Avon released this tyres in 2015 and there is no proper reviews even in motorcycle forums. Finally Chaparral Motorsports took the challenge. Thanks
I like it a lot better than the TrailRider... Go figure! That video should be finished up here within the week. Oh... You are welcome. It was fun... Thanks for watching! -- Kyle & the Chap Moto Team
i guess Im kind of off topic but does anybody know a good website to watch newly released tv shows online ?
@Finnley London I use flixzone. Just search on google for it =)
@Ronnie Sullivan yea, have been using flixzone for since april myself :D
@Ronnie Sullivan thank you, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D I really appreciate it!!
This was really good man, I really appreciate your empirical approach to a tyre test yet still being a real life test. Thank you, you've made it easier for me. All the best.
Glad you liked it!
Kyle is the most underrated motorcycle reviewer on the Internet. I've gotten to the point I only buy tires based on his recommendations for my bikes!
WOW that's awesome!!! Thanks.
I still have these on my 22 890. Definitely not a sand tire. Thank for all the amazingly detailed tire reviews Kyle!
Thanks for watching.
Just bought a pair of these this weekend thanks to your review. Can't wait to get them.Thanks!
Awesome, thanks for watching. Let us know what you think of them.
Love these tire tests, and by all means please keep doing more HOWEVER please do a video on your best-worst so far... a lot of us are out here putting off tire purchases waiting for the final word on how some of these stack up against each other. SPRING IS COMING and we can’t wait much longer! Help us out PLEASE!
Thank you for your feedback Nathan. GOT IT! We were waiting on the TKC 70 Rocks... (supposed to have been here a month ago)... but we will wait no longer. This week we will record our ADV Tire Shootout intro... and will then get the results tabulated. The main event video will be out in the following three weeks or so. Thanks for watching! -- Kyle & the Chap Moto Team
@@chaparralmotorsports would you say these are better in the twisties then the anakee adventure? I currently have the battleax a41's and really like their on road performance, off road they were lacking but I still finished a 140 mile big bear ADV ride in them. I'm looking for JUST a little more off road bias then the a41s
Very good report series about ADV tires ... more practical, objective and therefore better than all the Europeans do (and I am saying this being one) ...
This particular ATR is acc. to my experience the best tire for street and gravel (90/10 ... 80/20 category)
I finished now one front and 2 rear tires within 30,000km (about 20,000miles) on my V-Strom 650.
I need to say that the tarmac here in Thailand, where I live, is not very grippy and abrasive but my tires are worn from left to right shoulder so that there is constantly 2mm left when I change them.
I would like to confirm:
+ no teething nor "cupping" until the very end
+ stick like glue on tarmac until the very end
+ very good in rain (as I live in Thailand, I therefore can report what's up 😉)
+ very comfortable damping on bad roads and on gravel
+ very stabil at high speed
+ very silent
+ good in gravel
- rear tire a bit too soft compound (wear a bit too fast and get hurt in sharp edged gravel)
All in all I love this tire and it fits perfect to me, driving on good and bad tarmac and on gravel only.
The reason why this tire is not well known is because they do not spend so much money for marketing like Michelin, Dunlop, Pirelli, Bridgestone aso who really adopted things like e.g. 2CT+ from Avon. Let us see when the big players copy also the interlocking sipes ... 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks again for these reports, very enlightening ... 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for your feedback! It is nice to see that your results were the same as what I had experienced. One of my favorite street tires for sure!
When I see how good the tires gets you forward, these are better than you initially might think. Quite good for such a tread
Very good. Thanks for watching.
Thanks, this is a really comprehensive test. I have these tyres as original fit on my KTM 790 but have just about worn out the first set and am considering what to fit next. I'm in the UK, and in the part of the country where I am there are very few trails to fide, so rather than 90/10 I'm more likely to be 95% on street and occasional gravel tracks. From your test I'll stick with another set of Trailriders. Deeply envious of the terrain you have to ride in your area though.
Hello, thanks for watching our video. Glad you liked it. Take a look at our results video after we were done testing 20+ ADV tires. Pay attention to the 80/20 (street/offroad) results, you may find a tire may suit your needs. th-cam.com/video/gjtgLz1LjnE/w-d-xo.html
Great review and agree the Avons 53/54 TrailRiders are a great tire, i have covered about 3,000 miles on mine, mostly road and they still look brand new , never had one step out or feel slippery underneath. Great braking performance and they are super sticky when warmed up. I have had a few instances where come in a bit hot on a corner and they have stuck with the extra lean. Not sure i would be as comfortable with anything else - safe riding and great review
Right on! Thanks for sharing your experience. Ride safe.
I've been looking for a 160/60 rear "dual sport" tire for my KTM 690sm. This Avon seems like the only option and I was still on the fence. This review helped me to pull the trigger for a 53/54 set. Great review. Really appreciate the video.
Right on! We appreciate you watching our video. Let us know how you like that tire after you spend some time on it.
