This is the best tire review I have ever seen. Most tire reviews are not helpful at all because they are vague, completely lacking in all the specifics I want. Yours was full of specific, detailed information: 1. Detailed pics of each tire's tread, new and worn. 2. Detailed pics of the knobs with comparison of specific knob design and purpose. 3. Comparison measurement of space between knobs, which allows me to compare the tires you're reviewing as well as compare them to tires I already own. 4. Discussion of your personal experience running the tires.
Thanks for the education on the Rally . MOTOZ 75/25 for me. Spend majority of my time on gravel road/ fire roads with some asphalt commute tossed in! Looking forward to your review in a few months. Thanks again
Thanks for watching Mike. Thus far I really like them. The super knobby front with a longevity tire in the rear. Couple hundred tires on them now... and they feel good. I need to get them in to the challenging stuff to really see how they differentiate from the Desert H/T and the Adventure Tires. - Kyle
I have a 2016 Husqvarna 701 Enduro and have beaten the snot out of the Desert H/T - all while riding Baja, MX. They work very well in the Baja conditions. On a recent 600 mile loop, we made a last-minute decision and had to make up for some time which put us on the pavement for about four hours straight. They hum like a swarm of bees but gave me confidence while riding like a wild jackal through the twisties on the pavement. Just ordered the Rallz and headed to Baja on another multi-day loop. We plan on covering more ground than usual via pavement which is why I opted for the Rallz this trip. Will report back. By the way, I don’t know how these guys all get such high mileage from these tires. My rear tires are smoked at 1,000 miles easily. Just went through the Goldentyre GT723 rear (awesome tire!) in just over 850 miles. The 701 is also a rocket and tends to chew up tires given the fact the rear wheel is always spinning....and throwing baseball sized rocks at my buddies. Weapon of mass destruction I call it
Nice Chris! Thanks for the feedback. Ha! Ha! Your description of the Desert H/T on pavement at speed cracks me up, but is so true! The RallZ is super quiet as compared, you will like them... A LOT. Have a great trip! -- Kyle & the Chap Moto Team
Desert H/T are sooo good under braking, especially on loose rocks where they are made to live. They hold a line so well on baby heads and other challenging rocky terrain.
Excellent tire review!! The first hand experience with each really adds to the Validity of the review, and not just a read from the brochures kinda video
@@chaparralmotorsports I've been running the Desert H/T on my 690. Though it has good straight line hookup, when you tip it over a little on gravel tracks it feels pretty 'skaty' i.e. loses its bite. I put this Jekyll and Hyde character down to the close-ish spacing of the knobs on the shoulder of the tire. I was hoping the RallZ might be grippier on edge on loose surfaces than the Desert H/T, but from your review (and the principles you talk about), it seems like it won't?
I totally recommend the Adventure Tires. Check out this Rallz review: th-cam.com/video/mA7e5BAm6CQ/w-d-xo.html I personally think the RallZ tire and the Adventure Tire perform very similarly. The GPS wore like IRON but I like the more aggressive off road traction of the Adventure Tire. If I were you... I'd go with the Adventure. My 2 cents... - Kyle
Chaparral Motorsports ...appreciate the input, thanks. I plan to put Adventure Mk1 on the front & Adventure on the rear. Unless it’s very poor on asphalt I’ll stay with it. I know some people put GPS rear, Adventure front, but I’m happy to start with a more aggressive tire.
@@ronanrogers4127 Yes Sir! I did just that, GPS Rear and Adv Front, but went back to the Adv Rear for more off-road (mud / snow) traction. They handle great on the pavement and if you have the same experience I did, you will love them. - Kyle

Best tire review on You Tube !

If Kyle is reading this I would love to know if the KTM 950 feels lighter on the dirt than the 1190 too!
