Tread carefully – Adventure Tractionators

This entry is part 11 of 17 in the series Adventure Rider Issue #20

Can an Australian company produce a great adventure-bike tyre? If anyone can make it happen, Rick Atkinson and Motoz can.

There’s a few tread patterns available in the Motoz Adventure range. This one on the rear of the editor’s KLR is an aggressive Desert H/T. It’s a tyre that’s getting great reviews.

Some people lose themselves in imag-es of immaculately restored vintage bikes or go gooey at the specs on the latest Dakar bike. Rick Atkinson, an automotive engineer based on Sydney’s north-ern beaches, gets very, very focussed when it comes to tyre moulds. There’s nothing like a really well-sorted tyre production line to get Rick feeling really content.
