Are Motoz Tyres any good? In this video i give my honest opinion on the Motoz Tractionator Dual Venture and the Motoz Tractionator RallZ. Enjoy! Support the channel buymeacoffee.c... GPX files buymeacoffee.c...
There is more to how tires perform then just that. Geometry, sag, tire presure, rider postion, type of riding, ect. This is why no two people will have the same opinion on tires. The DRZ is raked out at the front so I found bringing the fork tubes up through the tripples by 20 - 30mm made a huge difference with the front sticking in fast gravel turns. You also need to slide up on the tank to weight the front tire. I did try the Motoz Rallz on the rear to be pretty good at 20PSI. I also found the MT21 front and rear on the DRZ worked well.
Sounds like the perfect combination for my trip to the Finke next year on the T7. Thanks. Used the Motoz GPS for a long trip off road on my supertenere and the rear was ideal, the front not much.
I run the same tyres on my adv bike but have a 150 on the back. Found them to have good longevity, good performance on and off road. Haven't done too much mud but done deep sand and found them good not great. Never had issues in the wet on the road. The rear especially can be noisy. Would recommend. Most likely will try the Mitas enduro trail XT next.
the 140 would have an effect on traction too, wider tyre equals less contact pressure example is like a boot vs a stiletto. but it wouldn't change the outcome of the review just that a 120 would bite in a bit more and stay hooked up slightly better, also less weight sapping power and slowing direction changes.
Was waiting for this review as I'm close to replacing the tyres on "Doozer", but, have been happy with my 606/MT 21...may just go to the next level up on the MT21...thanks for the review.
Hi Josh. I run Motoz on my 990R. My past experience is that the tyres take 2000km plus to settle in. And tyre pressures are of great importance. One can run low pressures in the Motoz range due the hard and stiff side walls. I normally run 2 bar in the front and rear laden or unladen. When the terrain gets extreme then I drop down to 1.6 bar. Nothing much notable from 2 to 1.8 bar. The trip you said you battled with these tyres wasn't it the trip your battled and didn't enjoy. Watching that video your front looked like a pogo stick, and a bad case of the luggage steering the bike. Since then you have had the suspension serviced. What tube are you running I.e,. normal 2mm, HD 3mm or UHD 4mm? Tyre pressure, tyre compound, tube thickness and suspension settings all go hand in hand. Unsprung mass comes in to play as well. A guy who races bikes once told when I asked him what tyre size I must run on my 450 plastic. His answer was to me, 500cc and below nothing bigger than a 120 width in the rear. I run a 140/80/18 on my 990R instead of the normal 150/70/18. There is a large difference between the two sizes. The 140 has a higher profile and rolling diameter, plus weight. I don't need or use the full width of the 150 on or off the road. Also a tubeless tyre has a heavier side wall than a tube tyre. These tips I got from Motoz. Yes I agree tyres and tyre pressures are individual taste and preferences. Individual riding styles plays an important part as well. All the best with finding that perfect tyre combination.
Nice one mate. I reckon I’ll have a few different points to what you mentioned which will be good for the perspective buyers. My rear is looking pretty sad due to being absolutely flogged. Still some life left so no review from me just yet 🤙
Nice review. Good to see you give a real honest answer at the end, even if they were a "freebie" Do you have a trip in the pipeline where you could try a more road orientated tyre? Like 80/20. Do you do enough bitumen/hard gravel trips that would warrant that type of tyre that would still be capable off road?
@@philmenzies2477 thanks 😁 I always want to give my honest opinions. Probably not, I like to be off-road as much as I can. Maybe if I had a big bmw gs or something to run them on but nothing anytime soon I’d say.
@@Nerb1 yea I’d be curious to see how long it can go. No I haven’t tried it, I might have to give it a go and start trying some more aggressive front tyres.
Should try the motoz IT enduro, I think the tyre problem is the bike is too light, same problem I had on the 500, although will be fitting the rallz to the 1290
I wouldn't say it isn't what I think it should be. I think it's great for the longer adventures, I just don't think it's the right choice if you want to ride some tougher more technical trails. It's still a great tyre designed for a certain application. As they all are I guess.
@@_JoshJB_ that’s what I thought! I want to scoop one of those and some SKDA graphics once I get all the priority stuff wrapped up. Fun bike to work on
I fitted up a Rallz on the rear in Alice before i crossed the Simpson, not as happy with it as the Desert HT but it did the job.

It will do well on that trip 👍
The Gritty ED03/04 is a bit of a unicorn tyre IMO. Couldnt really fault them but I couldnt find them in the aftermarket, so went with Maxxis desert

@@6226superhurricane yea weight would be a factor. I usually like a 130 size on the DRZ.
Great review I have the same setup on my T7 definitely want something that performs better in the more technical off road next

Hi Josh love watching your videos mate keep them coming and thank you for the effort and time you put into them would you pick D606 over motoz tyre's
Thanks mate. It depends what kind of adventure i'm looking at doing, but the D606 would offer a bit more grip offroad.
Nice one mate. I reckon I’ll have a few different points to what you mentioned which will be good for the perspective buyers.
My rear is looking pretty sad due to being absolutely flogged. Still some life left so no review from me just yet 🤙
@@The_Apprentice_Adventurer keep riding on the dual venture until it’s fried. I’d like to know how far it’ll go. 😁

Longevity of that dualventure is amazing from my experience.
Have you tried the motoz enduro front? Im really liking them offroad.
@@Nerb1 yea I’d be curious to see how long it can go. No I haven’t tried it, I might have to give it a go and start trying some more aggressive front tyres.
@@_JoshJB_ I use the Enduro IT tyre on my bike. Great tyre. Motoz Rallz rear.
Should try the motoz IT enduro, I think the tyre problem is the bike is too light, same problem I had on the 500, although will be fitting the rallz to the 1290
Not sure if you’ve tried a Dunlop 603 on the rear? Write up says there a 70/30% off-road on road tyre. I’m curious as to how they perform.
I never had a problem with Rallz rear on my 690r but I aired it down 10 psi
Tubeless? Rim locks? Did you make the wheels for tubeless tires yourself?
Interesting review. So many people rave about this tire
If this tire isn’t what you think it’s should be. What tire have you used that’s better ?
I wouldn't say it isn't what I think it should be. I think it's great for the longer adventures, I just don't think it's the right choice if you want to ride some tougher more technical trails. It's still a great tyre designed for a certain application. As they all are I guess.
Bike still looks too clean n shiny, 10k km's is not bad ? Have you ever used MT21 front and 606 rear ?
I love to keep it clean. I'm yet to use that combo. But I have had a D606 rear and loved it.
Rall zee😂
What front fender are you running on hour bike?
It's an RM Fender. Early 2000s I believe.

Hey josh do you get Anlas capra x tires out there in aus