@@chaparralmotorsports I ended up getting just a rear from you guys via Ebay. 160/60r17. The front Shinko 705 has to much life left to toss. An AV53 will replace it when it finally dies. The Avon Trailrider is my new favorite tire. I will run this tire until Avon discontinues it. Can't believe how well it grabs on the street. Only had it on a few miles of maintained dirt roads so far and it does well. Great feedback makes it very controllable on loose surfaces. Working up to a COBDR trip on my supermoto adventure bike and this is the tire I will be running. Thanks again for the review.
Scuttlebutt says on lighter ADVs you have to drop the pressure to hook up better. Not sure how that would work with the soft sidewalls in rocks but it might be worth a try.
Yeah... soft sidewalls in the rocks on this tire would for sure lead to bent rims like we have seen from the Bridgestone AX41! oooopsie! -- Kyle & the Chap Moto Team
Looking at these for my CB500X once the stock Dunlop’s go. I’m a commuter that lives on a gravel road with weekend fire road trips.
Good choice!
I have Trailriders on my Royal Enfield Himalayan, and have been completely happy with them. Much better on the road than the stock tyres, Pirelli MT60s, and just as good on tracks.
Thanks for the tips!
@@chaparralmotorsports Thanks for the videos!
When is the trekrider review coming out? Its the one I've been waiting for and spring is closing in fast..😋😋😋
Well, just because you asked... I have Just turned it LIVE: th-cam.com/video/q1SaQv--RTQ/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the great and informative review. Wondering if you could comment on tire noise from them on the road? I'm running Anakee 3's on a 1200gs and they just howl.
Can't wait for the Trekrider review!
Friday at 6am the TrekRider video will be LIVE!

Great review &. I bought a pair for my Vstrom 1000
Awesome! Thank you for your support. I really like this tire.
Do these handle a lot better in twisties than a Dunlop TMM, which I currently have and like on my Vstrom 650?
Hello, take a look at this series we did a few years back. www.chapmoto.com/blog/motorcycle-gear-guides/adv-motorcycle-tires/
These came on my 790 Adventure S. On road they are excellent but on hard desert wash board roads they dance around and hunt at 32 psi and at 30mph. Will they get you there? yes, real well on pavement, yes on very dry, very hard and slick end of pavement washboard dirt roads but go slower than you normally would until you get used to them. They do hunt around. I have not had them off road proper in the desert yet. And I have not been in the rain. Be safe.
Thank you for your feedback Ron. It sounds like you and I have both had very similar results! Wasboard dirt and wet are the two terrains I have not yet tested in either. Thanks for watching! -- Kyle & the Chap Moto Team
Any chances to do a test of an Anlas Capra RD or R ?? not a lot of material and if.... only in turkish
Hello, sorry we do not carry that brand.
did you put on the bmw gs 1200? how is your impression?
Sorry we did not with these tires.
My first instinct is that skittishness in the sand is in part due to the quick steering in the sport bike like (25.9degree) rake angle
So what’s a the best road tyre with solid wet performance (I live in norway) if I’m not interested in off road performance as I have a second set of tyres. This is for a 1090R so need 90/90-21 and 150-70 18.
Hi James, unfortunately we can't really speak on that because out here in southern California we don't get a whole lot of rain and during our bug ADV Tire Shootout testing the little bit of sporadic rain we did get didn't account for enough time to thoroughly evaluate wet weather handling for all the tires.
Chaparral Motorsports yeah that’s understandable. Thanks for taking the time to test all these tyres and make the info available to us!! Wish I could order some Dunlop missions from you from here!!
Hey James, that's a bummer the tires aren't available. Maybe once all this covid stuff clears up Dunlop will bring them to you guys or we'll be able to ship them over there....we'll see I guess. Ride safe.
Chaparral Motorsports thanks, you too!
Best tire pressure for street on these tires??
Hello, follow the recommended PSI on the sidewall.
Guys this is my second video I've seen from you and the quality of your reviews are incredible, I wish you more subs!
This is my most favorite tire, last year I rode Moto Guzzi Stelvio down to Morocco and back, 12000 km trip, it survived scourging dessert roads, sand was doable and rocky climbs too. After that I rode another 3000km around my country and there is still pattern left, which is in my opinion amazing job on super heavy motorcycle like that.
Check out this thread here, 25000km tire test and comparison :) earth-roamers.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-new-avon-trailrider.html
Ondrej, thank you for the kind words. Wow, that's pretty impressive trip and testimonial on the TrailRiders. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the tire and thanks for watching our videos. Ride safe.
A bit of basic information please would be nice to have e.g road to off-road ratio for example -come on guys take your thumb out
Within the first 28 seconds of the video the presenter states that the Trail Rider is primarily a street tire that can be ridden offroad, (Avon calls it a 90/10 on road/off road). Then he immediately says the Trek Rider is a 50/50 tire.
I ride 90% street and can’t get 15,000 kms out of my Scorpions, will this tire fair better, and if not any suggestions?
Hello, in our testing we got slightly better mileage out of the Scorpions than the TrailRiders. When it came to mileage from an mostly street ridden dual sport tire, we really liked the results from the Michelin Anakee Adventure tires.
@@chaparralmotorsports thank you, appreciate the input and knowledge.
