Been shopping around for 2 days. I went back and forth between Anakee Adv, shinko 705, karoos. This video did it for me. Bought them last night
good move, awesome tires!
Thumbs up for promoting Fort9's. It's a rare sight :)
Your review is very exciting. I chose Pirelli Scorpion Rally str tires to install on my beloved Suzuki V-Strom 650XT. Your video was the final deciding factor. Thank you for the wonderful video. A message of gratitude from an ordinary Japanese rider.
I had these on my ducati scrambler and they were GREAT in the corners. I couldn't believe the level of confidence near full lean.
Great review. Yes! You convinced me. Gonna change to this set of tires soon on my Triumph Adventure! Thanks!
What a great review!!! Thanks a lot. I bought them as well, so hyped to stick them on the bike!! Muchas gracias
Pleasure man!
finally a great review, everything was explained, thank you. grippy, great in corners, good on dirt, great at speeds , thats all i need. ride safe brother
I'm sold, going to get these when I replace my tires. I do gravel pretty often and I love exploring a bit.
Thanks for the review
There’s so much coolness in these videos! Getting the STRs for my INT650!
What size front and rear? I was thinking fr: 120/70/18, rr: 150/70/18
Love them on my Svart, soon to get them on my R9T for the colder months coming. I will let you know how it goes. Great review!
Greetings from Finland! Great video and a nice review! I’m going to buy them for my SE Bonnie street scrambler.
Great and detailed review 👍🏼 I will go for this tyre for my Interceptor 650. Looks and performs amazing 👌🏼
Man it’ll be a perfect fit! Will not disappoint
Love cornering as well but want the rugged look! Pushed me over the edge ! Mine arrive tomorrow ! Thank you !
Purchased a set of these from Revzilla based on your review for my 2014 Harley Sportster Superlow 883XL. My mechanic wasn't keen on them for a sportster but after putting them on he just called me and said they look and ride SICK!!!!! Super happy with them!!!
Thanks for the info, mate. Finally decided to buy these tyres today
Glad I could help!
Great review!
Great review mate, getting Scorpion rally str on the street scrambler soon, can't wait, had shinko 804 before, really amazing too,good on corners too way way better than stock.
Glad to hear it man! You won't be dissapointed!
You have fixed my migraines and sold me on these tyres i was looking at TKC80 tyres for my bonneville project cheers mate great video
same here!
Man, your studio setup is goals. These videos are A1 too. Good stuff brotha, be safe.
Thanks! You too!
Great vid, good comparisson, excellent production!
G'day, mate! From Navarra, Spain...your cornering land✌👌
Definitely flinging these on my FTR1200s - they look the shit and your video confirmed everything that I've learnt to date about this rubber. Always liked Pirelli's.
Great channel discovered it through researching the Rally STRs. Subscribed.
I'm looking at getting a bike soon and wanting to be able to go off-road when I need to. Thanks for the information 👍
Great video! Had these tires on 2 bikes now. They are great in every situation.
I love them hey! Such a good all rounder and look dope!
I've just ordered them for my dorsoduro because of your video. Cheers.
Glad to hear it man! You’ll be stoked
Very detailed.. Great video bro.. Made my decision to go with this for my Multistrada 👍🏼
I still have the metzlers on my SS. I think you've convinced me. I want to keep up with wifey on her svartpilen but I do also love my corners.
Well done matey
You’ll be able to do just that with these! Pleasure man!
Good video mate I put them on my GS and I am super happy with them. It's no problem to scrape pegs on both sides with these tires.
Thanks for the great review! Well, you got me convinced, I'm gonna get these Pirellis for my F 700 GS. ;) Hope I'll have as much fun as you with the Triumph!
Cheers mate. Good honest review. Enjoy
Nice review, looking for my next tyres for my 2018 Tiger 800 XCa and these are definitely on my list as I do around 70/80 road and 20/30 offroad stuff. Another tyre is the Metzeler Karoo Street (similar to Rally STR, come off the same fabric) or maybe the Dunlop Trailmax Mission or maybe the Conti TKC 70 Rocks. I already got the normal Conti TKC 70 and Michelin Anakee Adventure which were also fine tyres. Anyway keep up the good work!
