FAQs
Is this tyre suitable for off-roading?
It is suitable for light gravel and maintained trails, but it is not a dedicated off-road or knobby tyre and will struggle in deep mud or soft sand.
Does the full-silica compound affect warm-up time?
The silica compound is designed to provide excellent grip quickly, even in cooler temperatures, compared to standard racing or hard-compound touring tyres.
Can I use this for long-distance touring?
Yes, the radial construction and stable carcass are specifically designed for the demands of long-distance adventure touring.
What is the primary benefit of the tread grooves?
The wide grooves are specifically engineered for water dispersion to prevent hydroplaning on wet surfaces.
How often should I check my tyre pressure?
It is best practice to check your tyre pressure at least once every two weeks or before every long journey to maintain peak performance and safety.
Troubleshooting
Excessive vibration at highway speeds
Check wheel balance and ensure the tyre is correctly seated on the rim bead.
Premature wear on the center of the tread
Verify that your tyre pressure is set correctly; under-inflation or over-inflation can lead to uneven wear patterns.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Compatibility: The 160/60ZR17 sizing is designed for common mid-to-large displacement adventure bikes. Always check your motorcycle's manufacturer manual to ensure this tyre meets the required speed and load ratings.
- Installation: It is recommended to have these tyres fitted by a professional using a dynamic wheel balancer to ensure ride quality at highway speeds.
- Pressure Management: Maintain the manufacturer's recommended tyre pressure specifically for your motorcycle model, not just the pressure indicated on the tyre sidewall, to achieve the optimal contact patch.
- Break-in Period: Like all new motorcycle tyres, ensure you ride cautiously for the first 50–100 miles to remove the factory release agent from the tread surface.
