Those damn rain grooves! Ha! Ha! The 2 Track tires handle them better than most. Off road, I agree that they are fantastic. I've found them to be slippery on cold wet pavement... better than some & not as good as others... but that's a hard ask for most knobby tires. Overall, it's a great tire at an amazing value.
Couldn’t agree more. Big fan of the tire even if it was the same price as others.
Thx for the feedback Kyle! Hopefully RM will have it in other sizes 19/17, 140, 130 for other bikes to fit
Just got a pair for my tenere based on this review, Thanks!
Glad to hear it and hope you like them. Have fun 🤙
I just put these on my T7 and they are fantastic so far. Completely changed the bike off road compared to the stockers.
Glad to hear it. I feel they are a fantastic tire and a huge value
These are a really awesome looking tire! Thanks for the review, Travis!
I was blown away by how good they feel on the big bike. Would happily recommend them to anyone
I'll give them a shot, thanks for the info.
Have fun and enjoy 😉
Buying a T7 in two weeks, and now i know what tires to get! Thanks for the review!
Congrats on the new bike and have fun 🤙
I have had my T7 for 3 years , every day I ride the bike is never gets boring like a Harley ‼️‼️ congrats on the bike ‼️‼️
i have been thinking about getting for my t7 thanks for the info
You’ll love em man. Rear is in back order currently but i imagine they will have some more soon
I’m loving these tires on my 1090. Not just for the money but it’s otherwise been a really good tire this far. To me it’s performed every bit as good as the MotoZ ADV. L
I’m with you. Everyone keeps saying it’s “good for the money” but I feel it’s every bit as good as other tires that are available at any cost
What did you mount on your 1190?
Solid review, I'm off the fence now!! ✌️
At this price, it’s worth a shot. So many good tires to choose from
Nice report!
These will be my next tire on my 701 Enduro. Currently on a RallZ rear and stock TKC 80 front. The rear TKC wore out very fast, I don't know why. Just kidding, I do know why 😂 I live in CO and ride a lot of 4x4 stuff like that shown in the video, on down to single track.
That sounds awesome. Colorado has so much good stuff. Have fun
Excited to see how these perform enmasse.
Full Send!
Just finished Sec 1-3 of the MABDR on my Tuareg this past weekend. It currently has a Motoz Dualventure front and Rallz in the back. I dislike the Dualventure. It performs well off road, but is very loud on slab; and has a slight wobble under acceleration on slab. I have a new set of 2Tracks I’ll be mounting soon.
Curious how you think they compare once you get some time on them. Have fun
I appreciate the feedback for off road use of this tire. Sounds like you can't really tell me how well they work on pavement for someone who likes to push to the limit of traction in the twisties though.
I can recommend riding more dirt :)
I’d rather be honest about my skill sets. There’s way too many people that will you they are the best dirt or asphalt rider and given their review when they have no place doing so. Have fun and let me know if you do try them, and how you like them onroad
Thank you for good info
Glad it was helpful!
I thought I heard you say you have a couple thousand miles on them. How’s the wear? I just got these and haven’t been able to get the bike out yet, dang snow. But so far they look great lol.
Thanks for the video man. It looks like your having fun.
Somewhere around 2500-3000 on them. The rear is definitely showing wear but the front is holding up great, not much feathering.
Thanks Travis. Been pondering set of tractionators coming off the stock 890 tires which are great on the road but kinda suck on the dirt. Gonna do tusks now I think.
Do you run the tpms sensors? I know My 23 890 has the software built into the screen and thought I’d order some and let the dealer do the first tire swap and add the tpms software. I was told i prolly need a software update anyway since it’s been a year.
Popped and major tore shoulder out in October so have become an excellent TH-cam rider this dirt season😂
I haven’t ever used TPMS on a dirt bike before. But, it can’t hurt. Heal up and have fun
I’d like to see a comparison between these and the Motoz Rallz/Adventure and the Dualventure front. I have a set on my Tuareg and they are awesome off-road. But they a loud on road and the Dualventure front does wobble slightly on road.