Great inquiry. The MT21 was my go-to tire for many many years on my 950 Super Enduro. The MT21 is a similar tire to this Rallz tire... much more so than the Adventure version. It is very similar, but feels like it has more deep corner grip due to the offset lugs. I really need to ride an MT21 again to compare. On my list... Thanks for watching! - Kyle
@@chaparralmotorsports Sorry just to clarify, are you saying the combo would need to be Rally tire front and Adventure rear? How does the 950 compare to the 1190? Does it feel more wieldy and lighter?
@@Britishshooter Having ridden the ADV rear and Rallz rear on multiple machines, I feel the rears are really close. The fronts are VERY different. The Rallz is much more dirt inspiring, especially in the gravel /soft stuff. The 1190 Adv R is an amazing machine... but the 950se is my all time favorite bike. The 950se is just an oversized dirt bike. It can go nearly any place a 450 to 700 cc bike can go with not much more "rider input." The 1190 Adv R is super capable... but it does off road more like a Big BMW R1200 / R1250 then a smaller dirt bike, like the 950se feels. Different machines... thus the reason both are in the stable. Hope this clear as mud answer helps.... - Kyle
Just got out on the new Motoz Rallyz on my 1190R, I am beyond impressed with these new tires. I put them through high speed highways, wet twisties, sharp rock FSR's, snow, ice and deep mud and they performed flawlessly. The most amazing part of these new tires is how little noise they produce on the highway. Motoz has knocked it out of the park with the Rallyz, can't wait until I get back out there and rip them up.

Kyle, Great tire review. I ordered a set of RallyZ for my 790R from Chaparral. Put a few miles on them in a deep sand wash and they performed very well. Will be putting them to the test on the CABDR next week.

@@manybikes Sorry about not getting back to you. Didn't shoot any video and only a few photos. Had a great time on the CABDR even though we couldn't get over a couple of the high passes up north because of snow and ice. Blew the seal on my rear shock in the middle of the Mohave desert. Made it to Big Pine for repairs. Luckily my dealer went to bat for me with KTM and got me a replacement shock in a couple of days. Now almost a year later, blew the seal on the replacement shock again. KTM agreed to repair it even though the bike was out of warranty.
@@lbever454 Well, that sounds like an adventure! Good on KTM for replacing the shocks for you... Bad on them that they keep blowing! That is a bummer! Happy Trails Larry!

Thank you Kyle for this video! Right now I have a set of Pirelli Scorpion Rally (non-STR) on my Africa Twin. While they work excellent in the sand and especially the front tire is fantastic, they are way to loud for my taste on pavement which can get a bit annoying after a while. I thought about the Desert HT tires, but the Rallz looks like it would be the better match for these kind of bikes. I live in Las Vegas and are still searching for the prefect adventure bike unicorn tire which makes it possible to ride the heavy big bikes in the sand dunes but is not super annoying on pavement as well. Guess I should give this one a try. Or do you think that the Desert HT would be more what I am looking for?
Thanks for this message SWEGOTECH . The Motoz Adventure or Rallz tire has turned out to be the unicorn tire for me. They are basically the same tire... with slightly different knobs and rubber compound. The Adventure tire seems to "wear better" as far as mileage goes thus far. Check out this video on my personal channel, making my own trails up near your house: th-cam.com/video/r-VjXyd0qAY/w-d-xo.html The Rallz tire performed AMAZINGLY. The original Adventure front tire is still my favorite tire due to it's super quiet street manners. Let's meet half way and ride... there is so much amazing terrain between Vegas and the Inland Empire. - Kyle
@@chaparralmotorsports thank you Kyle for the info! Very cool video :-) Yes it would be awesome to ride together, I will send you a friend request on Facebook now, then it is easier to stay in contact.
