- Michelin Anakee Adventure Tire Review. What is the best 80/20 tire for adventure bikes? Well, it could be the Michelin Anakee Adventure. Michelin mixes a lot of technology with some common sense and comes up with one of the best adventure tires I've ever ridden gravel and tarmac. Yes I pushed this tire a little bit harder off-road as on-road performance is usually good with the 80/20 segment. That holds true and even a little extra for the Anakee. here's a link to the review I wrote for RevZilla for this one. www.revzilla.c... You can also find links to all the gear I was wearing and sizing options in this link. No one pays me to wear my REV'IT! gear, my Shoei helmet, or test these tires in a positive light. It's all real talk around here. #anakeeadventure
To anybody coming into the video late; a quick review of mine on a super tenere 1200 after 2k miles.
The smooth surfaces -
1) Amazing road grip.
2) Amazing on hard dual track roads. Basically, if a car can drive on it, this tire performs very well
3) Really great performance on grass and hard clay
The rough surfaces -
1) If you're doing sand deeper than 2 inches and not compact (sugar sand, etc.) you HAVE to air these down to ~20-25 PSI. If you don't, it'll take a lot of skill to keep that bike up. The front will have no grip, so don't think about turning. Keep the weight back, and if the sand is truly soft you're just going to sink right in and push the front.
2) No traction in the mud whatsoever. If you give it gas the front/rear will slide sideways.
3) Wet grass is not good. So if you're jumping through puddles, stay easy on the gas because it will slip as there's nothing to bite down.
4) If you're on damp/wet dirt and that rear gets caked up the tire is effectively a slick and you cannot just gas it to clean it. You have to ride over dry/rough stuff.
TLDR:
Amazing 80/20 tire. If you avoid sugar sand and mud, it's the best thing ever.
Thanks boss. Got a 2020 SAS and was trying out the scorpion evos stock. Might slap these on.
I've got Anakee Adventure tyres on my V-Strom and very happy with it!
Nice
Outstanding review. Detailed, real world information, from a professional. I have Karoo 3's 50/50, and swapping the Anakees.
The wilds? Or the advs

So awesome to see someone riding the new Scram 12XE. I love my new white/green one. Purged my 800XCa for it....never looking back. I'll run the stock Tourance's and take a look at the MAA's when they're smoked.
What a cool channel. Subbed! Perfect timing when the Ducati went down!
Thanks man
I really like your videos... with good humor life is easier
Greetings from Spain
Medel
Thanks man!
awwwww you are one hell of a rider . Great riding skills , to the point , keep riding and do good videos - Cheers from Santosh, India
You make the best videos, I've probably run through every one of them at least twice! any recommendations for a 50/50 tire on a middleweight ADV bike? your videos got me into pushing the bigger bikes offroad and i have found that the 80/20s I have don't do the best in the terrain I frequent. keep on keepin' on!
I would recommend Motoz Tractionator GPS, I have run 2 rears still on the first front on my R1200 GSA, they are good on road, haven't done a lot of off road riding, only gravel roads, but they grip pretty good.
I just watched this a second time. Because I heart you.
Or is it because you need new tires?
@@steve_kamrad5216 DON'T TELL ME HOW TO LIVE MY LIFE! (No, I just wanted to watch it on the big screen, as opposed to my phone).
@@Braaping how was it on the 70 inch?
@@steve_kamrad5216 magnificent
One of the better reviews, great video too. Looks like a real fun bunch of hooligans!
Thanks man. Appreciate you reaching out to say so!
After watching how the Adventure tires performed in your video I’ll be putting a set on my ‘19 Africa Twin. I love my Anakee Wilds but the pavement kills them quickly.
@@gregc6661 these are really good except deep sand and mud, momentum and training make up big for the size and weight of adv bikes. Cheers dude
Going to try a set, heard they are noisy but we'll see. subbed.
@@roadwarrior8560 I ride knobbies everywhere so these are quite too me
LMFAO when that Duc went down in the mud. Great editing, Kamrad. 😂
It's the little things
@@steve_kamrad5216 "it's slippery......made you look"
@@evanallen246 hahaha. Got em
Muy gracioso el final del video.
Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷
Thank you! And cheers! One day I'll visit Argentina, I want to really badly
@@steve_kamrad5216 contáctame cuando visites Argentina, con mucho gusto podemos compartir caminos y sendas 👍🏻
Running a set of Motoz Tractionator GPS's on my V-strom 1000 XT but might go with a set of these next, no doubt they'll handle hard pack dirt roads and fire trails easily which is the extent of my offroading anyway.
Good vid. I’ve been looking for an 80/20 tire set for an F700 gs. Mostly roads and touring, but I’m finding I like taking trails and dirt roads if I see them.
These are really great. Mitas e07 is really good too
I just put a set of these on my 2017 Street Scrambler with 14K miles because we couldn't find a third set of Metzler Torance .tires.. I like the Anakee's a lot so far ..They have a hum on the tar that the Metzler's didn't but are a little more stable on the loose stuff .. . I got about 7K out of two sets of the Metzler's riding dirt gravel and broken tar back country roads ... Looking forward to a season on these tires and we will see how many miles I get from them ...
Sick, let me know how miles you get
You should have 100 times the more subs for your reviews and riding 👍🏍💨
One day!
@@steve_kamrad5216 you should get involved with 44Teeths Dakar prep that would boost the numbers!
@@user-nt9nd7xm5f making videos like that with people is mega time consuming. Also I don't have a British accent
they behave more like 60/40 if you are not too aggressive on the angle and speed. Getting a set for sure, I was leaning toward TkC70. But with this long bear, you look wise to trust.
