Product Information

Full details

This Shinko E804/E805 rear tyre is designed for adventure riders who split their time between on-road and off-road terrain, offering a balanced 40% on-road and 60% off-road capability. Its key benefit is providing superior on-road handling and mileage while maintaining stable sidewalls for soft off-road surfaces, utilizing the latest Big-Block Technology. A potential caveat is that the 60% off-road bias might mean slightly less optimal performance for riders who predominantly stay on pavement.

FAQs

What does 'TL 69Q 140/80-17' mean?

TL stands for Tubeless. 69 is the load index, indicating the maximum weight the tyre can carry. Q is the speed rating, indicating the maximum speed the tyre can sustain. 140/80-17 specifies the tyre's width (140mm), aspect ratio (80% of width), and rim diameter (17 inches).

Is this tyre suitable for 100% on-road use?

While it offers superior on-road handling and mileage, it's optimized for a 40% on-road / 60% off-road split. For exclusive on-road use, a tire designed purely for pavement might offer slightly better performance characteristics.

What is 'Big-Block Technology'?

This refers to Shinko's advanced tread design, featuring larger, more aggressive blocks that provide enhanced grip, stability, and performance, particularly in mixed terrain conditions.

Can I use this tyre in winter conditions?

Yes, the tyre is rated M+S (Mud and Snow), indicating it is designed to offer reliable performance in these conditions.

How often should I check my tyre pressure?

It's recommended to check tyre pressure before every ride, or at least weekly, and always when the tyres are cold.

What is the expected lifespan of this tyre?

Tyre lifespan varies greatly depending on riding habits, terrain, load, and maintenance. However, its design prioritizes good mileage for on-road use.

Troubleshooting

Tyre shows signs of rapid or uneven wear.

Ensure correct tyre pressure is maintained, as under or over-inflation can cause premature wear. Verify wheel alignment and consider your riding style (e.g., frequent hard acceleration/braking).

Reduced grip on wet or muddy surfaces.

Check tyre pressure and ensure the M+S tread pattern is not excessively clogged. Clean the tyre. For significantly challenging conditions, consider the limitations of a dual-sport tire versus a dedicated off-road tire.

Vibration or instability at higher speeds.

Verify the tyre has been balanced correctly during installation. Check for any damage or bulges on the tyre sidewall or tread. Ensure the tyre is seated properly on the rim.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile performance for mixed riding conditions.
  • Good on-road handling and wear characteristics.
  • Stable in off-road environments, especially on softer ground.
  • Durable construction with advanced Big-Block Technology.
  • All-weather capability due to Mud and Snow rating.

Cons

  • May not be ideal for riders who exclusively ride on-road.
  • Off-road traction might be less aggressive than dedicated knobby tires.
  • Sidewall stability on very soft terrain might still be a compromise compared to pure off-road tires.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a tubeless (TL) tyre. Ensure proper mounting by a qualified technician to match the tyre's rotational direction as indicated on the sidewall. Always adhere to the manufacturer's recommended tyre pressures for your specific motorcycle model and load.

Compatibility: The Shinko E804/E805 is specifically designed as a rear tyre with the following specifications: TL 69Q 140/80-17. Always confirm that these specifications match your motorcycle's requirements and rim size before installation.

Care: Regularly inspect the tyre for any signs of damage, embedded objects, or excessive wear. Maintain correct tyre pressure for optimal performance, safety, and longevity. Clean the tyre periodically with mild soap and water to remove dirt and debris that could affect grip or accelerate wear.
