of us, I need to cover some distance over some really nice sealed roads before the dirt starts. (Looking for front and rear, and willing to mix them up, and extreme long mileage isn't a priority.) Thanks

[@manybikes]

Thanks for your inquiry Paul. The STR is one of the best feeling tires on the road and it is "ok" off road. The GPS tire is fantastic, but will feel a bit sluggish compared to the STR on the street. This is due to the stiff sidewall, super deep tread blocks. It holds its own on the pavement in the dry and the wet. It will surprise you... air it down off road and it will provide knobby like traction. It is a great tire.

[@paulmcgeechan8503]

Thanks for the quick reply, Kyle. I’ll give the GPS a try. All the best to you, Paul.

[@rodrigofabregas7756]

Another great review Kyle, thank you!. I have the same inquiry that "James H" about the silica compound in the Adventure tires, do they have it?

[@manybikes]

Good question! The Adventure tire has an "Optimized hybrid natural / synthetic compound produces dependable grip in all weather extremes." It does not specify Silica but I'd imagine it does...

[@rodrigofabregas7756]

[@badgeros]

Great Video Kyle. I’d appreciate your advice. I have a new 1250GS with the Battlax A41’s as stock. They are fine on the street but haven’t taken then off-road yet. They don’t look like they’ll be great for my expected 70/30 usage (no soft sand). So thinking the GPS front and rear. Do you think this would be a good fit for the GS and would going to an “adventure” on the front make sense with the 70/30 usage? If you have another brand / combo in mind do tell….Thanks again.

[@manybikes]

Thanks for your inquiry. Sorry for my delay! The GPS will be great in the rear, but I’d suggest the Dual Venture up front. The GPS isn’t as grippy off road as I’d like.

[@lordstrong1545]

Thank you for this video, I've been researching tires for about a month now and mostly through your videos, and I've come to a conclusion, these tires are it. I have a question, can you run a tube in this tire ? I'm looking at the 140/80 18

[@manybikes]

Yes! Tubes can be run in any Motoz tire. The 140 is a Tube Type tire, the 150 is Tubeless. Message me in FB or IG and I can sell them to you.

[@daveo9844]

I fitted a gps rear to my Triumph Tiger 1200 rally pro. It was severely out of round. Had to true it up with a belt sander due to the highway speed vibrations. Hopefully it’s a one off 🤔🍻

[@manybikes]

Wow! That I have never heard from Motoz! Did you try dismounting and re balancing?

Just getting back on a bike after 2 years lay off..... picked up a mint condition 2015 KTM 690 Enduro that looks like its never seen dirt! I think i'm gonna pick up some of the Motoz more aggressive off-road tires soon.... and then let the shopping spree begin!

[@edwardlawson9200]

I've just jumped on a 130/80/17 for my little Versys X 300 and hearing how you feel about the front, I'm interested in what you would pick. I was happy with E07s rear and knobs front of the 2016 AT but the versys is much lighter!

[@manybikes]

I’m not a fan of the chevron shaped front lugs. I’d go with the Dual Venture front tire.

[@MaxDavisCo]

Thanks for the info - sold - I was going to do as you noted on my 2003 BMW Dakar 650 with the GPS on back and the Adventure on front - but dont see a adventure 21 front - also would you run tubeless on this size bike?- thanks for your help

[@manybikes]

Thanks for watching. I can provide you the tires. The Adventure front has been discontinued and replaced by the Dual Venture front. On your 650 I’d do the Tubeless if wanting solid on-road performance or the Tube Type if you want more dirt performance. They do well both places, but they lean one way or the other.

[@cravspeed]

Great video! Is there a difference in longevity (mileage) in directions of that tire between mostly off-road and 50/50?

[@manybikes]

I’ve run it both ways with no noticeable difference

[@gregoryyount6907]

In the video on the GPS you stated that it was one of the three best long distance ADV tires, along with the Heidenau Scout. What is the third long distance tire you were referring to? And does Metzeler or Continental have any offerings that are close, if not equal to the above? Thanks. I appreciate your opinions.

[@manybikes]

The only other close contenders are the Mitas E07+ and the Dunlop TrailMax Mission!

[@MRGS48]

Hey Kyle! As we all know that Benjamin tree dried out in the back so my question is this: Would you recommend the Motoz GPS for a BMW GS that does a little off roading or should I get something else like the Anakee Wilds? 6-8k miles are fine as far as longevity goes. If I get em from your store do you mount them as well or not? Thanks

[@manybikes]

What’s up! The GPS is a GREAT tire but nowhere as “dirty” as the Anakee Wild tire. It’s like a motocross tire for your GS ;) For occasional dirt, the GPS is more than ample. Yes, the shop can mount them… just make an appointment.

[@MRGS48]

@@manybikes Awesome thanks!!!

[@brandonrides8953]

I've noticed my new GPS front is a little wobbly on the highway. R1250GSA

[@manybikes]

That is interesting. Next time run the Dunlop TrialMax Mission up front.