Thanks for the advice in your video on these. Got me over the line, just booked my Street Twin in to get a pair of these on them ready for the great british summer! Or not! Cheers
Great review mate👍 and congrats to Vinny!
Thanks heaps man 🙏🙏
Legend, i'm going for these as my next set for sure.
You’ll dig them bro!
I've got these on my v-strom650 & I agree with your review 100%.
Thanks heaps man!
Yeah you did. I was confused for weeks between the Anakee adventure, Metzeler karoo and then found this video . Def going for the Pirellis now. They look sick
Bloody great. Just ordered a set for my 2015 Vstrom 1000. 👍👍👍
I have done about 20,000kms on mine on my VERSYS 300X, just come back from 18 days in Laos in rainy season, lots of big potholes, lots of weaving trying to avoid them, also quite a lot of mud, very slimy and soft, also various avalanches, loose stones and rocks to avoid, overall glad I had them, my two rider colleagues had MT 60’s , they each had punctures same day but not the rally’s. Getting ready for 4000kms around Vietnam in December, think I will buy another set first. Great video.
Thanks for the nice review 😉
My pleasure man
Yes, you got me over the line ... waiting for my current tyres to wear out first
Haha stoked to hear it man! You’ll dig them
I’m on my 3rd set going to put the next set on my 1250 gsa next week good video 👍
Thanks heaps man! They don’t disappoint hey
Bro, I have to agree, I love Fortnine content as well. He provides a very entertaining video... However, do not talk yourself down, your content is “The Titties” - No seriously, your content is freaking awesome. I look forward to every Sunday night for the new videos to be released. You’re a legend brother. Hey from Qld. Ps. Those Tyres are for me and will get them when I get my Scrambler...
Thanks heaps bro - I really appreciate this 🙏🙏
Haha yea dude get amongst them - they truly are the the absolute titties!
@@MotoFeelz haha, love it... Just speaking the truth brother... Keep bringing it! You’re building an awesome community.
Seriously great vid. 👍
Nice review!
Thank you!
Well done man!
Thanks bro 🙏
totally SOLD, just changed the front to STR, need some more money will put STR in the rear...Great Review!
Nice man! Glad to help!
I've got these on my scrambler 1200 XE. Great road tyre, back hooks up well offroad BUT if you push hard on the dirt the front gets sketchy. Its always a compromise, great onroad performance you have to trade off-road I suppose. Excellent review Mate.
Coming off a set of Avon Trailriders. They were good tires for touring and canyon carving and a gravel road here and there. They wear the center strip pretty fast on highways, which unfortunately is hard to avoid around here to get out of town. I think you sold me on these STRs though. Sound like they have a similar vibe but a little more panache and more dirt capable. I still love my on road cornering too and want something that feels safe in the wet (which the Avon's did well) and these sound like they'll do the trick.
Going on 2012 Air cooled Triumph scrambler for me. I might got with the wider front as well... gives a really good look. Thanks for the review!
I'm considering the Trailriders for my Guzzi Griso for eastatics/scrambler style. Makes it appear even more bold as it is now. greets!
You're ridiculous, this channel is ridiculous, I'm subscribing!
Haha thanks heaps 😊
Let me tell you dude, you did push me over the line of purchasing Husqvarna Svartpilen with scorpions it has in stock version. Cheers. Thank you!
Haha amazing! You won’t be disappointed 🙏🙏
Haha awesome! Keep on rolling mate!
Thanks heaps dude !
Those scorpions look nice, I am looking to change my tyres in June, currently on OEM triumph tiger900 tyres which are pretty much a road focus tyre, which is fine for now and for the next few months. I have only done 667 miles but hoping to get a few thousand more when I bring the bike out to Germany with me (mountains near me YAY!!) and then change them up before the “Adventure Bike Rider festival” at the end of June, so will likely put on the battle axe tyres, as has been advised by others. You mentioned temperatures down to 7 degrees C, but being in the UK and Northern Europe that could be a normal spring day 😂.
