A quick summary of my experience of the MOTOZ TRACTIONATOR ENDURO IT rear, on my KTM 690 enduro R . IT meaning intermediate terrain

I put a Motoz Rallz on back of my 890R...............took it off and sold it quickly. Worthless and really irritating on even a short piece of paved road. Howling/vibrating/buzzing wandering here and there while stopping. KZfaq reviews said it was GREAT! No problem on road even though its a knobby. Beware of tire reviews. No knobby lasts on road unfortunately.

Thanks for this , I'll avoid those then . I'll keep track on how these new tyres last and how they perform while their wearing and share the info . Thanks for watching the channel 👍

I’ve had a 701 for around 15 months. Like you the tarmac is as little as possible and just to get to and from tracks. Changed the tck 80’s after 1500 km ish. Great on road terrible in mud ok in dry conditions. I changed to Michelin trackers €140 for a pair maybe €10 delivery. After the tck80’s they feel fine on slow tarmac (wear down fast on tarmac!) and really good on off road tracks. I did around 2500/3000 km on a set the back was probably done after 1500 km but as it was bone dry summer in France I got away with it for another 1500 km. I changed the front as well but only because it was going into winter - and they’re cheap €60. I’ve kept the front and will reverse it and use again in dryer summer conditions. I’ll probably just keep using Trackers I don’t have experience with anything else! I’m going to do a long ish TET trip probably mid October. Across Pyrenees into Spain and as far down as I can get before time runs out and I need to turn around and come home. I’m not sure but I’m hoping to go for two to three weeks. Maybe 3000 km. And I’m not sure what tires to use. I could reverse the front tracker in a garage somewhere on the trip and I’m sure that would make it. But I don’t thing the rear would make it all the way back. Any suggestions ?

From memory I struggled with the TKC 80 in the mud too, albeit on my 1090 which was much more of a lump. I've not tried the trackers but I know a couple f the lads have run them and pretty much same as you , good in the dirt but wear very quickly due to the road sections in between. I think the best lasting tyre I've used on the 690 would be the tractionator desert ht due to its bias towards harder terrain, I think mine did about 2000 miles some local and 1000 miles on the great western trail. I think but may be wrong that the adv spec stopped stocking them last time I looked

I might give them a try. Found them over here for €200 a pair which is €50 more that the trackers. But if I can get a whole trip out of them instead of trying to change the trackers on the trip that’s got to be worth it. Plus I guess other than the Pyrenees crossings the Spain sections should be dry hard tracks. So should correspond well. Thanks.

mc360 mid hard for me is a wicked tyre - i ride a 500 exc, get 3k out of it easy using it on road, lanes, rocks, gravel etc across n.wales and the peaks - wicked tyre still grips when worn - i am on my 3rd set now , i cant be arsed try something else as it does so well in all conditions - let's see how you find it

That's music to my ears to hear that 😀 , I'm pretty sure I run them on my old 300tpi and liked them, but that's going back a few years now , will keep an eye on this set and see how they get on 👍

Quite a few of the TRF lads I ride with use the 360s and rate them. I might try some Kendas next, seem to be good value. For value and general performance you can’t beat Trackers but I don’t think they are so good on wet rocks and roots which you probably get more of than me.

Heard quite a bit about the trackers, not tried them myself but have been told they don't last too well on the 690/701 but as I said in the vid , for local riding etc I'd still rather have good grip than have something that lasts 2000 miles but is rubbish riding in the mud locally . I don't know . What are the kenda's Mike, not heard much about those ?

I tried the Motoz Enduro ST, initially I didn't think they were too bad in the muddy winter conditions where I am. Noisy on the road but wasn't worried about that. Used them when I rode the James Higgs Trail (GWT) they weren't too good on wet rock didn't like in the dry but like all MotoZ tyres a doddle to change

I can imagine that must of been good grip while it lasted if they were softer again than mine. They looked such a nice chunky knobbly tyre I was hoping it was going to be the one 😂 and end of the search for tyre happiness but no it goes on. Gonna try these metzeler mc360 and see how they get on and last 👍

Okay thanks , I had the tkc 80 on my old old 1090 adv r and remember not being overly impressed with the grip in the mud so I changed them, but obviously, the 1090 is a lot bigger bike which may have affected the handling . Do you remember what sort of mileage you got out of them ?

TKC 80 are 💩 Motoz Desert HT front & rear work & last far better Motoz Rallz is the other choice they have on offer. Motoz also has Dualventure What other tyre company offers such a Good choice for all conditions of riding.

Thanks for the advice on these , I guess it's just a case of me trying them over time . May not be the last motoz I have but I wouldn't be rushing back to the enduro it, and from memory I wasn't too fussed on the tkc80 either .
