One of the things I love about this channel is that you're not afraid to just reach a decisive conclusion. Even if I disagree with it, it's still super refreshing, and useful, to actually know where you stand. Far too many product reviews these days just end in "what's best... well that's just up to you!" which is so completely inane. We're looking to reviews because we can't afford the money and time to try every option out there. That's why we're here! We need informed opinions!

I've run the Dunlop Sportmax Mutant on a DRZ-400SM for years and it is amazing. It works in all conditions, even heavy rains. The grip is great, it is predictable and fairly durable. The rear won't last as long as the newer Mutant Ryan showed, but it does quite well. They're also cheaper than the new version. It has more square tread, like a flat track tire. That is probably where the name came from as it is a mix between a Supermoto and Flat Track tire for the road. If you have a light bike without ABS and traction control, the Sportmax Mutant might be a better option as the rear is designed to do the work. The new one relies on computers to keep the rear in check, so it might not be the greatest on an older bike.

@gorkzop Жыл бұрын

I've been looking for some time at the dunlop trailmax meridian. They are fairly close to the Mutant.. only that the rear stays a bit better in check. And it actually has sizes that fit my bike😂

@Yvolve Жыл бұрын

@@gorkzop The width is definitely an issue with the Sportmax and the Mutant, for a DRZ it is fine as you really don't want to go over 150 (for clearance). My guess is the original Sportmax Mutant doesn't work on heavy bikes and the Mutant was made to fill that gap. I haven't used the Trailmax yet, looks like a good tire. One of my main concerns is performance in the rain as I ride all year and we get a lot of heavy rains. I wonder how the Trailmax will fare. If they're available where I live, I will give them a try next time. The Trailmax Mission looks like a fun dual sport tire (it came up when looking for the Meridian). Quite blocky but not too extreme.

@digitalfrrreak Жыл бұрын

I've used Mutants too (the old version) until I discovered the Maxxis Presa M6118 & 9. Those were the real deal, even better than the Mutants. Sadly discontinued a few years ago, though. Moving away from the "rain" type, I found Mitas SportForce+ to be a wonderful and cheap tyre. Only used it on the rear (with a Mutant front), but it gave me a lot of confidence despite the race-y look, even on a somewhat light bike like the DRZ. Warms up better than a Mutant, sticks and hardly ever moves. Lasts quite a bit, too, surprisingly. Wide-ass tyre, though. I could pull off 160 on the Maxxis because they were more like 150s, but the Mitas is laaaarge - go 150 on the DRZ. Anyway, I'd have given it a second run with my eyes closed, but I decided to try Road5's next on the sheer amount of recs they got.

The Dunlop Mutants are EXACTLY as you described. I rode from Louisiana to Colorado and back with them on my 2018 Honda NC750X DCT. It was 100 degrees F on the stretch across Texas on the way up. The tires handled all of the 12,000 foot passes. And on the ride home, I was in a non-stop torrential downpour from Dallas to Lake Charles, Louisiana and these tires NEVER slipped or hydroplaned. They replaced Michelin Pilot Road 6 tires. I will never put another tire on my bike as long as these are in production. Great job, as usual.

@hoonsenior6963 Жыл бұрын

Ryan…this brought back fond memories…of our 1987 Toyota Van LE aka the geek mobile. We loved that thing even though it looked like a toaster. Four cylinder motor behind the front seats, five speed manual and a seating position that gave new meaning to cab forward. It never failed that when someone new was in the passenger seat their foot inevitably stomped the imaginary brake whenever parking lot maneuvering was required. The rear captain’s chairs were great because they swivelled all the way around to make an instant living/games room for four that you could enjoy on those rainy camping days when a fire wasn’t an option. Since this was a tire video I’ll end on the geek mobile’s Achilles heel…Traction…the thing must have had a 90/10 f/r weight distribution and even with good tires and lots of sandbags in the back a half inch of snow meant forward progress was debatable…and any ice on the road meant a doughnut was forthcoming. The kids even had a song they’d sing…”here we go round the dizzy machine…” Ok..maybe…MAYBE…they made the song up in an empty mall parking lot after a snowstorm…and maybe there was a Timmies run and hot chocolates involved…and maybe my wife was singing and giggling along with them while friction limits were explored. Whatever…I hope you’re still going strong wherever you are now Geek. You had character.

When the weather cooled down in the pacific north west and it started raining that was the single most terrifying piece of equipment I ever had.

The one tire type I miss, is the touring/sport mix, to be fitted on sportsbikes that aren't intended for track use, but still enjoy a good twisty road and nifty handling. While a regular road/touring tire is great for mileage and less than stellar weather conditions, they don't exactly complement a sportsbike's natural desire to lean over and shift direction at any speed. And while typical sport tires are great for just that, and offer confidence inspiring levels of grip when the pavement is hot enough to boil eggs, they tend to bring your bike in for a tire change at the shop roughly twice the pace your wallet is comfortable with. "Now listen up you picky lad" -you might say, "there is a segment called sport touring tires for just that purpose!", to which I agree, but I also don't particularly enjoy spending a good 50% more on a set of tires that try to have it both ways while not excelling at either one. So my question stands. Is there an actual sport touring tire that is affordable, offers 90-95% of the performance you realistically would enjoy on public roads, while not wearing itself to pieces after two trips around the block..

I don't have a motorcycle, so I don't need a motorcycle tire. Yet here I am , watching another great FortNine video by Ryan giving me all the info I need for replacement sets of tires for the various types of bikes that I don't own. However, they say you can't control what you dream. So if I happen to be shopping for new motorcycle tires in some random dream I end up having, it's good to know I'll be armed with the proper knowledge to make a good purchasing decision. Thanks Ryan and FortNine. I needed this. 🔥

Thanks for the video! A bit late, bought your road 6 gt's front and back, but I wouldn't change my mind after watching this anyway.

Great, As Always! I Laughed Out Loud At 5:30, For Example & I Don't Need A Camera Yet But I'll Be Looking At Your Insta360 When I Do. Thank You.

I took a chance on the Dunlop Mutants before F9 review. Not like me, but inflation. They are a great all around tire on a supermoto. Happy to see they made your latest tire review.

I am car guy, really a road racing car guy who, besides an assortment of 49cc scooters at race tracks has only ever ridden a Honda 100 that didn’t require use of the clutch to shift. Yet for some reason I can’t get enough of FortNine. Entertaining, educational, timely, very creative. What more could someone want? Good stuff!

Thanks for the info on the Q5 vs Q5S! I was thinking of a Q5 front and a Q5S rear. More piece of mind with the stickier tire on the front

Do I need tires? No. Do I even have a motorcycle at all right now? Also no. Did I watch and enjoy the entire video? Absolutely. Love you F9

Epic, right on time for me selling my motorcycle to my friend. Easy to show him what tires to get for cheap now!

Thank YOU! Great tire breakdown!! Thanks! I love my Pirellis, but when they are ready to retire (🤭) I'll keep this info in mind.

As always great video. I personally liked the static camera view in your previous video while you were explaining something on the board. Changing the angle every few seconds felt a little weird to me
