FAQs

What does '50/50 Dual Sport' mean for this tyre?

It means the tyre is designed to offer balanced performance for both on-road riding (like highways and paved roads) and off-road conditions (like gravel, dirt, and light trails).

Is this tyre suitable for a rear or front wheel?

The Anlas Capra X comes in specific sizes designated for front or rear fitment. Some listings may be universal fitment for that size, but always check the tyre's size marking and your motorcycle's manual for correct fitment.

What is Aramid construction and why is it important?

Aramid is a strong, heat-resistant synthetic fibre used in the rear tyre's construction. It enhances durability and resistance to wear, making the tyre more robust for demanding off-road use.

How do I know if I need a tubeless (TL) or tubed (TT) tyre?

The tyre size marking will indicate 'TL' for Tubeless or 'TT' for Tubed. Your motorcycle's wheel rim will determine which type you need. Check your motorcycle's specifications.

Can I use this tyre for long-distance touring?

Yes, the Capra X is suitable for touring, especially if your route includes varied terrain. Its durable construction and balanced performance make it a reliable choice for extended journeys.

How does this tyre compare to a purely street tyre?

Compared to a dedicated street tyre, the Capra X offers better off-road capability but may have slightly less ultimate grip or a different feel on pavement due to its more aggressive tread pattern. It prioritizes versatility.

What maintenance does the Anlas Capra X require?

Regular checks of tyre pressure and visual inspection for damage are essential. Keep the tyres clean and avoid harsh cleaning agents.

Troubleshooting

Tyre seems unbalanced during ride

Ensure the tyre was properly balanced during installation. Check for any foreign objects lodged in the tread.

Premature wear on the tread

Verify that tyre pressures are consistently maintained at the manufacturer's recommended levels. Avoid aggressive acceleration and braking, especially on pavement.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

While designed for varied conditions, wet performance can be influenced by tread depth and tyre pressure. Ensure correct pressure and ride cautiously in wet conditions.

Excessive road noise

Though engineered to reduce noise, some noise is inherent to aggressive tread patterns. Ensure proper installation and balance. Road surface can also influence perceived noise.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the tyre is fitted according to manufacturer specifications and local regulations. Always check that the tyre size designation matches your motorcycle's wheel rim. The 'TL' marking indicates a Tubeless tyre, while 'TT' indicates a Tubed tyre. If your rim requires a tube, ensure you use a compatible inner tube.

Compatibility: The Anlas Capra X is designed for big ADV machines. Please verify the specific size and load/speed rating required for your motorcycle model before purchasing. Some listings may be marked as 'Front / Rear', indicating a universal fitment for that specific size, but always check your motorcycle's manual for recommended tyre fitments.

Care: Regularly inspect the tyre for any signs of damage, such as cuts, bulges, or embedded objects. Maintain correct tyre pressure as recommended by your motorcycle manufacturer for optimal performance, fuel efficiency, and tyre life. Clean the tyre with mild soap and water if necessary, avoiding harsh chemicals.
