Michelin Anakee ADV 2 Review

[IrishGaucho]

Hi folks,

Got the NEW Anakee Adventure 2 and I've put them to the test in as many different type of terrains as I could... Dry, wet and even more wet roads... Motorways, country roads and even a bit of off-road.

Here's my review and thoughts:

Cheers!

I'm running Wilds on my GS. These are very good in the dirt and also way better on the street than they should be, but they don't last ....
So how do these new anakee's compare with running the road 6's on a GS? A lot of folks went that way to get rid of the noise of the anakee. I have road six GT's on my RS and I've had that in the sand and the road 6 Gt's weren't too bad in the dirt really imo. I took it on a long sandy dirt road back before I had the GS .....
It's not surprising that Michelin updated these tires. If they don't outperform the Road 6 there is no need for them really, especially with the noise. The wilds I have are truly noisey though. I call that bike the buzz saw now lol .....

I cannot comment on the Road 6 as I have not have them.

But yeah, it's all about the type of riding and riding conditions and the compromises you're willing to make.

Cheers!
