    Thanks for the review Tony, it’s always good to hear about possible tyre options.
    Funnily enough, I was at Jim Aim a week ago - had my 1290 SAS serviced and got them to fit a set of Michelin Road 5 trails at the same time. That was my first visit there but it certainly won’t be my last…they did a first class job and even lent me a 790 Duke for the day (which I put about 150 miles on). So a big thumbs up for Jim Aim from me 👍

    Fenomenalny tire. Did around 800okm with the set and Yeastday I cut the rear tire on the sharp piece of rock. Could not fix it so I decided to ride it flat 10km off road and 55 km on tarmac home. No problems. Did 60-70 km/h on motoway and get home in one piace No damage to the rim. Today I will put new set of them. Handling is amazing

    Good timely review. About to change my AT1100 boots for a more road tyre choice ready for next year. Will price these up.

    I am just about to change my Michelin anakee 3's on my F850GS nearly 15'000 front and back. I am really impressed with them. Possibly a little noisy? But I would recommend them 👍

      I've +17500kms (+11k miles) on the Michelin Anakee 3s with the same bike, F850GS and there is easily another 2000+ kms left. I have been really impressed with them too in both the wet and dry, as I commute/tour all year round. I have heard that they have gotten a negative name 'panickee 3s' from riders on other bikes. I am going to try the Dunlop Trailmax Meridian next time just for something different.

    How do these compare to Continental Trail Attack 3? On dry and on wet tarmac, which inspires more confidence?

    • @mancavemoto
      @mancavemoto  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Both great tyres, but I think these just pop the contis in the wet. A little more feedback I would say

    • @mancavemoto
      @mancavemoto  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Quite similar, but the side wall is slightly stiffer in these which make it feel a little ‘quicker’ on the road

    Thanks for posting. Looks to be a good alternative to the Pirelli Scorpion Trail that I need to replace on my Multistrada. I did try a set of Mission Trail on my now-gone Scrambler 1200 which were fantastic tires, but noisy.

    Hi Tonny,
    I really like your videos, they are very useful for me.
    I would like to know your opinion:
    For an Africa Twin 1100 Adventure Sports, which order of choice for these 3 tyres?
    - Conti Trail Attack 3
    - Bridgestone A41
    - Dunlop Trailmax Meridian
    Thank you very much for your videos

    • @mancavemoto

    Tempted to stick a pair on my 890 for road touring, but I'm curious about the Metzler Tourance Next 2 which look good on the spec sheet. P.S +1 on Jim Aim.

    Great video Sir! My Triumph Tiger 1200 came with the Metzeler "Tourance Next" tires. They are very much like the Dunlop tires. I hear folks getting 15,000 miles on them. Any feedback? May be Dunlops are better?
    Peace !
