    I've just found your channel and have subscribed, waiting on my ktm 1090 advr to arrive so I can start some green laning and adventure riding. Nice to see you have a 990 🤩... I see you run Mitas tyres, how do you rate them? Especially in wet conditions!?...

    • @OllieMoto
      @OllieMoto  3 місяці тому +1

      Sounds ace buddy! Those 1090’s are good bikes. Are you taking about the E09? If so I think it’s a great tyre. As for the wet, if you mean on tarmac, I’d argue all 80/20 tyres suck on wet tarmac 😂 The E09 seems stable enough for me though.

      @@OllieMoto thanks for the reply, I am looking at the new trail + Dakar which is supposed to be good in our muddy conditions... I'm planning on doing the ACT in Wales in August or September so getting organised before the bike arrives 😃.

    • @OllieMoto
      @OllieMoto  3 місяці тому +1

      The Enduro Trail +? That’s the new name for the E07 I believe. I’d call it (the E07) more of a 50/50 tyre, but I’ve heard the ACT isn’t always too gnarly so you should be ok. I used the E07 for my Road to Morocco series and it did great. As for the Dakar version, a lot of my riding circles just go standard because the Dakar is pretty difficult to get off a rim if you get a puncture, due to it being stiffer. Just food for thought. Enjoy the trip! 👍🏻