Was a shame the competition was not world wide, the stuff looks so cool.
Keep up the great content and the wheels turning.
Ian
Back on Two Wheels
Thank heaps man! I’ll have to check them out!
And yea I don’t know how you guys deal with the weather there haha. I’ll defs get some international prizes going in future 👊
@@MotoFeelz cool man, just don’t make it sun block eh! 😂
Everyone’s got a tenere, 890, or a bmw. I’m loving that you’re doing off-road stuff with this bike..
it's not reaaaalllly made for it.. but i make it work haha
Awesome Studio Setup... Content is Amazing and I don't even own a bike😂😂
Good tyre. Rolls edge to edge so much better than the stock tourance. I hit a roundabout after first fit and nearly ended up in the middle it turned that sharp. Rear hooks up well off road....front..that's a yeah nah. Great on road, tends to wash sideways in wet or loose. I'd go more aggressive on the front for off-road. My new 1200 is begging for new shoes after the Kroombit tops ride
good sell man, good video appericate it
Thanks heaps dude 🙏🙏
The Metzeler Tourance is a really good tire for street and rain. Very robust, very grippy and also attractive, not hard at all, like you say. It is a 95% on road tire and the Pirelli's should be near perfect for your type of riding.
You Rock Papi!
🤘🤘
Had them on my Ténéré 700, quite decent tyres in many conditions, as long as it's not too muddy. And they last forever, I changed my set after 21.155 kms...
Great review ! I remember the video where you put the first set on your bike and did a burn out with your old tire hahaha. I watched it back when I was comparing tires. I chose the Rally STRs too and I absolutely love them. They never scared me or did anything weird. I haven’t really tried them offroad yet.
I would recommend them for anyone who is looking for scrambler tires.
Also had a question, what drone are you using in some of the shots from the roadtrip ?
Yea man they’re a dope tyre! Have a little crack at some fire trails, they work nicely.
Mavic Mini bro
Great videos man! Can you tell me what size tires you're using? Thought I heard you say you were using a bigger size. Thanks!
Just fitted a set to my Tiger 800 pretty impressed after my first ride will be fitted then to my T120 soon.
What pressure do you run them at ?
Great review BTW
Nice review. thinking of puting this on a Yamaha Tenere ADV bike , i usually ride road, would you recommend?
I have them on my svartpilen 401 and they are great in canyon roads !
I wish we had canyon roads
Great review, spot on! I love my Pirelli Scorpion Rally STRs and about to get my 2nd set of them for my Street Scambler...they are decent offroad and absolutely brilliant in the twisties!! @motofeelz what is that black chain + black back sprocket you're running on your SS?
They’re so good!
I had the sprocket powder coated, but they’re basically off the Bobber Black. 525 pitch instead of the stock 520 - gives you more options 👊
@@MotoFeelz Right on, thx!!
Hey,
Thank you for this review. It's amazing. I've always had the Tourance Metzlers on my F650GS Twin and replaced them with the Trailmax Missions which give me a death ruble at 80mph+.
I'm contemplating between the Anakee Adventure, Scorpion Rally STR, or getting the Metzlers back.
Have you got any experience with the Adventures, and how do the Scorpions compare with the Metzlers in the mud in particular in your opinion?
I have this tyres on svartpilen its great both roads 👌
Metzeler Tourance are nice set of tires. Never got a puncture in my 26k km riding till now.
Thinking about these for my drz400sm
I have the Fantic Caballero Scrambler 500 and they are road racing tires. They handle turns at speeds. You are glued to the ground even on a 150 kilo motorcycle. I had a Lexus try to lose me In the mountains. They failed but I had this sensation from the vblocity of my helmet wanting to come off my head. Luckily for chin straps. Those are wicked tires and my motorcycle supposed to be in dual purpose. But those tires especially the backone is so fat and the ride is so smooth. If you don't want nobbies on your motorcycle and you still want to be able to do some dirt riding I would suggest these The perelli scorpion it's an awesome motorcycle tire. He is 100% correct. I habe abdominal injury so I cannot do much off road unless standing on the pegs. Mine are 2020 maybe a little different but total traction and handling. My motorcycle only has 400 km on it so I'm not comfortable yet doing a burnout but on my G TLI went to eagle GT's $400 apiece so often with 467 rear wheel HP. This moto is my baby and the tires make the 🏍
Hi excellent video.