Thank you for your inquiry Charles. Many of the bikes that run these tires have tubeless rims, so a plug is all that is needed. For those running tube type tires, a Motion Pro BeadPro is a super helpful tool. Now, once the tires have been run for a bit, the sidewalls do become a little more pliable... but tools still make a huge difference. Making sure the opposite side bead is in the dropcenter of the wheel is key too... A couple on trail or in garage changes and most riders will gain confidence and efficiency. Thanks for watching! -- Kyle & the Chap Moto Team
Yes Sir! They do make great tires. I ran the GPS and liked it a lot better than the Heidenau K60 Scout. Same type of longevity with better traction. - Kyle & the Chap Moto Team
Hi I run the GPS on my triumph Tiger XCA, I believe that the GPS is a great combination both front and rear for us who commute more and still want to do of road on formed dirt roads, with the TC Off road engaged the rear tire grips really well, some have commented without the TC the rear tends to spin too much on the bigger bikes due to the center strip. My mate rode my XCA and was also impressed with the way the GPS front felt on the dirt in comparison to a Pirelli MT21 on his Tiger.
Hey Kyle. The rally tyres seem to have possibly been superseded… kind of hard to keep up so do you have similar video illustrating current range these type of tyres. Problem I have is sourcing a 19 inch front rally with the 110/80 profile. Currently run the 120/70 rally on gs12oo (‘13) but wanting the narrow tyre.
Hey thanks for watching. Kyle is no longer with the company, but please give us a call and a representative can make some suggestions for you. (800) 841-2960.
Awesome review, probably best i have seen. Just been through my first set of Tractionator Adventure with Adventure 2 on the front on a KTM 690. Think they've done about 7000kms with mostly Central Australia Outback type terrain, maybe 2000 kms of tar overall. Just about to do another 7000 km trip up through similar area but more deep sand off track focus using the new RallZ . Think they will be even better just dont know how much will be left in comparison.
Thank you for your message Rick. We are happy to hear that the Adventure tire has served you well. I found the RallZ to wear a little quicker than the Adventure tire but did feel it worked a little better in the soft sand / mud ad the lugs are a little bit more spread out. GREAT tire for sure! -- Kyle & the Chap Moto Team
Hi Rick, how did you go with the Rallz? I also have a 690 and live in Aus. I tend to do lots of dirt and gravel roads with the odd single track thrown in so I'm trying to work out what would be best. Adv or Rallz maybe a combo of both....
James R mate the Rallz were awesome. 5500 km up to Central Aus 80% dirt. didn’t notice much difference in wear to Adv however handled so well off road. Particularly on the front through Flinders off road. I’ve just put another set Rallz front and back.
@@rickatkins5392 thanks mate, I'm looking at other options for the front but you sounds very happy with it so I will see. Would love to do the flinders ranges one day
@Rick Atkins im just about to place an order. Did you get both front and rear as tubed tyres? Someone said to me to get a tubeless front as it will fit and is less likey to get a puncture... Im assuming it would br alot heavyier though so im not sure if thats a good thing.
Thanks for the heads up on mileage on,those. Ill save my money and stick with my 10,000 mile, $50 kenda k270....10,000 miles every single time....could go to 11,000 miles, but I swap,tires out before they hit the rub strips.
Different strokes for different folks. I rode the K270 and it was sketchy at high speed street! What are you riding to get 11k out of the K270??? Thanks for watching! - Kyle
@@chaparralmotorsports I ride a very loaded down DRZ400. 39mm carb. About 75 pavement used. Some,rides with over 100 lbs of gear on board. 10,000 miles both sets I used. Just put on 3rd one. Never let me down. But yes, the front, now,we are,talking different. High speed corners gives out on side lugs. This is the reason you mix it,up. Use the Shinko front that looks almost the same...cant remember for sure,but think its a shinko,244. But much better side,grip on curvy pavement.
Great question Blase. I have used the Desert HT on my DRZ400, 450exc as well as my 950 Super Enduro. The Desert HT will be the most aggressive / longest lasting knobby DOT tire for your little bike. The RallZ tire will work... it will roll super smooth and last FOREVER on your light bike... but will be much heavier than the HT. There are trade-offs, but I personally would run the Desert HT. -- Kyle & the Chap Moto Team
Chaparral Motorsports, I’ve seen a chart where Desert H/T is in the sub-optimal range in terms of rolling on tarmac. What’s your experience? I have tarmac sections very often between off-road sections. But I really prefer good traction on dirt.
