Damn FDB - is there any dirt in your country, or is it all rock and scrub brush...lol.
Looks like a tough ride, can't imagine what a hard ride looks like.
What brand/model tires do you run to ride in that stuff? Have you ever tried running a trials tire with all that rock?
Cool video, really like the perspective from the exhaust - shows how hard a workout the suspension/forks get.
No there are plenty varied terrain here. We just choose to for some sick reason go find the most rocks and ride them.
I run Mitas.
So far the best combo i could find was the EF07 yellow and EF06 Yellow with Tubliss. I go big on the rear 140/80 is my choice.
It grips very well, and it lasts. I choose the yellow stripe because it is a 4 ply tire that i can plug very easily if i get a cut or a puncture. I had a cut about 1.2cm long and it plugged just fine. Still running that tire.
If i run mousses (Which i absolutely hate compared to tubliss), i would go for the green stripe. They are 3 ply, but are more gummy, They don't last as long though. You do get the double green too which is like a marshmallow.
Pirelli makes a great tire too. I think it is the Scorpion. One of them is nice and soft compound. But i trust the Mitas with the tubliss system most as they have never let me down and teh grip is just amazing. (And obviously i don't ever have to replace the Tubliss system like i have to with mousses)
But i have to say..
I'm changing the front tire to the Metzeller Sixdays 90/100 21 to see what it does. (Its a fatty tire). Had my eye on the Goldentyre GT 216aa 90/100 21 but just cannot find one here. I will give some feedback once i did a ride on it if you guys want?
I have not run trials tires no. They are not allowed in the races. I would not mind trying those maxxis hybrids that come stock on a KTM freeride. But that would just be for playing around. Can't race with them and i don't think they will last more than a few rides either.
