After long-time Heidenau distributor MotoAmore LLC announced its closure in December, dealers and customers have scrambled to find a source for the German tire brand. Finally, agreements have been made for two new distributors to offer Heidenau Tires in the U.S Nova Motorcycles of Massachusetts will offer Heidenau Race tires. Cedar Rapids Tire of Iowa will carry Heidenau’s ADV and inner tubes for wholesale and retail customers and both distributors will be up and running soon has been in the specialty tire business since 1992 In addition to the Heidenau motorcycle tires CRT’s 70,000-square-foot warehouse supplies ATV Nova Motorcycles is a full-service independent shop specializing in vintage and unusual motorcycles It is building on its racing history to bring informed service and sales to the vintage race community.We wish these new partners of Heidenau Tires success in their new endeavors and website in this browser for the next time I comment Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" We are using cookies to give you the best experience on our website You can find out more about which cookies we are using or switch them off in settings This website uses cookies so that we can provide you with the best user experience possible Cookie information is stored in your browser and performs functions such as recognising you when you return to our website and helping our team to understand which sections of the website you find most interesting and useful Strictly Necessary Cookie should be enabled at all times so that we can save your preferences for cookie settings we will not be able to save your preferences This means that every time you visit this website you will need to enable or disable cookies again This website uses Google Analytics to collect anonymous information such as the number of visitors to the site Keeping this cookie enabled helps us to improve our website Please enable Strictly Necessary Cookies first so that we can save your preferences More information about our Cookie Policy on our Privacy Policy the choice was simple—the Heidenau K60 Scout Eight of us ran these do-it-all tires for 1,800 miles on various BMW GS models with more than half that distance off the pavement it’s a small tire company; you can be excused for not hearing about them until now I’d say—the company produces an impressive 550 types of tires at its factory in Heidenau Early reports of good handling and high mileage among adventure riders established a cult following when the K60s hit these shores a few years ago and they remain a popular choice for a 50/50 street/dirt tire Scouts fit larger dual-sports and adventure machines I tested a 150/70 B-17 rear with a load rating of 716 pounds at 39 psi and a 110/80 B-19 front tire that carries 536 pounds at 36 psi Both are tubeless and carry a “T” speed rating making them good for sustained operation at 118 mph The Scouts took us over everything from the freshest asphalt to washboard gravel and rutted Stiff sidewalls created by polyester material laid up in a belted bias-ply construction provide excellent stability for this kind of riding but the K60s handled the short sections we did encounter without incident The front Scout’s chevron tread design gripped gravel and pavement with equal zeal giving me the confidence to lean my BMW R 1200 GS into loose corners and still carve a pretty good apex on the tarmac Patagonia has hundreds of miles of good pavement that invite sporty riding and we made excellent use of it on the Heidenau Scouts Spinning up the rear wheel on gravel sections became my favorite pastime once we left the pavement I knew my hijinks would shorten the tire’s life Though the intentional abuse and the 80 mph we traveled for long stretches took their toll on the rear tire the front K60 was in excellent shape when I turned in the bike at Punta Arenas the rear could have easily made a return trip north Its zigzag center rib helps it take a licking and keep on sticking making the Scout a 50/50 tire that you can commute on during the week and still have plenty of tread left to explore the hinterlands on the weekends the Heidenau K60 balances the needs of the adventure rider better than any tire I’ve ridden to date For more information, call (408) 295-3004 or visit heidenautires.com or reifenwerk-heidenau.de I have seen good and bad reports on the Scout K60’s and would like to hear your experience so far Just completed a 5 K ride on a KLR650 with K60’s but also tricky gravel roads and a 620km (385 mile) section of gruelling outback track solo The Oodnadatta Track (AUS) in November is not somewhere you want to get a puncture when your alone The K60’s handled it with no problem even though the were 2/3 gone f650gs i got over 10,000 miles on the k60s deep snow & deep sand were the only issues rev limiter gear pulls and a several hill climbs The old adage for motorcycle tires, “cheap, sticky, long-lasting: pick two,” is fading in the face of major advances in tire technology.  