Thanks for your comment.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment, mate! 🙏

Welcome aboard! Thanks

@OB Aside from longevity, how does it compare to the Adventure, on/off road? Thanks

Mate!!! yes! Great event! culminated with snowstorm ! haha yeah the 1190 is bulletproof!

They look like that! Let us know!!

Damn! You like to twist that throttle hey!! If you are that hard with your right wrist i suggest you also try the bridgestone battlas ax41 adventure. Amazing offroad but a bit noisy on tarmac. You ll make it to 10000km. Otherwise the MotoZ tractionator should do for you but don't expect too much grip.

Thank you! fully loaded all the times...long days on the road...yes...these poor tyres have seen some rough days. Thanks for watching!

Great feedback! thanks !! The Mitas are doing a great job with the E07 in my opinion. for long distance travels.

I just fitted a set to my Tenere 700, and the bike is horrible offroad, bouncing and chattering front and rear as if I had overinflated them massively. Trying to dial it out with the suspension settings but not having much success. Shocked at what a tranformation (negatively) these tyres have caused.

@@Hutchie2112 I can’t understand why they are so popular? Now that I’ve had them for about 13k Km, they still appear to have plenty of tread but damn they sure are slippery now. Not only do I deal with bouncy offroad, I need to contend with rear wheel slides in the subtle damp of the morning commute!

@@jaywhoisit4863 You know, I thought it was just me being hyper sensitive to tyres, because I am feeling the rear wheel slide out, especially at low speed , e.g. taking a right hand junction, move off, rear wheel slips to the side slightly. People are raving about them, and I feel like I have broken my bike by fitting them. Thanks Jay, I genuinely thought it must be me, because you never hear this side of these tyres, eh.

@@Hutchie2112 and your ride doesn’t have electronic aids for rear wheel slip. It gets worse with tire wear. I’ve got to fiddle with my traction control depending on the time of day, which is annoying. Mornings are cool and slightly damp, afternoons are scorching hot and bone dry. But really the surface doesn’t change that much that I should have to preplan computer slip settings. No other tire required this fiddling unless it was pissing rain or I was actually offroad. Anyhow, you’ll have this tire for 20k Km. Best of luck!

hey mate. i made a full vid about the tyres. check it out! in general i would go for the tkc

@@PaoloCattaneo ok bro, ill go watch it now, thanks.

Hello. At the moment i haven't tried anything too new. I think the tkc 70 rocks look quite good for what you look for. Still pretty good on tarmac but a bit of knob at the back for extra traction.

I will for sure!! thanks a lot mate!! stay safe until then!

Hello. I believe the shinko 705 are some of the best tyres you can find for wet and cold. Longevity is also great on those. Alternatively i would go for the avon trailmaster v54. Very soft compound and average durability. Anlas is the only brand that makes specific tyres for cold temps and rain. Check their website for more info as i don't recall the specific name and model of their winter tyre.

@@PaoloCattaneo thank you for your help

thanks for the feedback mate! I'm sorry to hear about your experience with the 705. for some odd reasons I found them absolutely great. I had maybe 3 set of those and they all behaved splendidly. even on snow! I mean, this could also be a coincidence too, but I think it's a good tyre for the price in any case. I still have to try the Motoz. I'll do it as soon as I land in australia for sure!

@@PaoloCattaneo if you come to Australia look 👀 me up I’m in some of the best riding in Aussie. Will show you some good rides .

@@PaoloCattaneo Sorry for Late reply, I do like 👍 your real world 🌎 reviews. As said by below Aussie below, if you come to Australia 🇦🇺 look me up I live in Wodonga ( gateway to some of the best riding in Australia )

Hello, I believe Mitas only had the E07 for some times (I had the dakar version) on 150/70 size. And then they made the E07+ now for bigger bikes (170/60 sizes) which you can get the Dakar as well (20% more longevity "declared").

@@PaoloCattaneo ok, do you rated 'old' E07. Thanks!

I've a Guzzi Stelvio currently on E07+ and a KLR650 currently on K60's, the location is Ontario, Canada. I don't ride much below 7 deg. C. The E07+ is excellent on paved surfaces and firm surfaces such as compacted gravel roads but not quite as good as the E07 on loose slippery surfaces. Both are 50/50 with the E07 seeming to have a slight bias towards more slippery off road surfaces and the E07+ seeming to have a slight bias towards more compacted and paved surfaces. For me these kinds of tire are much more useful than a 70/30 or 80/20.

Hey, a pleasure to help! So, i assume you ride mostly tarmac, hence for such wet and cold conditions i would recommend a soft compound and a 70-30/90-10 tyre. I found the tkc70 being a really good tyre in all situations. Of course any tyre would loose grip on wet but there are specific companies that produce products designed for cold temps. I rode with the avon trail master that came with the 890 adv and they were really soft and good for low temp. The bridgestone ax41 street are really good too, and a bit harder than the avon. Otherwise check the anlas which is the only company that has "winter tyres". I never tried those except the capra X (which were awesome) but i m sure they ll be great to ride up there. Cheers

Will do!

