Royal Enfield Classic 350 - Trail Tyres Review!

Heidenau K60 trail tyres review after 1000 miles on my Royal Enfield Classic 350, a game changer for the country roads I often ride!,
NOTE- 1 d I was out filming the orange engine management light came on a few times which you will see in somelip, I have idea why it did and it only did it this one ride so save you asking why its on! LOL!

That's a sharp Jeep+Bike combo going on there!

[@Coastriderscotland]

That’s my friends Willys but I also have one, gearbox is out this now but be back running and be out diving soon it’s getting warmer, will take the Go Pro! 😁👍 cheers Bruce

[@WillysHellToad]

Im have the same...!! In Alicante Spain . 💪❤

[@RamaAlonso]

No matter the bike you have, there's no coming back from getting a good set of on/off tyres, you feel like you could go anywhere. I did the same in my 125 cc.

[@Coastriderscotland]

Yep it makes a big difference on rural roads where I ride 😁👍 Cheers Bruce

[@blue2824]

Great video and I’m glad you included your jeep. That bike and that jeep look fantastic together.

[@Coastriderscotland]

Thanks blue2824, the Jeep is actually my friends which does look near identical to my Jeep except for the army bonnet number, my Jeep needs gearbox put back in after a new clutch but need another pair of strong arms to raise it up and into place, will get it running soon! 👍😁 Cheers Bruce

Great video Bruce, as I have mentioned previously, I fitted the same to my Honda CRF250L when I had it, they are a brilliant compromise on/off road tyres. They were so much better than the ones it came with, they rattled my fillings out on the road. Loved the photo at the end 😎

You're bike looks way nicer than a standard Signals Green. 👍 It was definitely worth the effort you put into it.

[@Coastriderscotland]

Cheers😁👍 when I started doing it and it was all in bits sprayed with primer I was like ‘what am I doing?’ 🤣😁 but once back together was real pleased and worth the effort, done in a weeks holiday of rare warm temps for Late Autumn the paint has lasted ok over last 3 months winter riding 👍😁 Cheers Bruce

Great to watch. I put Heidenau's on my ex Serbian Army Guzzi Nuovo Falcone. Performed really well and looked great. Sold the bike to a friend a couple of years ago. Mistake, yet again! I now have an Enfield Trials Replica and will be replacing the stock tyres with Heidenau's when the time comes. Keep up the excellent work.

Heidenau K60s been using them for a while, they are just brilliant for on/off road mixed use.

[@Coastriderscotland]

Been impressed with the mileage with 6000 mikes out the rear on a bike constantly changing speeds and gears on country roads mostly 😁👍

[@ccooper8785]

Definitely the type of tyres that should have been fitted as stock to this bike. I much preferred the standard road tyres of the early '80s to the soft, semicircular profiled tyres of today. (I just wish we were also offered the option of cast wheels from new)

[@Coastriderscotland]

Yep off of cast wheels and make tubeless rims standard would be a good option and not take much more costs once set up with the volume of bikes they now sell 👍 cheers Bruce

Really nice video and nice bike! Heidenau tires are pretty good and solid and they fit perfect to your bike. The handlebar looks wider than the factory bar. What kind of bar is it. Looks great! Kind regards from Germany …

[@Coastriderscotland]

Hi Dr D, the tyres seem to have been the right choice for my build and where I ride 👍, the handlebar is a Webcomic Desert Bar, steel and chromed though I painted them green!, they are an inch wider and slightly straighter Bend giving a wider appearance 👍😁 Cheers Bruce

[@Coastriderscotland]

Hi I use a Go Pro Hero 10 with a foam wind cover and it’s seems to pick up the exhaust nicely, also your probably picking up the noise of the intake from the DNA air filter with stage 2 end, it’s addictive! your bike even stock has a lovely deep note you will love 😁👍

[@borderlands6606]

Tempted by the Heidenau, as I found the stock Ceat tyres wanted to track from new. I've tried them at various pressures and rear suspension loadings, but never had complete confidence in them. Haven't had a similar issue with tyres before, and that includes some dodgy old east-European rubber. I'll give them a few hundred miles to see if it's just me.

