Opinion for pirelli trail 2 , i consider to put them in my versys.
@GoodWeatherRiderАй бұрын
I had one set of the Pirelli Scorpion Trail 2. It worked very well on the Versys , especially in the twisties. It's totally OK for riding on gravel but it's basically a street tire - the word "trail" in the name of the tire is some kind of misleading imho ;) I personally would take the Conti Trail Attack 3 over the Scorpion Trail 2. It's not that agile but a bit more stable when I remember correctly and the rear tire lasted around 1.000km longer. On the other hand, the Pirelli is a bit better pricewise. Tires are always a very subjective thing. If you want to try the Pirelli - go for it :)

Hi Monk, I'm currently using Continental TKC 70s - they work really good on tarmac and gravel for me, as I'm not riding extreme in any condition. But I also had a set of Michelin Road 6 a while ago. The MR6 is a fantastic road tire (better than the TKC70) and Gravel Roads shouldn't be a Problem, as long as you're not going too fast- especially around corners. Cheers

@@GoodWeatherRider Ok cool! I might consider those in the future. I was out of motorbiking for a long time and figured I better go all road for now. Looks like here in US they are called TKC 70 Rock. I had a terrible time on gravel with my Road 6's a while back but it was pretty fresh n chunky gravel. I'll give em another try someday :) Thanks so much for the info!

The TKC70 Rocks is a bit different, compared to the "normal" TKC 70. The front tire is the same but the rear tire of the rocks is a bit more offroad focused - with less expected mileage. If you just google "tkc70 vs tkc70 rocks" you can see the difference. But I'm not sure about the availability in the US. However, have a great ride and don't ride too fast on gravel :-)

@@GoodWeatherRider Great info! It would be great to find a tire as "Versatile" as you know who... I still haven't really tried out the long travel suspension. One of my favorite things to do on a KLR 650 was to aim for potholes...thats 7.8 in travel vs the versys at nearly 6 in. I think ill get braver as it gets closer to being paid for hah