I have an odd off road set-up. Which of the Motoz 21" front tires has the widest tread circumstance, the outside of knob on one side to the outside of the knob on the other side. I am running a wider rim than normal.
I watched and loved all your videos, I have 2017 R1200GSA, which am going to mount a set of motoz tractionator adventure for it, but do you think is it better to have pirelli scorpion rally for front and motoz tractionator adv rear, am looking for stability in road and dune sand riding too here in Qatar, I will really appreciate your advice. And thank you for sharing all these good information
We haven't tried that combination but there is definitely room for improvement for the front Tractionator and swapping it out for a Scorpion Rally could be a solution. Let us know how you like it. Thanks for watching.
@@chaparralmotorsports Thank you so much Kyle for your fast reply. I reviewed your videos many times, because am little worry about about Motoz T ADV front, So now I decided to go for Motoz RallyZ front and Motoz T ADV rear. I have a good feeling that will be better combo to try, especially for deep sand and reasonable on tarmac too. Thank you and please keep up the good informative videos.
Would you choose the anakee wild over this for 60/40 riding? I'm used to sport bikes I'm concerned about corner speed on this since they're not radial tires. My off-road riding will be mostly svra parks maybe one or two bdr adventure a year.
looking into buying a 2021 yamaha tenere 700 and would like to have a set of these tires ready to go , how can i find out rim size or proper tire size for this bike ?? looking to order the tractionator front and rear !!
Hello Jeff, the Tenere 700 comes with a 90/90-21 front and 150/70-18 rear. Here is the front Tractionator Rallz on our website: www.chapmoto.com/motoz-tractionator-rallz-tube-type-front-tire.html The Rallz isn't offered in a 150/70-18 but is available in a 140/80-18 www.chapmoto.com/motoz-tractionator-rallz-tube-type-rear-tire.html

I have run two sets now. One about 70% on road for the commute and the other 30% playing hard off road and that set I got 5K miles. The second set was nearly all off road mostly desert and jagged rocks. That set got just over 4k miles. Could have gone longer on the street... but the off-road life was spent. -- Kyle & the Chap Moto Team
Thank you for your inquiry BullBars1. No, these Motoz RallZ tires are made to fit dirt oriented wheel sizes. Your SM being outfitted with 17" wheels front and rear will have a tough time finding tires to fit that are this aggressive. The TKC80 is made in your wheel sizes as is the Avon Trekrider and Trailrider tires. -- Kyle & the Chap Moto Team
This was a really excellent video except when you refer to the tires, you frequently said "this one", or "that one". It was really hard to follow since you are reviewing so many tires at the same time. Again, great job and I am ordering tires tonight…

Thank you Kyle for this video!
Right now I have a set of Pirelli Scorpion Rally (non-STR) on my Africa Twin. While they work excellent in the sand and especially the front tire is fantastic, they are way to loud for my taste on pavement which can get a bit annoying after a while. I thought about the Desert HT tires, but the Rallz looks like it would be the better match for these kind of bikes.
I live in Las Vegas and are still searching for the prefect adventure bike unicorn tire which makes it possible to ride the heavy big bikes in the sand dunes but is not super annoying on pavement as well. Guess I should give this one a try. Or do you think that the Desert HT would be more what I am looking for?
Thanks for this message SWEGOTECH
. The Motoz Adventure or Rallz tire has turned out to be the unicorn tire for me. They are basically the same tire... with slightly different knobs and rubber compound. The Adventure tire seems to "wear better" as far as mileage goes thus far. Check out this video on my personal channel, making my own trails up near your house: th-cam.com/video/r-VjXyd0qAY/w-d-xo.html The Rallz tire performed AMAZINGLY. The original Adventure front tire is still my favorite tire due to it's super quiet street manners. Let's meet half way and ride... there is so much amazing terrain between Vegas and the Inland Empire. - Kyle
@@chaparralmotorsports thank you Kyle for the info! Very cool video :-)
Yes it would be awesome to ride together, I will send you a friend request on Facebook now, then it is easier to stay in contact.
