Taking your Hyperstrada Off Road

Looks like a must have!

I'm actually struggling if I should choose knobbies for the next tire set. I've made a hundred(ish) kilometers on gravel so far and the Scorpion tire are barely up to the task.

I've taken my hyper a few places I shouldn't be.. There's a powerline that runs through suburbia by me with a long dirt road underneath it. Sometimes I blast down there for fun with the Diablo Rosso tires. For best results, take off ABS and TCS. I have a few motocross friends I plan on tagging along with for some woods trails.
 
Enjoy this thread. I owned a Multi 1200 and 848 but sold them when I moved to Denver. Looking hard at getting the Hyper to go off-road or at least on fire roads. Would you recommend I get the SP for the better suspension and put the Hyper goodies on it for better off roading?
 
Keep in mind the SP suspension is fully adjustable while the others are not. The SP also has higher suspension travel and sits much higher. I bought the base because I figured what I savsd could be used to put new cartridges in the forks.

I Have been thinking about maybe I'll do a set of these..Anakee 3

The rear suspension on the Strada is adjustable and there is cartridge kits available but no real word on how well they work.

See this thread about the cartridges andreani-fork-cartridge

The Strada also has a higher watt output generator to run the accessory plug ports and the handle bar spacers getting them up higher but still lack when standing, I will be adding Rox-risers to mine come spring.

Madduc PM me lets get together you can ride mine if you haven't been on one.

Yup. I've seen these you suggested in another thread. There actually on my potential list. I'll check with my dealer if they have some on the shelves. Thanks. :cool:
 
Im liking these because they give me the potential to dive off the pavement at a moments notice so I can explore what is down that way and conversly i shouldn't lose much street performance.
 
I share your logic. Most of my rides are on the roads but the dirt sections need a bit more grip than what the Scorpions can offer.
 
Like many others on here, I wanted better tires for some fire road rallying. After my scorpions were done at 3500mi I decided on Dunlop 616's. They aren't marketed as a dual sport tire but the tread pattern hooks up well in the dirt, much better than the scorpions, plus I think they were $245 shipped for a set on revzilla..
 
3500! Do you do a burnout at every stop light? I probably get the worst mileage on this forum and I'd be pissed if mine was toast that early. Even the one that blew out at 3000 miles had at least half it's life left.

Regardless, I like what I read about the P3's and they get a lot more mileage out of a set.