That said, it definitely still applies in places. Some of the Adventure bike riders among us who have hopped on the internet for some advice about which tires to spoon on next may have been swayed by the Heidenau K60 Scout on/off-road tire that has decent pavement manners and wears like iron For those riders that stay below the rust belt or ride in mostly warm weather Those of us who live a bit further north have had a different experience, at least in the bookend seasons. When the pavement you’re on is cold and wet, especially on a lightweight bike, the Heidis are famously slippery. While they provide good performance off-road and on dry, warm pavement, as soon as temperatures drop or some cold rain falls Heidis can strip a rider’s confidence as they let the bike step out unpredictably in corners Thankfully, it looks Heidenau has heard riders’ complaints loud and clear! Come January 2020, the German company is releasing a version of the K60 Scout in a new compound just for cold weather, with the “CC designator, for “Cold Climate.” Those who prefer the existing Scout can rest easy, as it is an option, not a replacement, for the tire that offers some of the highest mileage from any ADV rubber but the cost of the tires will remain the same and riders are of course encouraged to do their own math and risk calculations For those of us who value grip over longevity this is a great change and we’re glad the company has heard Source: Heidenau Tires Zero Wants You to Lock In Pre-Tariff Electric Dirt Bike Pricing Now This Retro-Styled Electric Motorcycle Looks Like a Fun and Practical Daily Ride Looking For Free Motorcycle Training In Virginia Suzuki Really Wants You To Test Ride the New DR-Z4S Is This Italian Motorcycle Maker Full Of It DriveMag Riders We tried the Heidenau K60 Scout Tires on the new BMW R1200GS and BMW R1200GSA to see if they are good enough for a long trip We used them for 10,000 kilometers [6200 miles] in our latest DriveMag Riders Adventure but we also had some demanding off-road sections.  There’s still some life in this 6 thousand miles rear I used it in a long Trip in the Caucasus region with a fully-loaded bike with many high-speed highway sections and fast overtakes.  there’s a thing that makes the Heidenau K60 tires a top-choice I’ve seen some people that managed to get 12.000 miles with these tires Heidenau is a German brand known better for its cruiser and sidecar tires It’s not quite a performance tire builder but you won’t see Heidenaus on the brand-new superbikes which means that they offer a compromise between the road manners and the off-road performance.  I felt uncomfortable after 90 miles per hour They are good enough on wet roads but beware of the white lines you got ABS and Traction Control on the new big-adventure motorcycles The front becomes unstable on hard-braking and it’s not worse than other dual-sport tires.  These K60 Scouts are good enough for any adventure rider I once had some problems when trying to climb a hill in Cappadocia as long as you stick to soft enduro.  The K60 Scout offers a good balance between street use If you plan to go on a long adventure trip which includes off-road sections and you don’t want to swipe the back tire after 3.000 miles They aren’t as good as Pirelli Scorpion Trail on fast corners they don’t offer the same grip as a Continental TKC 80 they are not top-performer tires on any surface I would not recommend them if you want to ride a high-performance motorcycle such as the GS at its full potential.  But if you want to set off for a true adventure They offer maybe the best compromise between the street use and the off-road experience while having an impressing lifetime Comment * document.getElementById("comment").setAttribute( "id" "a202a18f81e9023ece6e18d35a0ee9b9" );document.getElementById("fac8a552ad").setAttribute( "id" the new BMW R1250RT features an Adaptive… would say the adventure motorcycle aficionados The BMW R1250GS and R1250GSA were updated for 2021 The upcoming 2021 Triumph Trident has been seen in full form and camouflaged during some tests near the British manufacturer’s… Ducati is ready to launch to long-anticipated Multistrada V4 adventure motorcycle on October 15 Britain’s Eisenberg Racing fitted a V8 engine on a custom motorcycle The engine displacement is 3000cc while the total output… Valentino Rossi has signed a contract to race with the Petronas Yamaha Sepang Racing Team for the 2021… Two consecutive nights of violence force police to seal off shelter near Dresden as Germany prepares for biggest influx of asylum seekers since second world war Neo-Nazi protesters gathered to demonstrate against the arrival of migrants at a newly opened shelter in eastern Germany have clashed violently with police in a sign of growing tension over the record influx of asylum seekers expected this