Aprilia Tuareg 660 | Never ending hill climb - Steep, loose and rocky | Motoz Tractionator Tires 

I actually live pretty close to this trail and have driven by it so many times - Glad I got to sharpen my skills a bit before giving it a go! It's so much steeper, chunkier and loose than the video can show. Great to see you catching one of my videos trails! I'll pin your comment so anyone interested in more Aprilia Tuareg 660 trail riding (abuse, lol) can look through your catalog of options!!

Oh awesome! I'm not sure how well the video relays it, but I'm very happy with the combination. My first few miles with them (all road) were pretty upsetting as it felt like I had given up a lot of the road performance. They started feeling so much better after the first couple hundred miles and between their break-in and me getting used to them - They are now feeling great on the street (and truly great offroad!) - I haven't aired them down yet but still really haven't even found the need to. I hope you enjoy your tires as much as I've been enjoying mine! Also, congratulations on the 800de. That bike seems excellent

Mine has already 8000 miles with no problem.

I had a rear break master cylinder issue right off of the lot (would get an error light and message to service the bike every time I pressed the rear brake). It was stuck in the shop for a few weeks since there was a wait for the part to come in. I was regretting my purchase pretty heavily at the time since the season passes so quickly out here (Colorado's northern front range) - but the bike's performance (and reliability since) has made up for that. I gain more appreciation for and understanding of how capable this bike is every single ride. Right now it's sitting just over 4000 miles (all ADV - Canyons to dirt roads to trails) and outside of two spots on the engine case that appear to be having minor amounts of oil seep through, this bike is holding up very well. It's regularly ridden (what I consider to be) very hard and it has taken some seriously harsh drops. My only other complaint that isn't really a reliability issue is the bar stems bending out of place when the bike is dropped. This just puts the bars slightly out of alignment with the fork. I've since learned that I can bend them back on the spot, but other adv bikes don't seem to have this issue after drops. I know a handful of folks have had some catastrophic failures, but they seem to be far and few between without an actual pattern (outside of the engine seal leaks which seem to be pretty common for the 22-23 model year bikes)

This is Greer road in northern Colorado. It's about 40-60 minutes outside of Fort Collins. The Canyon and unpaved roads out to the trailhead are beautiful and fun (this time of year, lol)