Sounds great. I've got a vlog style Motoz Rallz tire video coming out shortly. Stay tuned. - Kyle
Great review, what about field repairs given the super hard sidewall. Any tips or insights same problem with k60 and mitas I would think.
Thank you for your inquiry Charles. Many of the bikes that run these tires have tubeless rims, so a plug is all that is needed. For those running tube type tires, a Motion Pro BeadPro is a super helpful tool. Now, once the tires have been run for a bit, the sidewalls do become a little more pliable... but tools still make a huge difference. Making sure the opposite side bead is in the dropcenter of the wheel is key too... A couple on trail or in garage changes and most riders will gain confidence and efficiency. Thanks for watching! -- Kyle & the Chap Moto Team
Nice thorough video
Thanks for watching Dixon!
Excellent comparison. Only missing the Tractionator GPS. Although it is a 50/50 tire.
Thanks for the great video
Yes Sir! They do make great tires. I ran the GPS and liked it a lot better than the Heidenau K60 Scout. Same type of longevity with better traction. - Kyle & the Chap Moto Team
Hi I run the GPS on my triumph Tiger XCA, I believe that the GPS is a great combination both front and rear for us who commute more and still want to do of road on formed dirt roads, with the TC Off road engaged the rear tire grips really well, some have commented without the TC the rear tends to spin too much on the bigger bikes due to the center strip.
My mate rode my XCA and was also impressed with the way the GPS front felt on the dirt in comparison to a Pirelli MT21 on his Tiger.
This video is extremely helpful. Thanks!
No problem! Check out the 2k mile review: th-cam.com/video/XSwaT1vawoo/w-d-xo.html - Kyle
My pleasure! Here is a new one: th-cam.com/video/rVnT0dl04UA/w-d-xo.html
What size do I need for an Xr650r? In the RallZ and Adventure tires
Hey Kyle. The rally tyres seem to have possibly been superseded… kind of hard to keep up so do you have similar video illustrating current range these type of tyres. Problem I have is sourcing a 19 inch front rally with the 110/80 profile. Currently run the 120/70 rally on gs12oo (‘13) but wanting the narrow tyre.
Hey thanks for watching. Kyle is no longer with the company, but please give us a call and a representative can make some suggestions for you. (800) 841-2960.
Awesome review, probably best i have seen. Just been through my first set of Tractionator Adventure with Adventure 2 on the front on a KTM 690. Think they've done about 7000kms with mostly Central Australia Outback type terrain, maybe 2000 kms of tar overall. Just about to do another 7000 km trip up through similar area but more deep sand off track focus using the new RallZ . Think they will be even better just dont know how much will be left in comparison.
Thank you for your message Rick. We are happy to hear that the Adventure tire has served you well. I found the RallZ to wear a little quicker than the Adventure tire but did feel it worked a little better in the soft sand / mud ad the lugs are a little bit more spread out. GREAT tire for sure! -- Kyle & the Chap Moto Team
Hi Rick, how did you go with the Rallz?
I also have a 690 and live in Aus. I tend to do lots of dirt and gravel roads with the odd single track thrown in so I'm trying to work out what would be best. Adv or Rallz maybe a combo of both....
James R mate the Rallz were awesome. 5500 km up to Central Aus 80% dirt. didn’t notice much difference in wear to Adv however handled so well off road. Particularly on the front through Flinders off road. I’ve just put another set Rallz front and back.
@@rickatkins5392 thanks mate, I'm looking at other options for the front but you sounds very happy with it so I will see. Would love to do the flinders ranges one day
@Rick Atkins im just about to place an order. Did you get both front and rear as tubed tyres? Someone said to me to get a tubeless front as it will fit and is less likey to get a puncture... Im assuming it would br alot heavyier though so im not sure if thats a good thing.