year. The two consecutive nights of violence over the weekend came at the end of a week in which the interior minister, Thomas de Maizière, said Germany could expect to receive as many as 800,000 asylum seekers in 2015, the biggest influx since the second world war. called the issue Germany’s biggest challenge since reunification 25 years ago which has been set up in a disused DIY store as demonstrators hurled abuse at arriving migrants and bombarded police with stones Police responded by firing teargas and pepper spray in an effort to secure the entrance road to the shelter which has been built to accommodate 600 people telling German media on Sunday: “This renewed excessive violence is outrageous and unacceptable” He said police would be better able to spot “potential violent criminals” by erecting a security barrier around the shelter and asking everyone who approached to identify themselves De Maizière said perpetrators of racist violence would feel the full strength of the law urged the town’s 16,000 residents to show solidarity towards the migrants The confrontations add to the record number of reported attacks on asylum seekers’ homes this year, which was already more than twice as high as in 2014 by the end of June. Police say the real number of attacks is probably much higher. Read moreMost of the hostility is in towns and villages in the former communist east, a fact that is casting a huge shadow over the region in the runup to the 25th anniversary of German reunification in October. Far-right groups across Germany have been encouraging people to report the whereabouts of every new home under their “no refugee camps in my neighbourhood” campaign. Last month, Google responded to the protests and deleted a map run by the campaign group which detailed their location in what amounted to an open invitation to attack them. Some shelters, such as the one in Freital, Saxony, have been subject to arson attacks and a barrage of abuse by far-right protesters gathered outside. Polls show that 58% of Germans support the number of migrants coming to Germany and believe the country has the resources to cope. That image is reinforced by volunteers who have come out in unprecedented numbers across the country to help feed and shelter the newcomers. Migrants are being housed in everything from tents in makeshift camps and metal containers to schools empty over the summer holidays. With term due to start soon, however, a frantic effort is on to find more suitable long-term accommodation. the Social Democrat prime minister of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia Hannelore Kraft joined in increasing calls for an EU-wide asylum policy arguing that many countries were failing to contribute enough to the crisis The government has already warned that border controls may have to be introduced if a distribution system is not introduced “When North Rhine-Westphalia is taking in more refugees than France then something is not quite right,” Kraft told Deutschlandfunk radio She said she believed the number of asylum seekers expected this year may well be much higher than the 800,000 estimated De Maizière She also urged the federal government to cut the average time of seven months it currently takes to process asylum applications De Maizière announced this weekend that thousands of civil servants were being brought out of retirement to help speed up the process and an appeal has also gone out for others to delay their retirement Gabriel and Frank-Walter Steinmeier, the heads of the Social Democrats, who are junior partners in the governing coalition, also back the idea of an EU-wide policy. They have released a paper on the crisis in which they say the “reaction until now of many EU members does not match the aspirations that Europe should have of itself”. They say Europe is facing “a challenge that would affect generations” and which requires the introduction of a fair system of distribution of migrants across the EU. Read moreSome argue for a similar system to that currently in place in Germany under which migrants are distributed across the country according to the size of a region’s population and its tax revenues per head As calls from across the political spectrum for Merkel’s government to finally introduce an immigration law grow louder industry bosses have begun to wade into the debate at a time when Germany is crying out for skilled workers asylum seekers whose applications have been turned down should have the chance to prove whether they have skills to offer before being sent home “No one is checking the refugees’ qualifications and capabilities in order to establish whether they are able to enrich our country That is just wrong,” Engel wrote in a commentary for the Bild am Sonntag He criticised the fact that applying for asylum was currently the only way in which people who wanted to come to Germany and find work had any chance of getting