Outstanding
I use my BMW GSA 1250R motorcycle commercially all year round as professional and volunteer medic and travel both on and off road (rough tracks) I’ve found the grip both in the wet and dry fantastic especially when cornering heavy fully laden with medical kit (not very effective in heavy mud though). The rear tyre lasts around -12K miles to the legal minimum depth the front around 16K The only negative, slightly noisy on corners when leaning over when new. It doesn’t get much better, this is the goldilocks tyre given the above. I cannot recommend these enough…
Bmw1200 adventure gs anakee adventure
Good all round road and easy dirt tyre,good in the wet on tar ,got 12000 km out of the last set half of that 2 up with a load
Awesome Mileage
Got over 20000 km on both tyres great in the dirt and stick well on wet roads will never use a different brand or tyre for my Vstrom 1000
Confidence
I have had my Triumph Tiger 800 XRT now for 2 years, after coming from touring bikes, I am not the most confident in wet riding but these tyres are fantastic, great water displacement, and grip where needed. There is no road noise or vibration which I thought you would get from a tyre with this profile. I have done more road riding than off road, but the little off road I have done, I have to say I am impressed. I will be looking at a new set shortly, and would highly recommend these.
Premature tire failure
I recently purchased a anakee adventure from ghe local motorcycle shop. I chose this tige because it was recommended by them as the best tire available for where we ride. I have gone through several sets of Bridgestone battlax tires and never had an issue riding the same areas. The Michelin tire made it about 300 miles, which maybe 50 of that was gravel public maintained highway The tire suffered a rock puncture that was over 1 inch and was not repairable with plugs. We put an inside patch and we’re able to “limp” it home The hole was large enough that you could see the patch by looking into it. The tire seemed to be very flimsy and when I showed it to the motorcycle shop they agreed that it should not have punctured like that. They contacted their Michelin distributor and said if I wanted to pay to ship the tire to them they would look at it. Pictures and the local dealers word or opinion were not good enough. I live in Alaska and it would Have been $70.00 plus to ship it back. I am very disappointed in the service and assistance I received from them. They offered me a 9% discount on a new tire ! Many of my friends have larger and heavier biked BMW 1250’s and ride together we me on these trips. They did.not have tire problems like I experienced I believe that Michelin makes a hood product but this tire for some reason was substandard. I am asking that Michelin stand by their products and replace this tire at no cost to me. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing back from you
Annakee 3 vs Annakee Adventure
My GS1200 came with Annakee3's, very happy and fitted a second set, at 80,000k's fitted Annakee Adventures, very happy with first set, great grip wet and dry and great mileage, very noisy front, fitted a second set, also happy, just fitted a third set, problems, front wheel felt like it was square, checked balance, couldn't stand it and fitted another after 1,000K's, still horrible, checked balance again, had rim checked, perfect, am going to get rid of front after 500K's and get a road tyre
Good on and off road
These came as standard fitment on my Gs 1250 adventure, I have just rode two up 1500 miles across Europe in rain and 46c temperatures over 3 days on tarmac and unpaved mountain trails. These tyres performed effortlessly they are a little noisy but nothing compared with the noise from Karoo 3 they drove me insane. I would recommend.
Great performance and confidence wet and dry on a heavy ADV bike
Michelin Anakee Adventure tires came standard on my 2022 BMW R1250GS Adventure from the factory. I've ridden around 4200 miles on them so far, recently from Kansas City, MO to the national BMW MOA Rally in Richmond VA and back fully loaded. 95% of my riding is highway with an occasional detour on gravel. These tires have performed well in both. Confidence inspiring in the rain and wet braking. There is a slight amount of tire noise at highway speeds but this is expected from an 80/20 tire and it's not enough to make me want to change tires. Tracks straight with responsive turn in in the corners. And I think they look great on an ADV bike. Very little wear showing for 4200 miles. From friends that have them, I expect long life out of them and will replace them with the same. As a long distance truck driver I trust Michelin tires for safety and longevity on our tractor trailers and would not settle for any other brand, especially on my motorcycle where tires are so critical to safety.
Hi Kevin, thank you for your review! We appreciate your feedback.

Brilliant on the Super Tenere
These tyres are excellent in the dry, fantastic in the wet and brilliant under extreme braking ... I won't put anything else on my 2010 Yamaha Super Tenere .
1992 R100 GS Paris-Dakar
These tires transformed the ride on this bike from Ho-hum to being especially enjoyable. Hold the road extremely well and very comfortable ride
