Info

The tyre behaves on dry roads and offers sure footing. In fact we’d say that its actually quite good. According to Michelin this was the first Radial Adventure tyre on the market. Radial tyres dissipate heat better than bias-ply tyres, which allows them to travel at higher speeds for greater distance while offering more comfort and improved feel and handling. Interesting. And then, we hit a section of wet tar.... and that all changed, like any aggressive adventure tyre that’s not really very much fun. Of course, the biggest advantage in fitting a tyre like this is in the dirt where you need traction and that’s where this one is a really great option. If you live on a farm with a long gravel driveway or a long gravel road into town then this is a tyre that you should be looking at. Heading out into the Karoo to explore our vast networks of gravel? Great option. And when the going gets tough and you have to get to the top of that mountain to collect a mutton chop that has gone astray, you are going to need some traction. And this one delivers that in bucketloads. Off-Road Riding: A week after fitment, Kyle attended the Honda Quest Pre-Qualifier. Now, this was basically a test to see who could ride through thick sand. M AFF A S H “I didn’t come across any issues. Rolled on and within a few meters, I was on top of the sand carrying on as if I was on a dirt bike. Between the sand sections, we did a few tight and twisty bits through some trees. This is where I really found the advantage of this tyre. If there was a slight rut or berm I could comfortably throw the bike into it and roll out with ease. I can tell you right now that with the more street oriented tyres that the bike came with it would not have been much fun.” “When we did the photoshoot for this article we went out to our local MX track and messed around. This is where we test some of the dirt bikes we get. A few moments in I thought I was Toni Bou doing things on this bike that I would normally do on a dirt bike. The Honda is a really balanced machine and when you whip her in anger she becomes a lot of fun. The one thing about the Anakee Wild Tyres is they have an enduro background. So to put it into perspective. The Wilds are adventure tyres with enduro characteristics. They haven’t only focused on the off-road part and lost focus on the road side. The Wilds have a strong carcass just like their enduro competition tyres. To test this I dropped the tyre pressure on the rear to 1,2bar and did some rock riding. Not Roof stuff but pretty hardcore for a big bike. The tyres moulded over the rocks and the grip was very impressive. This goes to show that you don’t always need soft knobblies to climb rocks. It comes down to the carcass and how mouldable the tyre is. If the bike didn’t weigh 200kilos you wouldn’t say you were on an adv bike.” “On the faster open gravel roads, the feedback is great. We rode some real hardpack rocky roads as well as thick sandy patches. You don’t get the feeling of a head shake at all even after hitting a lurker. It’s a great option for any gravel.” Conclusion We were asked, (told), to really put these tyres through their paces. Ride hard and give a honest response. We were asked to do wheelies, ride rocks, thick sand and really bad gravel roads, and tar, so that’s we did. 4000 kays so far. That’s 4000 hard kays. The rear tyre shows signs of HARD abusive riding, but looking at the wear so far, we reckon it’s still good for another 2000 kays odd. The front tyre is still in pretty good nick. We reckon you’ll be running 2 rears for every front you fit. The Anakee wild tyres are not enduro tyres fitted onto an adv bike. They are proper adv tyres with pretty serious enduro characteristics. They make your bike look very aggressive. Mileage - 4000 kays of really hard riding so far. It won’t last as long as a less aggressive tyre, but it’s a lot more than we expected. Performance - Impressive considering it is a 70/30 off road bias tyre. Just fine on the road and really good in the dirt. At your dealer.
