Heidenau K60 Scout is a 50/50 adventure tyre engineered for long-distance travel with moderate off-road use. Known for its impressive mileage, solid road manners, and decent gravel grip, it strikes a balance between longevity and versatility. While it struggles in mud and wet grass, its performance on dry dirt, gravel, and tarmac makes it a go-to choice for RTW (round-the-world) riders.
Ideal For
Terrain & Conditions
Gravel, dry trails, tarmac, forest roads, and hard-packed surfaces. Struggles in mud, wet grass, and deep sand.
Rider Types
Riders who prioritise long-distance touring with occasional off-road detours. Ideal for RTW, transcontinental, or UK TET riders.
Motorcycle Types
Versatile choice for BMW GS, Honda Africa Twin, Yamaha Ténéré 700, and KTM Adventure models aiming for travel endurance.
Performance
The central tread bar on the rear tyre limits traction in muddy conditions. It packs easily and offers limited self-cleaning.
Performs very well on gravel roads—stable under braking and predictable in corners, especially when aired down.
Harder compound and continuous centre strip reduce bite on wet roots or grass. Manageable with caution.
Stable at high speeds and cornering on road. Some road noise, but overall one of the better dual-sport tyres on tarmac.
Acceptable wet grip, but requires cautious riding in heavy rain. Can hydroplane if pushed too hard.
Durability
Holds up well to rocky trails and fire roads, though chunking may occur under aggressive riding. Excellent all-round longevity.
One of the longest-lasting tyres in the dual-sport category. Reports of 10,000+ miles on larger ADV bikes are common.
