Motorcycle Tires - Dual Sport & Adventure Tires

Dual sport and adventure motorcycle tires have to do two jobs at once: hold a line on pavement and still find grip when the pavement runs out. Shop dual sport tires from Bridgestone, Dunlop, Metzeler, Michelin, Mitas and Shinko, including 90/10 road-biased tires, true 50/50 dual purpose tires and aggressive knobby adventure tires for Canadian riders.

Pick by the split you actually ride, not the trip you are planning. A 90/10 tire wears far longer and stays quiet and predictable on the highway, which is right for riders who see gravel only occasionally. A 50/50 tire trades highway life for real bite in dirt and loose gravel. A 20/80 knobby is the choice for logging roads and trail work, but expect fast wear and more noise on pavement. Check the size and load rating on your current sidewall, and confirm whether your rims are tube-type or tubeless before ordering.

Frequently asked questions

What does 50/50 mean on a dual sport tire? It is the rough split between on-road and off-road ability. A 50/50 tire balances pavement grip and dirt traction, while 90/10 leans to the road and 20/80 leans to the trail.

How long do adventure motorcycle tires last? Road-biased dual sport tires often run several thousand kilometres more than knobby adventure tires. The more aggressive the tread, the faster it wears on pavement.
