Hey folks!
I just recently put a set of Motoz Tractonatior adventure on my 18 AT. So far they are AMAZING off-road. They handled sand, loose dirt, creek crossings on slippery boulders and steep descents extremely well. They are not great on the road though. They have decent manners and you can corner well at slower speeds with them. If there are grooves in the pavement they walk all over. Took almost 150 miles on them to break them in. I got death wobbles on the freeway at about 87 mph today. I still love them for what they are. My previous tires were k60 scouts and they sucked off-road but we're stable up to 125mph on the freeway. There are obvious benefits of each in their element. I prefer off-road performance to street manners any day. The AT is a CRF1000 after all. I am doing a BDR at the end of the month, I will see how the tolerate that level of abuse 😁

Went the same way then switched to the Dunlop Trail Max Missions and while not quite as good offroad they are far superior on road. I've done the **** and the MA BDR on them and never felt traction was an issue. On the road they are stable on my loaded AT to over 110mph and living just north of ATL I've had them leaned over in the turns to almost scrape levels. After about 5kmiles you do get a bit of vibration leaned over in the turn from the side tread but nothing terrible.

The trail max missions front is by far the best front tire out there , I loved the missions rear too, just didn’t get much mileage from them, in fairness I did change them a bit early because of a flat, I just figured if I’m going to change the tube I might as well change the tire considering I would have to change it in a few months anyway.
Currently running the Tractionator GPS rear and Enduro front because no one had the Tractionator front. The enduro is more like a 90/10 and those knobs track tarmac rain groves and cracks like a train on a train track. But the flip side is they are a dream on gravel roads or mud/dirt off-road.

I have Motoz Tractionator GPS front and rear on my AT and I'm very pleased with the on road performance. Haven't had them off road yet but I expect them to be a good tire in the gravel and dry, rocky trails around here. I also just picked up a used Rallz (free with only a couple hundred miles on the tire) for the rear. I need to find a knobby for the front to compliment the Rallz.

I completely agree with your assessment. I installed a set of the Tractionators front and rear. Great off road, but with a fully loaded bike on the street, I got the wobbles at just over 70 mph on two separate occasions. All it took was a small disturbance in the road surface to set it off. Not a fan at all! I suspect the rear is not to problem so I will be looking for something else up front. I will read on for alternates.

Hey just got 2024 at standard. Read your post. Why don’t you try some balance beads might help
With wobble. I’m sure you’ve burned out those tires by now but my question is do you think those adventure tires are worth it because you’re saying they’re terrible on the road but I’ve heard other say they’re good.?

i have the Motoz gps on front and back. Just did a round trip from South Carolina to Utah. Awesome trip, I experienced high winds, 40+ mph, snow, rain, wind and temperatures as low as 38 degrees. I was confident in my Motoz and I even caught a nail in Wyoming in my rear tire. I plugged the tire and kept on motoring.

I have 8k on this set and was looking to replace them, after shopping around I’ve decided to just replace them with a new set of Motoz GPS. After all they performed as expected.

That’s awesome thanks. Did you do any loose sand or mud ect ? Curious

I just ordered a Motoz Tractionator Adventure for the rear my '23 ATAS. Went with the DV up front. I'm hoping they live up to the experiences everyone else has had with them. I had bought a set of the Tusk 2Track tires and found out about the recall on the weekend, my rear is definitely one in the date range. So I guess I'll have to try them later in the year if I get a replacement in the near future.