in “Because we have no proper immigration law people are forced to apply for asylum,” he said comparing the process to getting through the eye of a needle Demographic experts have said that in order to have any chance of plugging the huge imbalance between births and deaths which currently has the lowest birthrate in the world needs to welcome about 533,000 immigrants every year A recent poll showed that 76% of Germans are in favour of an immigration law Many products featured on this site were editorially chosen Motorcyclist may receive financial compensation for products purchased through this site Copyright © 2025 Motorcyclist. An Octane Media, LLC Publication Reproduction in whole or in part without permission is prohibited UPDATE on May 18,2022: Continental Issues Recall on Popular TKC80 Adventure Tire — According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Continental Tire has issued a recall of certain TKC80 adventure tires and three other motorcycle tire models According to a May 6, 2022, NHTSA release detailing the recall these tires can develop cracks longer than 3/16 of an inch in the tread grooves that “can lead to tread separation increasing the likelihood of a crash.” The release says tire owners should receive official notification from Continental in June.  Continental did not respond to a request for comment for this update.The recall affects nearly 70,000 tires in 46 models and sizes. Check the official NHTSA release to see if your tires are part of this recall The Continental TKC80 Twinduro has become the gold standard of dualsport-capable tires for the GS crowd The iconic big block pattern with its low growl and good handling has made its mark on the adventure rider world the Twinduro’s Nerf-like casings often rub thin a long way from home; consequently and a couple of sets of Michelin Anakee and Metzler Tourance street tires in my search for the best combination of wear and performance Most of my long distance travels include large portions of dirt so even though I appreciate the street tires’ extended wear and handling on tarmac twisties a new kid has shown up to challenge the mighty Continental as King of the Hill Could all the rage about the Heidenau K60 Scout really be true Adventure riders are well acquainted with roadside tire changes… or they should be I am grateful for the shade beneath the awning of a closed Harley Davidson dealership this warm Sunday afternoon in Grand Junction Colorado when the last shadow of tread disappears from my rear tire when I knew the trip length would exceed the remaining tread on my tires anything over 3,500 on the rear is a bonus I peel off the old carcass and mount a fresh one as my pals arrive right on time to hit the trail to Moab This scenario leaves me wondering if there might not be a better tire for the GS My travel itinerary this spring keeps taking me back to central Missouri the Lee Parks Supermoto for GS Riders course and the International BMW Rally bounce me back and forth like the little red paddle ball on a long rubber band Missouri is a fair commute from central Oklahoma even on a GSA… plenty of back-to-back road miles with a nasty bit of dirt and mud tossed in at the GS Cup so I decide to spoon on a pair of Heidenaus for the next tire change since they are a much tougher and stiffer tire than the Conti Using my long tire irons and grease-barrel “tire machine,” I finally wrangle them into place When I leave the driveway I realize that the Heidenaus will require some breaking in but about 100 cautious miles have them scrubbed in The front produces a noticeable whir… noisy enough to justify ear plugs but not objectionable otherwise On pavement I am not as confident with the Heidenaus as with the TKC80s The K60s’ harder rubber compound holds well until pushed but they give little warning before letting go Due caution is in order with the Scouts and if you are a canyon carver This is not a maximum cornering performance tire Off road the K60s perform surprisingly well but worlds better than an Anakee or Tourance with similar mileage capability The open pattern makes the front a bit more dirt-worthy than the rear due to its continuous rubber center strip (17" version only) a feature that accounts for some of the Heidenau’s extended life on the big GS In mud the K60s clean acceptably well in all but the stickiest goo They offer good grip in soft to medium terrain but give up a small percentage of traction to the TKC80s’ more aggressive tread Heidenaus start life with 10.86 mm rear tread to the Continental’s 10.5 After more than 5,000 miles my new Heidenaus are less than half worn-out Front tread depth still exceeds 6mm and rear is almost 7 the front is hardly worn and the rear still has at least 50% usable life remaining Where to Buy: It's that time of a year again - holiday shopping for your favorite motorcyclist can be hectic We've compiled a list of a few gift ideas..

