Motoz RallZ Rear Tyre

Motoz Tractionator RallZ – 170/60 B17 Rear Tyre

A BIKE THING recommends this hardcore rear tyre for riders who split their time between deep trail adventures and fast road transfers. The RallZ is the most aggressive off-road adventure tyre in the Motoz range — designed in Australia, built for real terrain. Motoz+1

Why we love it

When your bike is going off-road as much as it’s going on-road, a standard 50/50 adventure tyre may no longer cut it. The RallZ has a clear dirt-first orientation, offering strong traction in mud, sand, rock and fire-trail environments — yet still keeping respectable on-road manners. 
For riders of bikes like the GS/GSA who venture into the woods, tracks and less-forgiving terrain, this tyre gives you the confidence to push harder.

Key Features

• Off-road bias: With design DNA described as “part desert race tyre and part long-distance adventure tyre”.

• Self-cleaning and self-sharpening tread blocks: These help maintain grip in loose terrain and varying conditions.

• Hybrid compound with silica: Optimised for muddy, rocky or changeable surfaces without completely sacrificing on-road performance. Motoz+1

• Tubeless design (TL): In this size (170/60 B17) you get the tubeless construction, better suited for big adventure bikes. Motoz+1

• Adventure-ready build: Constructed with a stronger carcass and deeper tread than your typical dual-sport tyre, so it’s built for when terrain gets rough.

Ideal For

• Grip-hungry GS/GSA riders doing serious off-road (woodland, trails, sand, rocks) but who still need capability on the tarmac.

• Riders who prioritise off-road performance but still value road stability and control.

• When you want to lean into your adventure bike’s “go‐anywhere” promise without compromise.

Fitment / Usage Notes

• Size: 170/60 B17 (Rear) with 72Q load/speed rating.

• Ensure compatible rim size and bike fitment for your model.

• Because of aggressive tread and design, keep in mind: wear life on road will typically be lower than a more road-biased adventure tyre. (See user-reviews for context.) Overland Expo®

• Suitable for tubeless mounting. Because the sidewalls and tread blocks are more aggressive, correct pressures and attention to seating are advised.

• Consider your balancing between trail use and road miles: if you do mostly tarmac, a less aggressive adventure tyre may give better mileage.

A BIKE THING Promise

We live this stuff — we use our bikes, lights and tyres off-road and on-road. We bring gear not because it looks good, but because it lasts, performs and makes a difference when things get rough. Install this tyre on your GS or GSA and you’ll feel the upgrade in how the rear wheel hooks up, locks in and keeps going when the ground gets uncertain.