How much pressure do you use on that tires?
Just ordered a set for my MT07. I live on a dirt road, so every ride starts and ends on dirt. I didn't want to hurt my street performance, but wanted a bit more grip. I ride the stock tires way beyond their design off road. I want to swap them before it bites me. 😆 it's only a matter of time. Growing old is mandatory. Growing up is optional.
Have you tried them? I’ve got a Kawasaki Z 400 .Can they be tubeless?
A bit late to this review! I put a pair of STRs on my new Transalp 2,400 kms ago, also in (South) Australia, and got a bit of a shock with the price (in late 2023). A 'Pirelli guy' for decades, wanting about 70% - 30% road/off-road, so the choice was easy. I am riding this bike fairly gently, now at 70 y. o (and after 61 years riding) but I am looking at a fair bit of wear already on the rear for this short mileage. And they cost more than the last set of Pirelli 'stickies' I put on my Ducati sports bike (its 27th set) with the 190 rear, where the Honda's is only a 150...
So I was disappointed to notice that the front Pirelli STR was made in Indonesia, and the rear in China! In other parts of the world (Europe) they get STRs made in Brazil apparently. (You don't say where your 2020 ones came from). I wouldn't mind, except that they charge Italian prices for them! I find the tyres work fine, as you say, on bitumen or gravel, but some mention of tyre pressures may be worth including in a tyre test.
But I take some encouragement from the distance you have achieved with them. I can't see me getting anywhere near that, given the visible wear on the rear at present, but hopefully they won't be finished by 4,000 kms, as I was starting to wonder, with a bit of a trip planned. Thanks for your test. I shall ride on with optimism, in light of your feedback, and see how long they last. The standard Dunlop rear was pretty finished at 5,000 kms, which included conservative running in, so we shall see.
Ive ran scorpions on and off my trail bikes for years, good quaulity keep finding myself back to them👌
Off topic rob, but how do you find your white lanesplit helmet for high speed noise? Considering one for myself ..🤔 cheers
Yea man, i don't think i'll swap them out. If it ain't broke don't fix it!
Honestly i really don't like it. It's the heaviest lid out of the bunch i own (minus the Predator haha) is noisy and the material is substandard. All IMO of course
@@MotoFeelz ahh right thanks mate. Might keep looking then. Cheers
Hey mate- nice review and fuck me dead you sure love your cornering- just like me LOL - no chicken strips hahaha- well just letting you know your review match what I see elsewhere and for my riding style on my KTM 390 Adv these tires are what I want to have- I have had the TCK 70 which is what my bike came with and they are also excellent for OUR riding style and milage is very similar- I got 15000 out of the rear and that is riding hard two up and cornering on dry road was a dream- on the wet I am not crazy so same attitude- take it easy no matter what tires- off road the TCK 70's are no match for the Pirelli Scorpion but they do the trick for most light to medium off road stuff- wet grass and mud forget it though-- like most 70/30's I guess. I had the Mitas EO 7+ after the Continental TCK 70's and was disappointed in the wear as I only got 5000 out of the rear- which again was due to the fact I mostly ride on road and hard fully loaded- so I guess no big surprise to be fair- riding in the Philippines the roads are warm so that also did not help-
I look forward to getting a set of the the STR's as my next tire of choice- thanks mate and ride safe
cheers Jim
Getting these fitted on my supermoto yam wr400 on ktm 390 wheels (I know abit odd) the lads I work with do alot of green lane work on triumph tigers and big adventure bikes, I did alot of research before going for these as they're definitely not cheap! Be interesting to see what mileage they give on a much lighter bike with more explosive power delivery, after watching the reviews I definitely think theyll suit my riding style alot more than the current rosso 2's as they just plain suck in the wet and the uk is hardly known for glorious sunshine...