Perhaps you only like to ride on roads if they get you to the start of your favorite off-road trails to explore then German tire manufacturer Heidenau has a brand-new tire that you may want to know about The all-new K60 Ranger switches the ratios up somewhat from the well-loved K60 Scout tire While the Scout had a bias in favor of about 60 percent on-road the Ranger is reportedly 30 percent on-road If you have 19- or 21-inch wheels up front chances are good there’s a K60 Ranger to suit your bike Extensive testing lasting over 250,000 kilometers (just under 155,343 miles) helped Heidenau to better refine its formula and features to make the K60 Ranger as fit for its purpose as it could be as well as the addition of stability-enhancing crossbars in key areas were just some of Heidenau’s field research results German motorcycle magazine Motorrad was among the publications invited by Heidenau to put some of these tires through their paces the K60 Rangers performed as Heidenau advertised writers Ferdinand Heinrich-Steige and Jens Kratschmar came away convinced that most riders won’t find themselves limited in any way by these tires Heidenau makes these tires at its plant in Germany and anticipates starting to take orders worldwide as of August According to a post on the official Heidenau Facebook page the K60 Rangers are expected to be on store shelves

expand DriveMag Riders The Continental TCK 80 Twinduro is one of the most acclaimed dual-sport tires Then it’s the Michelin Anakee III capable of 20,000 km but it’s just a street tire with enduro marketing And there’s Heidenau K60 Scout which gives you proper wear and decent off-road performance what’s the best decision if leaving on a 10,000 km trip on a big adventure bike?  I don’t think there’s something right and something wrong personal taste and being able to face a compromise.  Last year I traveled to Georgia and Armenia 90% of those 8,500 km were only on the tarmac But that 10% of dirt was the best part of the trip – the unpaved roads to the medieval Georgian villages in the Caucasus it’s not the best choice to go on muddy roads with street tires That’s where my Heidenau K60 Scouts made the difference they were useless and annoying due to the vibrations and noise But if leaving again on a 10,000 km adventure If I were to ride some Continental TKC 80 or Metzeler Karoo 3 they would have been gone long before reaching the off-road segment of the trip Pirelli Scorpion Trail or Metzeler Tourance Next I’m not the guy to carry another set of tires and the time was too precious to lose a day finding a set of tires over there and putting them on So I faced the vibrations and the highway discomfort without regrets.  It was also clear to me that I made the best decision when I met two Dutch guys riding some badass single-cylinder KTM motorcycles to Mongolia and the other one was waiting for its turn.  Heidenau K60 Scout Tire Review Adventure Travel to Caucasus on BMW R1200GS Adventure Adventure in Kazahstan on DR650 Now let’s get back to the header idea but when going for an under 4.000 km off-road ride I’ll choose the Metzeler Tourance Next Pirelli Scorpion Trail or Michelin Anakee III.  These tires last longer than the softer ones you discuss and also give better off road duty than the more road oriented ones you mention I’ve done some reasonably serious stuff with both the enduro 3 and traditional Tourance and gotten fairly long mileage And of course heidenau scouts are super strong and earnest tires that vibrate squirm in the rain and have sidewalls so stiff that it makes it hard to not scuff the rim while getting them on For a while a few years ago there was one shop I know of that wouldn’t put them on because it was such a struggle Seemed a little dramatic to me but I got the basic idea I may just go with the best deal between the scouts I actually don’t think you can go wrong or be left off of your desired routes you might just ride the same routes a little differently with those Compared to anything I had from 1968 until about 1997 there is just no comparison now and we went all over the place in our ignorance The biggest use difference I see now is the commoness of extreme speed traffic flows and aggressive crowded highway conditions It’s not a bad idea to bias tire purchases in that direction a little more these days IMO I am currently riding a 2012 r1200gsa with a very sweet adaptive ölins setup I ride probably 30% off road and I do not trailer the bike so it involves real touring as well and that means as far as it takes to get there I only mention because tire talk is useless without knowing what they’re on and for what and the basic perspective of the rider to either back country or city destinations the cases come off and once you’re used to the GSA dirt dance or GSA city scooter impersonation Keep the throttle on some even if the brakes are on too Big GSA riding is not necessarily for everyone but with the right tires they are just a one bike/one world thing almost great anywhere and over the top great overall Tires matter a lot on any bike and you will need to try many over

(Arno Burgi/dpa via AP) Berlin • Chancellor Angela Merkel on Monday condemned the neo-Nazi riots outside a refugee shelter in eastern Germany over the weekend, calling the attacks and the Germans who stood by watching them "shameful." Dozens of police were injured when a far-right mob hurled bottles and fireworks at officers trying to ensure asylum-seekers could move into a shelter in Heidenau, south of Dresden. Merkel, who had been criticized by commentators in Germany for failing to speak out swiftly against the attacks, which began Friday night, said the images on television were "shocking." "I condemn in the strongest possible terms the violent outbursts," she told reporters in Berlin. "There was an aggressive mood against foreigners there that isn't acceptable in any way." Hundreds of people took part Friday evening in a peaceful march organized by the far-right National Democratic Party, but hours later some of the protesters began attacking police who seemed unprepared for the violence. "It's repulsive how far-right extremists and neo-Nazis are spreading their hollow message, but it's equally shameful how citizens — even families with children — support this by marching along," Merkel said. Despite the strong words, police said about 150 demonstrators in Leipzig blocked a bus on Monday night from picking up refugees temporarily housed in a sports hall to take them to Heidenau, the dpa news agency reported.