Thanks for the heads up on mileage on,those. Ill save my money and stick with my 10,000 mile, $50 kenda k270....10,000 miles every single time....could go to 11,000 miles, but I swap,tires out before they hit the rub strips.
Different strokes for different folks. I rode the K270 and it was sketchy at high speed street! What are you riding to get 11k out of the K270??? Thanks for watching! - Kyle
@@chaparralmotorsports I ride a very loaded down DRZ400. 39mm carb. About 75 pavement used. Some,rides with over 100 lbs of gear on board. 10,000 miles both sets I used. Just put on 3rd one. Never let me down. But yes, the front, now,we are,talking different. High speed corners gives out on side lugs. This is the reason you mix it,up. Use the Shinko front that looks almost the same...cant remember for sure,but think its a shinko,244. But much better side,grip on curvy pavement.
What do you think, Desert HT or RallZ could better onto a 130 kg dirtbike using as trail bike?
Great question Blase. I have used the Desert HT on my DRZ400, 450exc as well as my 950 Super Enduro. The Desert HT will be the most aggressive / longest lasting knobby DOT tire for your little bike. The RallZ tire will work... it will roll super smooth and last FOREVER on your light bike... but will be much heavier than the HT. There are trade-offs, but I personally would run the Desert HT. -- Kyle & the Chap Moto Team
Chaparral Motorsports, I’ve seen a chart where Desert H/T is in the sub-optimal range in terms of rolling on tarmac. What’s your experience? I have tarmac sections very often between off-road sections. But I really prefer good traction on dirt.
I have an odd off road set-up.
Which of the Motoz 21" front tires has the widest tread circumstance, the outside of knob on one side to the outside of the knob on the other side. I am running a wider rim than normal.
Sorry not sure.
I watched and loved all your videos, I have 2017 R1200GSA, which am going to mount a set of motoz tractionator adventure for it, but do you think is it better to have pirelli scorpion rally for front and motoz tractionator adv rear, am looking for stability in road and dune sand riding too here in Qatar, I will really appreciate your advice. And thank you for sharing all these good information
We haven't tried that combination but there is definitely room for improvement for the front Tractionator and swapping it out for a Scorpion Rally could be a solution. Let us know how you like it. Thanks for watching.
@@chaparralmotorsports Thank you so much Kyle for your fast reply. I reviewed your videos many times, because am little worry about about Motoz T ADV front, So now I decided to go for Motoz RallyZ front and Motoz T ADV rear. I have a good feeling that will be better combo to try, especially for deep sand and reasonable on tarmac too. Thank you and please keep up the good informative videos.
Ordered already and from Chaparral Motorsports!!
Would you choose the anakee wild over this for 60/40 riding? I'm used to sport bikes I'm concerned about corner speed on this since they're not radial tires. My off-road riding will be mostly svra parks maybe one or two bdr adventure a year.
Hello, we would probably lean more towards the Anakee Wild for what you're describing.
looking into buying a 2021 yamaha tenere 700 and would like to have a set of these tires ready to go , how can i find out rim size or proper tire size for this bike ?? looking to order the tractionator front and rear !!
Hello Jeff, the Tenere 700 comes with a 90/90-21 front and 150/70-18 rear.
Here is the front Tractionator Rallz on our website: www.chapmoto.com/motoz-tractionator-rallz-tube-type-front-tire.html
The Rallz isn't offered in a 150/70-18 but is available in a 140/80-18

Bonjour et merci pour cette vidéo...
(Do you know a possibility, a Site, thanks to which it would be possible to translate your comments and opinions into French?)
Pour ma part sur ma KTM 1290 SAS, j'ai monté deux pneus MotoZ :
MotoZ Tractionator RallZ - Tubeless TRXQ 170/60-17 72 Q TL M+S
MotoZ Tractionator RallZ - TubelessTRXQ 120/70-19 60 Q TL M+S
et j'en suis vraiment très content ! ! !