I’ve ridden those a few times and they are great tires. However, I don’t have enough time on them currently to do a video on them. Hopefully Kyle at Many Bikes can put one together soon.
Great thorough reviews as always. Going put a set on my T7 tomorrow. I’ve always run the stock Pirelli’s because I do so many road miles to get to the dirt I want to ride. It has always limited what I ride when I hit the dirt which sucks because I am capable of riding much harder and funner terrain. I have no doubt they will be fine on the road even though I carve pretty hard and fast. My biggest concerns is how much they vibrate. Their smoothness so to speak. Obviously they won’t be as smooth as a 50/50. How smooth are they?
I haven’t noticed any vibrations or loud noises from them. Obviously take it easy in the turns as they won’t be as good as the Pirelli on your way to the trails but offroad it will change your life. Thanks for the good words 🤙
Make sure you balance them and they should be super smooth onroad
I hope availability is good come summer
I’m sure it will be. I heard they got a few on an advanced shipment and the big order is set to hit soon.
Awesome video! Question: your running 28 psi in the front off road, how about the rear, 30 psi?
I was 28 all around. I’ll usually go lower out back for offroad if anything. All depends on what that days mission is. Have fun 🤙
Travis on a tenere!? What have I missed? I have to catch up. Also, I own a 2022 tenere and rail the thing on road with factory pirelli str but off road they are sketchy. It’s about time for some new tires so these seem like a great option. I have Rocky mountain’s D-sport tires on my husky FE501S and they’re pretty good
I actually had a T7 years ago when they first came out. Quite a few videos back on that thing.
As long as it’s not muddy or slippery the stock tires aren’t too bad on packed dirt. But these two tracks are a huge improvement on every surface.
Have fun
bro..ypu really need to try about 14-17 in those tires!for offroad,thats the best!i carry a mini inflator and just reinflate when um goin back on the road.
14-17 will destroy wheels on a bike this heavy. If I was just going to ride single track in loose conditions yes it would definitely help but so would real knobbies and narrower wheels. A ADV tire on a 4.5 or 4” rim these come with works pretty well but definitely not amazing
Waiting for 17". Want to put them on my Himalayan
I imagine they are working on them
Thanks for the review. I’ve been curious about and also a bit leery of these things. The price point almost makes them scary. I’m curious if you have ridden the motoz tractionator adventure and if you would call this a direct competitor to it or even the rallz. Also, have you tried the golden tyre gt723r/rh? I’m also on a t7 and on a mission to find that sweetheart tire. The bike is an interesting size and it seems that we have tire options that not all riders have. You can kind of go either direction, from full knobby to full street. I’ve found that the motoz and Pirelli offerings in the tubeless varieties leave a bit to be desired when riding aggressively off road. Especially on steep loose downhill sections and loose gravely roads. They are ok, but definitely a compromise, as these things tend to be. Im just starting to lean into the tube type category to see what those offerings feel like on dirt and the street. I have the golden tyre 723s in the garage, but it’s not time to mount them yet here in Colorado. Thanks, Travis. Have a good one!
These are closest to the Rallz tires from MotoZ. The Adventure ones is a bit more street oriented
I role the 723 years ago in a friends bike and offroad. I could never find a set in stock so I never owned any. Offroad they were amazing and I never got to them offroad
For me. Most of my adventure bike time offroad has been kn Moto tires cause I hate tires that suck. It these 2 tracks have really surprised me…. It’s weird
Ok. Excellent. Thanks for the reply. Much appreciated. I’ll give these things a shot one of these days. I’ve been running rallz and Pirelli scorpion rally’s mostly. I don’t care for the motoz adventure/dual venture setup. I agree they are streety. I’m anxious to try the 723s and I’m also wanting to try the scorpion rally tube type as well as the d908. I get the impression that the rally raid style tube type tires are gonna be the sweet spot between adv tires and full on dirt tires. Time will tell. But, for the money, it’s worth checking these tusk tires out for bdr type rides or whatever. Thanks again, brother. Have a great night!