[@johnbyrne5322]

Have been running the tyres for the last 13000 km or there about. Mostly positive , we had one major issue on a recent trip , on crossing a 3 metre wide rocky creek bed , a stone put a 6 mm tear in between the treads through the carcass , causing rapid deflation and the tyre coming away from the bead. Major headache , which could not be repaired on the side of the road ( no ratchet strap ) , the mechanic at a outback station also had issues in trying to rebead so as to find the leak. Good on most surfaces , except small sharp rocks.

[@manybikes]

Wow!!! That is nuts! The ratchet strap is a necessity when it comes to getting these tubeless tires to seat a bead. Such a pain in the booty... As for punctures like you mentioned... These are tough tires. Can't imagine how shredded a TKC80 would have been!!!

[@brettmatson9052]

[@shingod700]

When you say you air down to 30 psi, is it hot or cold? I have a 1290 sar and rpms warning is on if I air down to 30 psi

[@manybikes]

I run 30ish most of the time. I do check it when it is Cold before I leave in the AM. Now fi our riding around... I typically don't touch if, but if I do... I just air it up or down with little regard to temperature. Then... when cold I do "double check" and adjust. I had my 1190's TPMS set at 20 by the KTM tech. See Ya Warning Light!

[@raymondcerneus1844]

Hi Kyle, I'm looking for some new tires to replace the stock Pirelli's on my T7. Which one do you advise based upon the fact I'm planning to do the ACT Portugal and a lot of twisties. I assume the ADV will handld better on the dirt and the GPS on the road?

[@manybikes]

Yes 100%. If you are okay with 4k miles from a tire I suggest the RallZ rear and the Dual Venture front. Far superior set-up.

Does running in the mostly offroad direction vs. 50/50 change the longevity of the tire?

Nope. I have found the same mileage either direction.

[@rfrolic]

I'm looking at replacing my stock Pirelli Scorpion rally STR. I'm looking at the Anakee wild, Motoz tractionator adventure, Motoz tractionator GPS. I'm worried about road noise. I'm looking for a tire that is good on the road, but will have decent traction offroad. What would you recommend?

[@manybikes]

I’m a fan of the Motoz as they work great off-road while lasting a long time on-road. The Anakee Wild is a great tire but I roast them way too quickly. The GPS is the quietest Motoz and really works well, but the RallZ is my favorite.

Hi Kyle, do you ship to Canada? I live in Rosedale, British Columbia.

[@CzeBlaKZz]

Hello Kyle, great review as always! I'd like to ask as I can't decide. I got last year my KTM 1290 SA R (2018) which came with Continental Scorpion 2 that I want to change now. I am riding 60/40 I would say but when i go offroad I usually do a mostly dirt roads and grassy/muddy areas, no sand whatsoever in my country. I am stuck between Motoz Adventure, GPS and MItas E-07, could please help with my choice? Thank you, Jan.

[@manybikes]

Having run all of those... I suggest the Motoz Adventure in the rear and the Dual Venture up front. It handles great, lasts a long time AND it won't let you down in the dirt.

Hi Kyle, how do you rate the Dunlop Trailmax Mission against the Motoz GPS?

[@mattbarrois8675]

Yes that is the $400 question

[@manybikes]

I really need to do a side-by-side comparo between these two tires. Both are great, but I lean towards the Mission up front and the GPS in the rear. The Mission front is that 10% more aggressive than the GPS and that is the reason I typically run the ADV Front / GPS Rear. Now... the GPS rear mounted in the 50/50 direction is I am going to say a good 10% Dirtier than the Mission tire. The GPS is also wider and flatter so there is much more rubber on the ground as compared to the round profile of the Mission tire. Both are great... but they are DIFFERENT. Crazy eh... That is my 2 cents :0

Did you dance around the wet roads ability. You said what it is supposed to do, but not how it actually handled.

[@manybikes]

Sorry... on the GSA I rode the GPS directly following the K60 Scout so it felt like a sport bike tire when it came to grippyness both in the dry AND in the Cold / Wet. I rode it all winter and never felt unstable. I think it performs great in the wet. That was on a big heavy bike too... maybe a smaller lighter bike would handle differently. Thanks for watching.

Hey Kyle, Andy from the Uk here, this question is a minefield, what would be your best combination with MOTOZ tyres, BMW R1250 GS travelling about 600 miles from England to the French Alps, on the roads, 6 days off road mountain tracks, then back again on the roads, was thinking Adventure rear and Dual Venture front, but would like to know what this combination would be like on the road, dry and wet, Or even what you think would be good 👍 Regards Andy

[@manybikes]

600 miles I’d run the RallZ rear and the Dual Venture front. 6000 miles I’d go with the Adv rear and 8k plus miles I’d go the GPS rear. I’d run the Dual Venture with all of these rear tires.

Silica is hydrophilic

[@manybikes]

The Silica "repels or disperses the water thus I refer to it as hydrophobic. Looking it up, byjus.com says, "Hydrophilic means water loving; hydrophobic means resistant to water. 2. Hydrophilic molecules get absorbed or dissolved in water, while hydrophobic molecules only dissolve in oil-based substances. ... 4. Hydrophilic molecules are polar and ionic; hydrophobic molecules are non-polar."

Will the tire wear out in off-road mode faster than in 50/50 mode?

Nope! Same longevity either direction. I prefer the mostly off road direction.
