Hello
Still having bucket-loads of fun cruising around on my little supermoto but i want to try taking it down some off-roading trails and such?
Just wondering if anyone has some cheap dual sport tires they can recommend, as i will only be on them until i upgrade to a 125 when I'm 17.
On that note, can anyone recomend any decent (not to steep Very Happy ) trails around Brighton i could take it out for a spin on?

Christ, I forget people born in 1999 can now be out and about on mopeds, even people born in this century! Shocked

Just do it on supermoto tyres, it'll be fine if it's not rained for a day or so. Here's mine in the mud with probably about 5 times the power of yours on skinny little 50/50 tyres, mines the red one, I was slipping a bit but you just ease back a touch and bear the corners in mind.

They're conti-escapes. Not too shabby but a bit expensive for just a couple of months until you can get a nice DT 125 or something Wink

I took a 'race' zx9 down a green lane on track tyres.

Doesn't mean I'd advise it for a new rider to green laning, however!

If your model also comes in an off-road guise, I'd keep an eye out and see if there's some wheels with dirt tyres you can swap on.

hey,as you know our bikes(motard/enduro) have tyres with big wheels,so you can only install tyres for bigger bikes
the best thing that you can do is a tyre with rating ''S'',soft rubber and the date of made as much as possible more recently.
soft ruber has michelin and dunlop
i advise you michelin pilot street if you want 100% road
if you want off road you can buy on/off ones

Take a look at the michelin AC10's. They look like great things to do on and off road on ngl Smile Also what supermoto do you have? I'm currently running the Derbi Senda DRD PRO 50 and its great! Well other than the fact its failed its MOT Confused But alas I will prevail! A few fixes and I will be on the road once again Cool
