Heidenau K60 Scout Rear Tire

A true "50/50" dual sport tire, the K60 Scout brings a proven balance of performance on- and off-road. With an improved tread and compound, the Scout delivers better cornering stability and wet weather grip on the pavement, while delivering off-road as well.

The "chevron" style tread pattern is similar to full knobby designs which provides lots of open space between the tread blocks to route sand, mud and water from the contact patch while constantly keeping some rubber in contact with the road as the tire rotates.  This tire is a stand-out as it does not sacrifice on-road longevity and adhesion to the pavement for off-road traction.  A difficult feat for any tire to accomplish.

  • TL = Tubeless
  • TT = Tube Type Tire

Please Note: Tire size 150/70 -17 has a solid, center band rather than the staggered tread pattern pictured (see below). Other tire sizes are as shown above. 

Tire size 150/70-18 has a less pronounced center tread stagger (see below). Other tire sizes are as shown above.

Most likely the best 60/40 tire around. They get a little greasy if you have a bad throttle hand on pavement, but do very well offroad for a dualsport tire.

I ride a BMW 1200 GS I replaced the Tourance with this. The K60 is a little noisier and has slightly less traction on wet pavement. Though if you ride off road at all this is a much better option than the Tourance, it hooks up great in soft conditions and still has good road manners. I small loss on the pavement for a huge gain in the dirt.

I've only put about 600 miles on them but I am impressed! For an aggressive tire they handle as good as a street tire. Off road I air them done to 15-18psi and they ride nice and have great grip. Since these tires have a really stiff side wall, I can get back on to the road with the 15-18psi in them and they handle fine, even at highway speeds.
The only negative thing I would say about these tires, is they have a little hum to them at certain speeds. But I figured they would and it doesn't bother me.
One last plus, they don't seem to affect my mpg's at all.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Well I just mounted my new K60. I have less then 500 miles so far on the tire.
My initial observations are:
1) It looks like it belongs on my GS
2) I have had it in pretty heavy rain and even in rain with cold roads it held a line very well
3) Offroad traction is a lot better then stock tires
4) Too early to tell on wear but so far looks to be pretty tough tire ... still has a few "nubs" left
5) VERY CLOSE on the rear fitment with mudsling max in place (maybe 3-4mm space on bottom)
6) Will update after trip as far as wear/handling. Will be leaving for 14K mile run mid May

Got this tire along with the K60 Front for my Super Tenere, great so far not sure about the tread life yet as they are only recently put on. The tire is a much better tire for dirt and gravel versus the standard tire and I have had zero grip issues for wet weather here in the Pacific Northwest. Little bit of vibration at low speed and deceleration but it is to be expected for the tread style. Great product with great service from Revzilla.

Excellent tire for what I do. Hooks up well in dirt, mud, gravel, wet or dry. Havent had any issues clogging or slidding unless in deep slick mud. Has excellent tread life off or on road. Over 8000miles for a rear is pretty good for a knobbie type tire. I have the 150/70 so mine has the solid center tread which makes it very quiet on pavement. Havent had any issues losing traction. I have 3 neighbors that are using the K60 on a variety of BMW's and KTM's and we all love them for the rear. Kinda pricey at first but for the tread life and grip we absolutely love this tire. I dont use the front so cant comment on that but this is my go-to tire for the rear. I ride a Triumph Tiger 800XC if that helps anyone.

Purchased to take 1500 mile trip last weekend. Replacing the TKC. Rode 350 of those miles off pavement, tire handled great.
On the trip back home it rained solid and heavy for the last 80 miles, tire was good in the wet. I would recommend this tire to replace a more aggressive tire for an extended trip. I will be remounting TKC for close to home riding. Heidenau will be mounted again for extended trips.

This is my second set of K60's. The first had the original rear tread and ran out at about 8,600 miles with the front tread remaining with about 50%.
Remember it is a 50/50 and is excellant at it...
No one makes a 100/100 tire.
Put your earplugs in and enjoy the ride on any surfice...

Tubeless tires with tube-type rim

I'm considering the Heidenau K60 Scouts for my Triumph Tiger 800XC. The issue is that in the appropriate size (150/70-15 rear and 90/90-21 front) the K60's are tubeless ["TL" designation in the part number], whereas my rims require innertubes.

My question: Is it OK to run tubeless tires with tubes?

Answer: 
You can always run a tube in a tubeless tire, so running the Heidenau K60 Scout on your Tiger with a tube will work fine. Conversely, you cannot run a tube tire without a tube.

Answer: 
The Heidenau K60 Scout tires are bias ply, not radial. The "B" you see in the larger tire denotes a difference in the center tread pattern, not a designation of tire type.
