Craig S Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 My Motoz Tractionator GPS rear with over 7,700km wear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteMoto Posted March 11, 2017 My Rides (2) Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Can't get used to the unique tread pattern,visually, but it sure seems to be wearing nicely! No weird scalloping or edge wear.Is this tire very noisy on pavement? Any freeway speed issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig S Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) It's not a road biased tyre for sure. A friend had it on his AT too and complained the windshield would vibrate at low speeds because of the tread. I've only ever ridden on knobblies so don't notice anything. I had the Tractionator Adventure on before and that howled at speeds. The centre strip of the GPS keeps both the noise and road manners of this tyre, if you pardon the pun, in line...

Administrators Eric Hall Posted March 12, 2017 Author Administrators My Rides (3) Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 The front may fell buzzy the first 100 or so miles but that went away for me. I think you're really going to like them in the dirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteMoto Posted March 12, 2017 My Rides (2) Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 I've got the Tract. Adv front on my 990 , but running the psi only between 24-28 . Knowing what this tire is meant for , I'm not pushing it on pavement at these pressures , it seems plenty firm enough and ready for off-road without really airing down. YMMV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyNuke Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 Initial ride across town impression is that they roll with much less resistance than kenda big blocks. Also the extra meat on them makes It harder to flat foot at a stop and the side stand has a noticably bigger lean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Eric Hall Posted July 29, 2017 Author Administrators My Rides (3) Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 Motoz has some news... Finally we're seeing the 120's and 170's for the BMW LC bikes in the Tractionator Adventure (70/30) as well as the GPS (50/50). They've also come out with the new "Mark 2" or MK2 version of their 21" front Tractionator Adventure. I have to try that one out. 120_170 Motoz Adventure_GPS New Product Release Press.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 Do they mention anywhere what's new about the MK2 front? I had heard some complaints on the forums about the front and have shied away from it so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig S Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 Never read a good thing about the Tractionator Adventure front. I wouldn't use it again either. Last Motoz front I used was the Tractionator Desert H/T which was better off road but also suffered from cupping after too much tarmac. Looking forward to see the MkII. Shows a company listens to its customer feedback. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Eric Hall Posted August 12, 2017 Author Administrators My Rides (3) Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Here it is: the new Tractionator Adventure II or "mark two."Motoz didn't tell me exactly what they did or why. We all suspect the overwhelming feedback on the first gen tire was that it wobbles and weaves too much on pavement. Looking at the more rounded crown tells me that's exactly what they've attempted to address here. The first one seemed to rely too much on the center strip of knobs on pavement and that just wasn't enough surface area to stabilize the bike. This rounded crown now tells me that it's going to settle quite nicely and give it proper big bike manners rather than the small bike knobby weave. Motoz did say they view this mark two version as actually even better off road too.I will test it out on this new Africa Twin that Honda is allowing me to play with for about six weeks and report back. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteMoto Posted August 12, 2017 My Rides (2) Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 The outer knobs appear to retain the same configuration between the two versions. They've oriented the new center knobs differently in relation to the outer knobs with greater separation between the center ones. Maybe a little less depth also. Because of the center knob layout on my ADV 1.0 , I decrease the psi somewhat to get less squirreliness in the feedback. A pretty beefy rugged tire though compared to the oem's that I was running. Better rim protection for sure. Lets see how this version holds up over some mileage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