Travis, have I just missed your videos or what? Haven’t seen anything from you in a while. Are you still in Utah or have you gone back down South?
I’m floating around at the moment. Spending a lot of time in Vegas and Phoenix lately. Life’s a bit crazy at the moment
Rain grooves put a hinge in the middle of your saddle with most knobbies. the only thing worse is cheese grater bridges
You said it. I’ve been over some bridges that were so scary
Great video !!!! I have a '22 GSA and they said they are going to make more sizes. Do you think these would work on heavy ADV bikes ??
I think they would be just fine on heavier bikes as well. Enjoy.
@@EverySingleSunday Thank you !!!! 🙂
Just put a set of the Dunlop Raids on my T7 this week for a trip to DV tomorrow, I think these Tusks will be next. Seem like a great value, thanks for the info.
Nice. I have had missions and love them in the past. I am mounting up some Raids tomorrow for an upcoming trip to Baja that will have a mix of pavement and some light dirt roads. I’m really excited to try them out
@@EverySingleSunday My previous set was the Trailmax, enjoyed them for just shy of 10K miles, wanted a little more grip for a few upcoming trips so I went with the Raids. I have a feeling they are going to wear quicker than I'd like but we'll see. Wave high when you come through, my house is a mile from the border. Baja is fun and so beautiful.
I'm testing the Raids now, not great in the sand and the front tire is a little sketchy on gravel. But it's probably the best adv tire I've ever run on the street!!✌️
Ive riding my Tiger 900 Rally Pro with the Trailmax Missions. Planning on a San Diego down to La Paz and back, in a few weeks. I was thinking hard about the Raids for my next trip after that, but maybe will consider these Tusks too.
How you liking them?
I’ll be putting these on. Not sure if I should do it now or get some life out of the oem tires first
All depends on what you like to ride. If it’s just street, use the OEM Tire
I’m assuming these won’t really work on a KTM 500? Been running a tusk dsport on rear and stock up front till it is too worn. Well it’s time to replace both. What tire combo do you recommend? I ride probably 60/40 dirt/street but like you really want the off road to be better as far as tires go. Live in East Texas and ride a lot of black top, gravel, fire roads and trails. Also ride a lot of rocky terrain in southeast Oklahoma. TIA!
They would be way too stuff for a bike that light. Even the D sport is a bit stiff for offroad in my option. I really like the Tusk Talon up front and the T 45 on my 500 for longer trips to Baja.
I ride lightweight 300-450cc dual sports, and I have been satisfied with the Tusk Dsport tires. They perform excellent off road, but the Dsport front tire can be a little bit sketchy on the road... It appears that the 2 Track front tire would feel more planted on the road, but how will it compare to the Dsport off road, on the smaller bikes?
On road I think you will definitely see an improvement going with the two Track upfront. I would definitely run a lower pressure on your bike because the carcass on this tire is so much stiffer. As for off-road, it should be pretty good on hard pack, but I don’t see it being great in the sand versus a nobby Moto tire.
@@EverySingleSunday thank you. Much appreciated.
The Tusk 2 Track rear tires were just recalled.
No, a small date range of rear tires were recalled. Not all 2 track tires.
Hey Travis, what are your thoughts about this tire compared to the Dunlop Trailmax Raid? KTM 890 Adv R here.
This tire is much more aggressive than a Trail max raid. The raid is a little better on the street, but not nearly as good off-road
I have a video on the RAID as well if you’re interested
I wish they made those in my size.
What size do you need and what bike are you riding?
The question is longevity? How many miles do you have on them? With your street and dirt riding, how are they wearing? I run a Dunlop 908RR rear which is an excellent tire, but only good for 3000 miles. What do you see with these?