Les plus grosses différences ressenties par rapport aux pneus d'origine routier :
La KTM est beaucoup plus haute qu'à l'origine (améliorant considérablement la garde au sol),
et il faut - sur route - impérativement garder ses distances par rapport au véhicule qui vous précède./...,
car en cas de freinage d'URGENCE les distances de freinage pour stopper la moto sont allongées du fait qu'il s'agit de pneus crampons, mais aussi des plus agressifs du catalogue MotoZ en ce qui concerne les pneus pour Trail's de grosse cylindrée !

How many miles are you getting on the Rallyz?
I have run two sets now. One about 70% on road for the commute and the other 30% playing hard off road and that set I got 5K miles. The second set was nearly all off road mostly desert and jagged rocks. That set got just over 4k miles. Could have gone longer on the street... but the off-road life was spent. -- Kyle & the Chap Moto Team
I just did a search for tires to fit my bike with no luck. Are they available for the DRZ 400 SM?
Thank you for your inquiry BullBars1. No, these Motoz RallZ tires are made to fit dirt oriented wheel sizes. Your SM being outfitted with 17" wheels front and rear will have a tough time finding tires to fit that are this aggressive. The TKC80 is made in your wheel sizes as is the Avon Trekrider and Trailrider tires. -- Kyle & the Chap Moto Team
Any recommendations for a Ktm 690 from this list ? Great review thank you ! Currently on the tkc 80s
What did you go with Tyler? I'm also looking for a 690
@@James_4444 i stuck with the TKC 80s for now but will be changing the front tire for something more aggressive after this round of KMs
This was a really excellent video except when you refer to the tires, you frequently said "this one", or "that one". It was really hard to follow since you are reviewing so many tires at the same time. Again, great job and I am ordering tires tonight…
Hi, thanks for pointing that out. we'll try to be more cognizant of those kind of details in the future.
@@chaparralmotorsports Again, this is the best tire comparison video I've seen. I just got a little confused…👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Awesome review!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
I re-did it ... on the 950 this time: th-cam.com/video/rVnT0dl04UA/w-d-xo.html same results. 4k miles!
What's the tread depth on the rallz rear?
7/32" is the tread depth on the RallZ
nice video. thanks
Glad you liked it!
Are Rallz ok with tubes?
For sure! All Tubeless motorcycle tires can be run on a TUBE Type bike as long as tubes are installed!
Do u have any tires for klr 650 ?
For sure! See the links in the video. The Desert HT, the Adventure and the GPS all have KLR 650 fitments. - Kyle & the Chap Moto Team
@@chaparralmotorsports thanks for quick reply actually i also ride on street so which one of them last me around 5000 n also good for dirt n mud ?
@@shaymtbrider7244 Go with the Tractionator Adventure. Watch this video to hear me describe how I use each tire and why I would choose one over another: th-cam.com/video/MZpxpK68EyQ/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching! Kyle
Are they gooooooood on wet road?
I like them in the wet better than most 50/50 tires. The have a hybrid silica compound that is hydrophobic. Thanks for watching. -- Kyle & the Chap Moto Team
Chaparral Motorsports thanks. So you think they are similar or better than Anakee Wild? I’m looking for tyres 50/50. I think about Anakee Wild, Heidenau K60 and Motoz. Price difference is about 30 bucks in Poland. I’m in the pickle
It's (MOTOZ) MOTO Zeeee not MOTARZ. Why Do you keep saying MOTARZ? I should know, i live this side of the world! Good review thou. Well done.,
ok. Got it. Thanks.
Well actually... after this video was made.... Australia called... it is MO-TAZ for Moto +OZ for Australia... Just saying. th-cam.com/video/rVnT0dl04UA/w-d-xo.html
@@manybikeswell that makes zero sense.... Missing an O for that. If it was supposed to be pronounced that way. Say "moto" sounds like it's spelt. Say "z" as it's pronounced. Motozee!
