Just been looking through Triumph Rat. In their Mod section, you get the usual questions regarding tyres. Like most of us, we want a road tyre but the Yanks want off-road tyres for their 1050. I may be getting it wrong but i see the Tiger 1050/Sport as a road bike only. 17-inch wheels for trail riding?. They seem to use theirs as a trail bikes without any problems. Would you fit off-road tyres to your Tiger and hit the trail?
From what I’ve read I think the majority do those logging roads and fire trails which are more gravel so a bit gentler than the average off-roading over here but they have miles of space. I’d love to do it but somewhere where it’s not overpopulated with horses cyclists and ramblers
.......about the only place in the States as soggy as us is Washington State.......the Everglades and Louisiana Bayou don’t count!
Probably depends on your size and what you have available, not the ideal bike but it’s possible I’m sure there was a guy on here that posted a video of himself in a competition against loads of trials bikes but can’t find it
Yes I remember that. Greenlaning is what the Yanks do they can go thousands of miles and never touch a highway. They seem to have clubs for finding routes.
Jesus, just watched the video, if that's fun ... I'd rather have haemorrhoids! and that's coming from someone who likes to ride off road!
Would have been nice for him/her to stop to help the chap that came off. Even with off road tyres i still wouldn't go off road with cast rims.