I’m switching to these tires on my BMW R1100R. Do you run the same air pressure on these tires, as you do on street tires? My bike calls for 36 PSI front, and 42 PSI rear.
I have the same machine, going for these next. Also, will be going tubeless.
Ah interesting! Would love to hear your thoughts on tubeless
Its worth watching Delboy's garage, he did it on a Tr TT Legend, quite simple and successful.
i think the metzeler karoo street are as good as the pirelli str's and even a bit cheaper..
They are quite similar as well.
Cheers from Ticino (Italian part of Switzerland)
Oh wow I’ll have to check them out! Thanks heaps for that 🙏👊
@@MotoFeelz ua-cam.com/video/jl4JWWkLwgs/v-deo.html
here they are.. you can have english subs on this video. cheers
Do you think this is good for SV650 3rd gen for a long rides like 10Kms long rides? And what size would be ideal for it? Appreciate your input, mate! :)
I was thinking to buy these tires for my TDM 900, as they are more or less the only adventure tires available for the bloody 18 inch fron wheel. I will get them.
Haha i didn't know this! You'll be happy with them though
I have them on TDM900, at 5000km and have at least that much more..ride is great on and off
Hey brother, what kind of mirrors are those that brand is? On your Yamaha. Thks!
Thought you would be pushing Motoz Adventure... being as your in Oz.
I’m torn between... Bridgestone AX41 and the Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR. Can’t make up my mind ?
Do you have experience on the mt 60 rs?
I looking for an 60/40 or 70/30 and I'm between those 2 tyres
Hi.I have been using metzeler sportec m5 on my 390 duke but am facing with wearing and chipping issues of tire over bad roads here in india in some patches.The only reason limiting me from switching otherwise is the calmness the m5 has over high speed sweeping corners.Can you suggest whether the scorpion rally str would be suited for all these??Never tried semi-offroad tires hence this curiosity.I beleive the pirellis would help me in the bad roads but what about corners and panic braking?
you mention somewhere about a slightly wider tyre is possible on the Street Scrambler, it's my one grudge with the bike and is it true a slightly wider one is an easy fit? If so what width?
Looking forward to buy this for bmw g310r
Helo , great video. I have svartpilen 401 and have this tyres and been also litlle offroad but also circuit and be hot this tyres. But svartpilen been light bike and now i have Honda hornet and i see have dimencion of this tyres also in this size for my hornet. Question is, because i travel a lot 30 thousand km per seasson , how mutch this rally st have life in also your big bike ? i not find this information . Maybe 10000 km is possible whit traveling and litlle offroading ? Thanks
I put these on my BMW 1250 GSA. They are great tires both on and off road. However...they are loud on the freeway from 75-85 mph...painfully so. Also, they can't handle rocky terrain on the big heavy bike. I literally popped the rear twice. It rips in the middle, between the knobs and is NOT repairable. The first time I was being very aggressive, and blamed myself for pushing too hard. The second time, they just flatted...same way..a split in the middle, and I wasn't pushing very hard. The rear is NOT the right tire for an aggressive rider on the big bike, unless you enjoy getting flats. Good luck!
You’re right on spot : So far : 10500 km with my Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tires on my Triumph Tiger 900 GT & i love them. Really sticky on asphalted roads; great for riding, for cornering, sportively in twisties; Very good for gravel roads & for dry forest roads; i will definitely buy another set when they will be dead. Like you said : it’s really not best tires for riding off-road in sand or in mud… I try to avoid both 😉.
Does the 170 60 17 fits on the rear wheel?
Just a question I bet you already answered in previous videos but How tall are you?
I have indeed haha. 5’10”
Hey, what is the tyre size of the STR ypu swap?
Those tires come stock (tubeless) on my Husky Svartpilen. I want to sell my bike to build a bike like yours😁
Haha DO IT! They’re so enjoyable to build
my bike came with these , i took em off at the first service about 500miles