Well, most of my riding is offroad. Compared to a 908 it looks like it will last longer. The 908 doesn’t work as well and starts wearing faster than this out back. I loved the 908 front but onroad it was one of the scariest tires I’ve ever ridden.
How much would you recon they would last? Or rather how they wear for you in comparison to known quantity like TKC80, MotoZ Tractionator RallZ, Dunlop Missions, etc.
Should be very similar to a rallz on wear.
@@EverySingleSunday front also? People've worn RallZ front in 1500mi, and in my experience it lasts a couple hundred miles more than D606, which is a 3k tire. That if you get it on concrete slab it will last longer on dirt.
I wonder how these are if you had to ride to the start of the AZBDR or CABDR from SoCal. Thoughts?
I’d be fine with it. Actually, top of my list for something like that. Have fun
Lotta sand at the start of the CABDR...so these look like they'd work pretty decent.
How would you compare these Tusk tires to the TKC80’s?
These are much more aggressive and much better off-road tire. 80 is definitely a bit more street focused it has a softer carcass which will ride smoother
how many miles do you have on them so far, and what's your estimate on life expectancy?
Somewhere around 2k probably. As for life it depends how low you want to run them. There’s a lot of life left on the tire but I’d replace them today if I was leaving for another trip
But if you want to run it all the way to the wear bars it could go another 2-4k probably depending on how you ride, dirt vs street, and so many other factors
Motoz-killer
They may have to rethink their pricing after the release of these. They are both great fantastic tires.
What would you think about these on something lighter and more off road? I’m looking for tires to put on my XR650R to ride Tecate to Cabo off road.
All depends on the route you plan on riding. When I do Baja I am mostly offroad and want a full knobby tire vs a dual sport tire. But I am 90%+ offroad for that trip.
Pick you favorite front and then a rear that will last you the trip. I’ve been using the Tusk T45 in the rear as it’s cheap and works good enough down there. Up front either a Tusk Talon or a GT 216aa
These will be very still under that 650. Ride will be super bumpy and not much traction
Thanks. That’s what I was looking for. We are going to do as close to all off road as possible. With all the praise on these things I thought they might be viable for the longevity. I used to run 739ATs but I think they’d be pretty bald by the time I got down to the tip.
It only comes in a 150 for the rear though. Wish they offered a 140.
I’m sure they will make more sizes eventually. Probably just launched with the most popular
Curious to know if they are noisy.
I didn’t really pay attention to it while riding. I have lots of time on them and I’ve never noticed and obnoxious noise coming off the tire.
I've ordered one of those for my rear tire, if I want a front tire that would help for sand riding while doing street fine, should I also get the same tire for front or another tire?
I think actually answered you in a FG groups today. I’m a huge fan of this and it’s pretty darn good in sand vs most other adv tires. It’s good for street as well. I say grab the full set
@@EverySingleSunday Oh so you did see my post! Yeah I did decide to order them along with the rear tire. :)
Are these tires available in South Africa?
I believe Rocky Mountain ATV ships worldwide but I am not sure. Just hop on their website and give it a shot.
Looks like the "comment" function got fixed on your channel. Over the weekend, all of your videos that I was watching, had comments turned off.
Ya, it’s been a mess. Took a while to get it sorted out but is good now. Thanks
Sand?
They have been fantastic compared to most other tires I’ve tried on the big bikes.
The front tire is it as good as a Motoz Dual Venture or the old gone but not forgotten (by me anyway still my fav front) TKC80 ??? im kinda with you on that , i just want a tire that doesnt step out or squirm around on the highway but works as good as possible off road and of course that lasts like a Motoz
My time on the MotoZ stuff is very limited and I do not know it well enough to compare the two in depth
I have ridden them, but not to point where I know that tire
I’m a huge fan of these and think they are a great tire even if they cost the same amount as some of the other stuff on the market
@@EverySingleSunday thank you
