Ay! Good to see you back man, I know exactly what you mean about....life.....it just be like that sometimes. Either way you came back with a banger video, looked amazing as always. Glad you are satisfied with your new tires, I must say Pirelli tyres are the best I have ever owned :)
The life of a motovlogger 😅 Hey bro, we should definitely collab whenever you visit Australia or if I come over that side. I 💯 vibe with your personality
Would love a followup especially on our WA pea gravel as im considering them for my new to me 990SM. Every time I find a nice lookout in the hills or down south its always gravel and wouldnt mind the odd blast down a fire road either!
I am actually interested to know your fair opinion.. I have a triumph tiger 1050 sport.. I am quite keen to see what is the performance of those tyres.. thank you for sharing 😊
They've been really good both on and off-road. However, I ride pretty aggressively (off camera 😅) and my rear one hasn't lasted as long as other riders have said theirs did. I'd still strongly recommend them.
Quick question, what size front is that? Just curious if it’s the 120/70 R17 ? Or another size ? I really like the look of yours so I’m just making sure before I buy. Thanks 🙏🏼
Just subscribed. This is the video I was looking for over the last week, glad it came through on my youtube suggestions page. Really nice photography and a nice easy going style. Why did you go with the narrower/shorter than stock (24.6 inch tall 6.4 wide) 150/60 rears (24.1 tall 5.9 wide) rather than the 170/60 size (25.0 tall 6.7 wide) which is slightly taller and wider? Unfortunately no 160 size in this tire model. Do you think there is room inside the swing arm for the 170's? Since you changed the tire size, any issues with traction control or abs or any warning lights? Any comments on handling on moderately fast twisty roads? Sorry about the questions, I'm in analysis paralysis. Keep it up.
Haha, all good...happy to help. I went with this size coz I didn't want to gamble with the possibility of rubbing against the chain and swingarm. Visually, it still looks beefy and the handling is super impressive even when doing tight corners on the road. I turned my ABS and TC permanently off and did a YT Short about it. So I can't comment on that. But all in all, I have zero buyers remorse
Going down to 150 from 160 didn't feel any different for me haha. A 160 STR would probably still fit but I was just trying to avoid the possibility of rubbing

Bro I need to see this off road! I have a KTM 1190 adventure and Ive been planning to down size.
Sure thing. I will be doing some off-road testing this weekend 👍🏽

Yes, the front is a 120/70 R17 and fits with plenty of clearance

Any thoughts or feedback on downsizing the rear tire ? Obviously due to size availability but wondering on your thoughts ?

Hi! Did you try them offroad?
Not yet, but I will this coming weekend
Come up with an update that would be great!
