I used the trailmax mission on the Labrador trip . A surprisingly good road performer considering the look of the tread . No problem on gravel or dirt roads and good in the mud too . It’s the new kid on the block but it’s pretty serious .I like getting off the beating path for sure, used to enjof giving it heck but older now so a good moderate to slightly technical off road would best describe my riding style..
Good to Know, thanks..I used the trailmax mission on the Labrador trip . A surprisingly good road performer considering the look of the tread . No problem on gravel or dirt roads and good in the mud too . It’s the new kid on the block but it’s pretty serious .
Think the front should be aggressive enough. The rear is less so to allow some slip for powering out of corners.I have heard positive things about the Dunlop Trailmax Missions too. Much better tire for longevity, but not as effective off pavement.
Year before last the skin on my fingers was splitting badly and had to be taped to keep them from bleeding . This is often a sure sign of a poor grip which leads to things heading in the wrong direction and the stress put on the fingers as the hands try to correct the mistakes at the last moment . By making swing and grip adjustments I’ve reduced my finger pain and lowered my score as well .Think the front should be aggressive enough. The rear is less so to allow some slip for powering out of corners.
You could alway try one on the front or back(whichever needs replacing first) to see if you like them.
Tires are like anything and subject to one's own opinion.
Have had them on my Tiger Explorer for almost 10K kms(6K miles) and off road quite a few times as well as two up touring and very pleased with them, I will easily get another 6-7 K kms out of them. I don't push my 600 lb bike hard when off road, 'cause I don't like replacing expensive parts, and I take longer the heal these days.
