Tires are the most expensive part of our bikes we change out on a regular basis, and so it’s in our and the manufacturers’ best interest that we get the most bang for our buck. And nowhere is this more true than with ADV bikes, especially those with an inclination for off-road performance.
Tire tech has advanced leaps and bounds in recent years, with new manufacturing processes and multi-compound constructions making tires safer than ever before. And the same is true in the dual-sport and ADV segment, with tires now more capable both on and off-road than ever before.
Throughout the decades, the Continental TKC80 has set the standard, fitted on ADV bikes as both standard equipment and aftermarket options. These tires have become renowned for their performance in all sorts of terrain, but in recent years, not so much for their durability.
