Product Information

Full details

The MotoZ Tractionator RALLZ Rear Tyre (170/60B17 - 72Q) is for adventure riders seeking superior off-road traction in varied weather conditions while maintaining acceptable on-road performance. Its key benefit is dependable grip across diverse terrains, from desert to forest trails. A potential caveat is its aggressive tread pattern, which may offer a different on-road feel compared to more road-biased tires. This tyre builds on the popular Tractionator Adventure with a more aggressive design for enhanced off-road capability in all conditions, featuring a self-cleaning tread and a hybrid compound with silica for optimal grip.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the RALLZ tyre over the standard Tractionator Adventure?

The RALLZ features a more aggressive tread pattern specifically designed for superior off-road traction in a wider variety of extreme conditions, including mud and snow, while the Adventure offers a more balanced on-road/off-road compromise.

Can I use this tyre for 100% road riding?

While it offers reasonable on-road manners, it is primarily designed for off-road performance. Extensive or high-speed road use may lead to faster wear and a less refined on-road experience compared to a dedicated street tire.

What does 'self-cleaning' and 'self-sharpening' tread mean?

Self-cleaning refers to the tread blocks being spaced to shed mud and debris efficiently. Self-sharpening means the tread edges maintain their biting capability as the tire wears, ensuring consistent grip.

Is this a tubeless or tube-type tyre?

The RALLZ is available in various Tube Type (TT) adventure sizes. Users should ensure they are using the correct inner tube for the tyre size and rim type.

What conditions is the hybrid compound with silica best suited for?

The hybrid compound with silica provides optimal grip in challenging conditions such as mud and snow, offering enhanced traction and stability.

How does the RALLZ perform in desert conditions?

The aggressive, self-cleaning tread pattern is excellent for desert terrain, providing consistent grip and preventing power loss in sandy or loose conditions.

Do I need to change my tyre pressure when switching between on-road and off-road?

One of the design benefits is that you can often use the same tire pressure for both on-road and off-road use, offering convenience for adventure riding.

Troubleshooting

Tyre appears to be unbalanced

Ensure the wheel rim is clean and the tyre is correctly seated. Re-balancing by a professional may be required.

Reduced off-road grip after initial use

The self-cleaning tread pattern should manage debris. Ensure there are no blockages in the tread voids. Check for excessive wear.

Excessive road noise

This is characteristic of aggressive off-road tread patterns. Ensure correct tire pressure is maintained, which can slightly influence noise levels.

Tyre shows rapid wear on pavement

This tyre is optimized for off-road. Minimize prolonged high-speed pavement use to preserve tread life. Ensure correct tire pressures are maintained.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional off-road grip in challenging conditions.
  • Versatile performance for diverse terrains and weather.
  • Durable construction suitable for adventure and rally riding.
  • Self-cleaning and self-sharpening tread enhances predictability.
  • Can be used without changing tire pressures between on-road and off-road.

Cons

  • More aggressive tread may result in increased road noise.
  • On-road grip might be slightly less refined than dedicated street tires.
  • Tread wear may be faster on extensive pavement use due to its aggressive nature.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This tyre is designed for standard motorcycle rim fitment. Ensure your rim size matches the tyre's specification (17-inch rear rim for this 170/60B17 tyre). Professional installation by a qualified mechanic is recommended to ensure proper seating and safety.

Compatibility:

This is a rear tyre with a 72Q speed and load rating. Always ensure this rating meets or exceeds your motorcycle's requirements and is compatible with local regulations. It is available in various Tube Type (TT) adventure sizes, suitable for lighter adventure bikes.

Care:

Regularly inspect the tyre for wear, damage, and embedded objects. Maintain correct tire pressures as recommended by your motorcycle manufacturer and MotoZ for optimal performance and longevity. Clean the tyre with mild soap and water if necessary; avoid harsh chemicals. For extended on-road use, monitor tread wear closely as the aggressive pattern may wear faster on pavement.
