Looking for your input and experience with different tires.
Currently running tkc80s and want something a bit more aggressive and durable.
My top choice atm is the Midas enduro trail xt+ Dakar but looking for suggestions.
Lots of gravel riding, sand and Offroad
I’ve been using trail forks as my main app to find trails but I’m finding it very limiting. I currently have the garmin earthmate app paired with my Garmin mini for getting myself out of trouble.
I’m looking for an app that can help me find new areas to ride, clearly outline what regions are public land, crown land and private etc. specfic trails would be a cool add on but not a deal breaker. Currently looking at onx Offroad but open to suggestions.
We have a really good ADV community where I live and I set up a ride as an “intro to dirt” to try and get that community off the gravel roads. Long story short, some awesome, very experienced guys on dual sports ended up showing me a few new places I wasn’t sure I’d be able to get the bike through.
Such a fun way to spend a Thursday night!
I’ve got a long trip coming up soon and needed to figure out how the bike handled being geared up, and testing the fuel range with the fuel bladder.
Bike handled great, the fuel bladder was stable enough on the back and will get emptied into the tank as soon as I get through the first half of the tank.
Fits everything I need for a multi day off-road trip!
I intended to test the highway mileage but couldn’t resist driving into my old dirtbiking trails.
Proof of concept, I’ve made a new version now with all the text re-typed and corrected.
While a bit bored today, I came across a post on a different forum of someone’s AI built illustration of their bike and build (I’ll put the original in the comments) . Loved the idea, and with some photoshop skills I decided to make one too.
Used AI to create the template, and about 8 different versions of it because it could never get all the different elements right in the same image.
