Was that the conclusion? Now I’d say the standard MT60’s are great all rounders but not the outright best for grip. I fitted some Metzler Z8 interacts to my last Scrambler and they were way better. Lighter, quicker turning and felt gripper in dry and wet. Also much less harsh...Hi Josh. Welcome back. I remember last time we had some discussions on tyres and came to the conclusion the OEMs were some of the most grippy available. What is on this bike and how do they compare?
Needs a clean and parts polishing up. Looks like it was last ridden in bad weather and then not used since. Bit of corrosion here or there... nothing that can’t be sorted out. Will give me something to do!Nice bike, why grotty? You mean running lean or needs a clean?
Thanks! Yeah about that... once summer is done with, I’ll be stripping the tank and re-painting it. Haven’t quite settled what yet though...Welcome back. Glad to see you chose the proper colour this time![]()
I thought it was. Good to know as I want a road looking tyre but am not prepared to sacrifice any grip.Was that the conclusion? ........ I’ll report back on how they compare.
Highly recommend the Metzler Z8's. It was an experienced guy at the Duc dealership who advised me to try them. Transformed the bike. It wasn't just the grip, the bike became much more nimble and it softened the harsh ride quality. the MT-60's seem very stiff and heavy.I thought it was. Good to know as I want a road looking tyre but am not prepared to sacrifice any grip.
Cheers. Seems 16 months is a long as I could stay away!Hey Josh good to have you back![]()
I’m actually excited for youNot long now... bike arrives Wednesday!
Coming with a fresh desmo service & MOT done.
Got new front brake pads on the way. Gives me a chance to check the caliper and seals out.
Can of black plasti-dip waiting to spray the tank panels and headlight surround.
Bar end mirrors leftover from the last Scrambler.
Can't wait!
Thanks! Every time I look at the Hyper I’m sad it’s going but I reckon a bit draw of the Scrambler is the easy customisation.I’m actually excited for you
