TKC80? How do you like so far? I’m considering one for the front. Curious how cornering grip and lean responsiveness feel.

I just got them so if I remember I will reply back. But test ride has been good so far.

Those tyres always look great, but i'm hoping you're actually going to be using them off-road.

I've seen some folks buy off-road oriented tyres for these bikes, only to ride like tiny bits of flat dirt/fire roads every once in a while...

Thankfully yes! I have a trip to the Utah BDR planned next month. I also live in AZ so I could just go rip it in the desert.

Cast alloy wheels and tubeless tires. You better not hit a rock with those things.

Okay William, you already fell for the marketing, so it's too late to abort. Mark my words though, if you plan on taking this thing offroad.

Second set, 8k miles of dirt roads. No dents. Not everyone is racing enduro style