Mate, i'm 6.3. The bike is not too small but it's fine. unfortunately except the 1290 we are a bit too big for any other bikes! I feel comfortable with this 890 now, having the preload setting to maximum and the powerpart seat, It reaches 870mm, which is pretty much the same height of the 1190. The perks of being slightly "small" for big guys like us, is that it becomes suuuuper easy to handle in offroad. while instead you have to manhandle the 1190-1290 all the times, especially when changing direction or in quick S turns. The 890 has averagely 30kg less to carry than the bigger sister. And it shows. the 1290 is a totally different beast.

bro iam 6.5 and weigh around 120kilos and i have the ktm super adventure 1290S and iam loving it. its the best bike i have owned and my future bike will be the new 2025 1290 r. thats how much iam in love with the bike😂 its the perfect bike for taller people that want comfort, touring and a bike that will make you wheelie in first 4 gears. Very important suggestion would be, get amazing tires. ktm super adventure is a beast and with oem tires or bad ones, shit will turn wrong quickly 😎😂

I ve been testing 2 types of Bridgestone, the karoo4 and the pirelly scorpion rally str. definitely the pirelly are the winners overall

I think that if you mostly do tarmac, I would go for the Dunlop. Otherwise the TKC rocks are a better alternative, especially for offroading.

I think tires are important, but not as important as the rider.. A good rider can ride on any tire and make it work and why I chose the heidenau K60 scout for my adventure bike, as they have one of the longest lasting treads and is good on road and off road. I also chose the cold compound version to help in wetter and colder weather, slightly less lifespan, but remarkably better in cold and rain conditions..

@@MrWizardofozzz Another way to look at it is that all riders reach the tyres limits when off road (even gentle riding involves a little sliding) but only the best get near it when on road. So think it best to bias more towards off road

I contacted some guys on insta called @decalmoto . they are based in Bologna italy, but they ship worldwide. there are several companies that offer this service. the stickers were good quality.

Thanks, I check them out

Thanks!

Ciao!!! Guarda ho appena finito di distruggere letteralmente (10000km) un set di bridgestone battlax ax41 stradali. Veramente ottime. Sono rimasto colpito. Se riesci a trovarle te le consiglio altamente.

@@PaoloCattaneo grazie per la tua risposta. Alla fine ho optato per le Tkc 70. Lo so, sono un po'più Off Road, ma ho deciso di togliermi qualche sfizio. Ti farò sapere ✌️

I m not quite sure how well the tkc70 rock front performs but i m pretty sure it s probably the best option for you. The michelin are really a 90-10 and the shinko, unless you get them as bargain, probably a tad too soft. I would go for the tkc if i were you

@@PaoloCattaneo TKC 70 Rocks front does not exist.

@@impact0r that's right. it's just the TKC 70 again. Hopefully it will come out soon.

@@PaoloCattaneo As far as I know it won't come out. Continental's position is there's no need. Those who go more off-road, should pair TKC70Rocks with TKC80, and those who go more on-road, should pair it with TKC70.

Hello mate! Yeah the pirelli STR rally are quite good. I was impressed how well they performed on my 890, even on muddy stuff. I believe you can stretch them around 8-10000 km riding in summer and not fully loaded. Obviously it will depend on how hard you will be on the throttle as well. Greek hot tarmac can get quite hot in summer! Have fun

@@PaoloCattaneo thanks mate! Cheers

Yes! Those last forever!! Keep going!

@@PaoloCattaneo I just retired them at 12,800 with some tread remaining. Replaced with mitas e08, I expect I'll be old and grey before I need to replace them!

Glad you enjoyed it

For some reasons i had a totally different experience with the mt60. Maybe it was the greek asphalt but i found those quite hard when cold. They need to warm up a bit to gain grip. Completely rubbish on wet surfaces though. But thanks for the feedback, mate! One opinion is never good enough. Cheers

@@PaoloCattaneo :)

I'm sorry but they are just horrible... and certainly can't be compared to street tires, especially the Road 5! I remember when they were fitted on stock KTM like the 640 and journalists would just scream at the poor performance, on any terrain!

Wow, thanks

Operated by goodyear usa yes...but en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunlop_Tyres

some of the best corners I've taken with the TKC70. Otherwise the Shinko 705 were really good too. If you go on tarmac only, I would go for the Pirelli Diablo Rosso II. quite good imo

@@PaoloCattaneo i live at the bottom of two windy hills but also have a lot of desert dirt roads lol. i've got it down to tkc70 or scorpion rally str's now ...

@@prestonm.4874 tkc all my life

196000 km which are 122k miles roughly

Haven't tried the Rally yet. I heard that the scorpion rally are a totally different game (better) compared to the MT60. I really hope so!

I love them, very good on all terrains and weather conditions and not noisy. I have a Varadero, I use it 80 % onroad and 20% offroad. They are now with 8000kms, I think they'll do 3000 or more. Mine are the Scorpion Rally STR.

@@brunogp8269 oh I'm looking for tires on my Varadero too. Good to hear you like them. I ride quite hard on road (French alps) but I'd like the occasional light off road trip. I've heard nive things on the Karoo Street as well! I wouldn't mind not doing over 8000kms on a set, I'm used to wearing down tires faster...

Mitas are good! There are some new models out which are more performance oriented. keen to try some of those.

E07+ was all i could get when i replaced my first set of E07. Longevity was poor for the + version in comparison to the original.