[@Coastriderscotland]

There are quite a few other road tyres available including Pirelli on the U.K. Hitchcocks website 😁👍

[@bencarpenter3785]

Awesome..What bars are on your beautiful bike mate?!!🇦🇺👍

[@Coastriderscotland]

Hi, thanks, i did fit these Webco Vintage Desert bars, but the straight ends were not long enough so the levers used to sit not parallel to the grips, I have now refitted the stock bars and added a cross brace 😁👍

[@paulharvey5053]

Hi Bruce what's the mileage like out of those tyres ? Did I see you changed the rear once.

[@Coastriderscotland]

Hi i got 6000 miles out the first rear tyre and although the rear still had decent tread depth when changed it had a flattened centre by then so the second rear tyre will get replaced when its done 5000 miles and front also will be replaced as will have done 10,000 miles 😁👍 Cheers Bruce

[@paulharvey5053]

Just completed first service on my Classic 350 Signals (Marsh Grey) - though it is actually marsh green! Will get to know the bike ... but after the first 3000 service ... this could be a good option. Thanks. Q - what are the panniers like?

[@Coastriderscotland]

Hi, trail tyres made a great improvement on country roads 👍 Best buy genuine panniers as the cheaper copies from India via eBay were rotten after on winter with the bike always out side, I had to buy another set before summer so now bought 2 sets for £140 the same price as a pair of genuine RE Panniers sadly genuine green panniers are still out of stock in the U.K. at Hitchcocks Cheers Bruce

[@Stu-bw2fw]

@@Coastriderscotland much obliged Bruce.

[@Geshmaal]

How do you rate wet grip on the road Vs the stock CEAT tyres? People worry about how the K60s will perform on wet roads but surely it can't be any worse than the Indian-made nylon tyres these bikes come with...

[@Coastriderscotland]

Hi, I rate them as good if not better, My stock Ceat tyres had a planted feel until about 2000 miles then the front would track crossing lines in the road left from snowploughs, these tyres cut through the same lines with no problems and cornering on cold wet roads is fine giving confidence 😁👍 cheers Bruce

[@buzzlightyear1484]

Why do you feel like indian made tyres would be inferior without trying it. Something made by indians doesnt mean it would be inferior to western one's. We just provide stuff with more affordable prices

[@Geshmaal]

@@buzzlightyear1484 I have ridden on Enfields with the stock CEAT tyres and they are more slippery in the wet than I'm used to, having mostly ridden on Bridgestone, Avon and Dunop tyres. In my experience they also wear down very quickly and start to suffer with dry rot which produces cracks in the sidewall of the tyre prematurely - I'm talking within a year of fitting to the bike. It feels like the tyres they fit are made as cheaply as possible just to get the bike out of the showroom but the expectation is that they will be replaced quickly. It is also nearly impossible to buy CEAT tyres outside of India so they are a relatively unknown quantity. If you are aware of any better Indian-made tyres feel free to suggest some, I bought an Indian-made bike after all - I'm not inherently averse to things made in India.

[@JeanLucMathay]

Nice bike! Personally I have mounted on mine Bridgestone Adventure Cross AX41, available in original size. I find the AX41s more versatile, better in the mud, and excellent on wet pavement. They are perhaps a little noisier than the K60. As for wear and tear, we'll see, but the power of the Classic doesn't hurt them too much 🤣

[@Coastriderscotland]

Hi Jean-Luc I think the easy power delivery of the 350 should see. An ok life span of the trail tyres 😁 cheers Bruce

[@keefwales]

Would of liked a better look at the tyres whilst parked up,just to show clearance and overall view,great video all the same.😊

[@markgb]

The rear is Tubed (TT) and the front is Tubeless (TL) how does that work with the TT wheels? did you use them with tubes (which I believe is not advised) or did you put the TL tyre on the TT wheel as-is?

[@Coastriderscotland]

Fitted tyres and no problems in nearly 7000 miles front tyre and 2nd rear tyre at 6000 miles
