Tracked down some more pics... looks the stuff but only comes in these sizes: "Available in April, in one dimension (front: 120/70 R 19 Rear: 170/60 R 17), the Anakee Wild is a version of clinging Anakee 3. This tire should equip the imminent OE BMW R1200GS Adventure liquid cooling..."
Low profile tire on a very heavy bike riding on rocky terrain, :huh Looks like were going to be seeing plenty of tweaked rims on the new GS.
Other pics! http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/402/1...chelin-Anakee-III-Motorcycle-Tire-Review.aspx Tried the k60's and this year just got a new set of Mitas e07... Great to have more choices of 50/50 tires Next year... Michelin Wild or the new Karoo? Not sure yet!
Yea why the f is it a 170 profile? Is that what the new GS takes? They went in the wrong direction there, I'd like to have seen a 140/18 and 21" front at least as optional.
The new Ducati Multistrada is a 170 I think and the new BMW and KTM so its likely made for the masses. Might be good might not. The new Karoo looks pretty nice but I just put on my first TKC's and they are awesome... so hope they don't change. Dean
I don't see why not. TKCs can go well over 3k and they are bias. These are radials and will have a bit larger contact patch so I don't see why they wouldn't.
I wonder about their speed rating. TKC-80 have very low speed rating, Karoo 3 (coming soon) are said to have a more comfortable speed rating.
Wow missed that for the MS... it is a 190 tire. Mega pseudo adventurer... but really these days.... that is open for interpretation.
Indeed... Yet I think new GS still has it in the right hands... <object width="560" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/QbzdD9JJ6eg?hl=el_GR&version=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/QbzdD9JJ6eg?hl=el_GR&version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object> (uber wild - esp. as the video progresses) <object width="560" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/GSurk3yIMDg?hl=el_GR&version=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/GSurk3yIMDg?hl=el_GR&version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object> (speed run) <object width="560" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1iBTj3Fd8gs?version=3&hl=el_GR"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1iBTj3Fd8gs?version=3&hl=el_GR" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>
