Kenda K270 Dual Sport is a classic 50/50 tyre known for its strong off-road chops and DOT-legal construction. Featuring aggressive knobbies and decent road manners, it’s a favourite for budget-conscious adventure and dual-sport riders who aren’t afraid to get dirty. On-road performance is acceptable but secondary to its off-road focus.
Ideal For
Terrain & Conditions
Mixed terrain including gravel, dirt roads, rocky trails, and short stints on tarmac.
Rider Types
Dual-sport riders who prioritise trail performance but need street legality.
Motorcycle Types
Suitable for Suzuki DR-Z400S, Yamaha XT250, Kawasaki KLX300, and Honda XR650L.
Performance
Tread pattern with large, well-spaced knobs gives it good self-cleaning and bite in moderate mud conditions.
Very capable on gravel and rocky trails. Predictable cornering and solid braking on loose surfaces.
Handles slick ground with care—knobs offer some edge, but sidewall flex and compound limit traction.
Acceptable on the road. Squirm and road noise are noticeable but manageable at lower speeds.
Limited wet tarmac grip. Wide spacing in tread makes wet handling unpredictable at lean.
Durability
Holds up well to trail use, including rocky sections and dry mud. Outlasts softer-compound alternatives off-road.
Good value for on-road lifespan, though tread blocks can wear unevenly with frequent street use.