Thanks man. Hope you like em. Let know what you think
@Ginger Ginger i have tried em. Didn't love them
Great review. You have mad skillsin riding and video production. Maybe I'll try them again since they are much different then previous versions which blew. They should have changed the name but I'll take that up with Michelins marketing crew 😉. Great work Steve.
Thanks Micheal! So the anakee 3's are now considered 90/10s and they weren't great off road. They're still going to make them as well
Have the Adventures on my Ducati also had them on my KTM super adventure 1290 really like them for amount of off road I'm doing really good in the wet
Nice!
super video thank s … good job
Thanks for the feed bck
That lake bed is slick as snot when wet. DAMHIK lol. Good job!
Oh yeah. Just weight the pegs and squeeze the knees, adjust accordingly. No turns
How are they on ice? .... It's a 80/20 tire...
That's Lucerne dry lake bed in California
I am thinking of putting the Anakee Adventure on the back and the Anakee Wild on the front.
You could and if it's dry where you ride you'll have a sweet set up. Otherwise go wilds front and rear. The wilds last long
Kamrad's engine hole fix - ear plugs. How could I possibly like you any more?
😂 I'm halfway through brap talk 11. I haven't been mentioned yet so I can't say I like you as much as you like me......yet
@@steve_kamrad5216 hey man, tit for tat!
thx for the video...have you also tested the Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR which should fall into the same category...? I'm wondering how it performs in comparison with the Anakee
There better offroad and a fantastic street tire but the tread is low
I think it's a fantastic 80/20 tire but still not the type I typically will run given my preferred type of riding. Wished I had them in Colombia though recently where we did 98% pavement with lots of rain.
That much pavement in Colombia?
@@steve_kamrad5216 we were helping out refugees up and down the highway between Cucuta and Pamplona. One day we went on dirt to some farms and that was the only dirt this time.
@@XLAdvRider Fair play to you Dude, and safe travelling !
Thanks for the great video. Question: any feedback on how this tire behaves on wet roads / under rainy conditions. I want to replace the poor original mounts on my CRF1000AT, looking at these Michelin, but want to make sure they will be an upgrade...
No wet experience but i can say that Michelin tires are so well engineered that these would have to be great
Steve_Kamrad thanks ! 👍🏻
Great vids. Always have a laugh watching. I still can't stop laughing when I recall your "standing on it bitches" cry in the sand dunes. Getting some of these on tomorrow morning. Thought I would give them a try instead of my usual TKC 70's. I hope they are as good on wet tarmac as a lot of the reviews claim. We are going to be riding in a shitload of rain next week.
😂🤣 he said "Issa--issa... parallelogram"
Quick question. I have the MIta’s E07 Dakars now. Have a problem with vibration making the hands numb. How are these tires with regard to smoothness on the highway? Also, do you have any idea as to how well they will hold up on two up riding on something like a Yamaha Super Tenere? Have to say I do not like the Mita’s at all. Had the K60’s and thought they were better than the Mita’s.
Sounds like your tires are not balanced
The questions is, would you buddy have fallen if you didn't distract him?
I like that these are dual compound but don't love the profile of the front. Was thinking about running a Dunlop trail mission front and an anakee adventure rear.. does this sound like a bad idea? It would be for a dr650, 19" front and 4.25" x 17" rear
Not a horrible idea at all of the profile on the front doesn't suit you
@@steve_kamrad5216 right on! I'm still new to a lot of this moto stuff so I appreciate your informed opinion
Great video as usual! :)
You're great as usual
They are awesome right !!!
Very
80/20 and no mention about road noise? My current Anakee 3 are sooo noisy on road... are they similar?
Absolutely no road noise. Didn't even think to mention it but I also usually ride non dot knoobies or 20/80s.
1:25 who needs a adw tire, when only riding highway by the look of the tyre
Like 80% of the texts you get, this video is full of knobs...knobbies, I meant knobbies!
Knoobies
How do you call this an 80 / 20 and the Annakee 3 an 80/20 ?
Not possible .
Annakee 3 90 / 10
Annakee adventure 80/ 20
This vs scorpions for gravel?
Same for eveything except mileage is better on the Michelin
Any thoughts on the Continental TKC 70 Rocks?
Decent for tar and low speed but the worst side walls for protecting rims at speed
You don’t have to air Anakees down.
Awwww yeeaahhhh
Yo! it's really slippery! Bafff crash. Hahahaha
Got em
How is the noise on road?
Super smooth and quite
@@steve_kamrad5216 Strange you say that because on Michelins own websit there sevaral reviews that stat that the tire atr very noisy. I don`t like noisy tires and think it is strange that noise is not a bigger topic in rating tires. There should be a standard like for car tires.
@@peterknudsen8061 wind noise makes motorcyclist def, not tire noise. These are real quite
Steve V is missing !!
Thanks bud. I've never had so much trouble getting a video to upload. I was burnt at this point. Cheers
I am tired.
what about Anakee vs Tkc 70??
So i know the tkc 70 has a shit side wall and solid strip in the middle and won't last as long sooooooo. Hope that helps
"Adenture" Tire review?
I'm such an idiot. Thanks bud
@@steve_kamrad5216 All good.
Not very informative, more like advertising for michelin. How do they compare to Karoo street? No real info here, just opinions.
Ummm i literally went over every strong point of the tire, every weak point, all the technology in it, mileage and how it feels and linked a written review article to it that was published by revzilla. If you find anything more informative let me know. The Karoo 3 is fine on the street but has less longevity but will be much better in the sand or mud.
@@steve_kamrad5216 Sorry, guess my comment was a bit harsh. I was looking for a comparison with Karoo Street (not 3) or Anakee 2. Tires I know and can relate to.
