60/40 street-biased tread pattern delivers real-world performance across tarmac, gravel, hardpack, and wet roads without compromise

OE fitment on the Ducati Scrambler — engineered to match the power, cornering demands, and mixed-surface lifestyle of modern scramblers

Wet-weather compound formulation is a standout strength — one of the better-performing dual-sport tires when the rain hits Southern California

Tread geometry balances enough contact patch for confident lean angles with void ratio that won't wash out on dirt or loose gravel

Lightweight casing keeps handling crisp and responsive without sacrificing stability at freeway speeds

Available in both radial and bias-ply constructions — fits modern platforms like the KTM Duke as well as retro and vintage scrambler builds

Best For

Urban Scrambler Pilot

You're on a Ducati Scrambler or KTM Duke, riding Orange County streets daily and hitting gravel fire roads on weekends. You need a tire that stays confident when the marine layer rolls in and doesn't flinch when the road turns to hardpack — this is it.

Perfect Match

Canyon Carver with Dirt Ambitions

About 80% of your miles are on twisty tarmac, but you want the freedom to duck onto an unmaintained road without second-guessing your tires. The MT 60 RS handles that lifestyle — spirited cornering on asphalt, light off-road when the mood strikes.

Great Match

Serious Off-Road Adventurer

If your plans include extended dirt touring, technical single-track, or regular deep-gravel runs, the MT 60 RS's street-biased 60/40 balance won't give you what you need out there. Step up to a more off-road-capable tire for that kind of mission.

Consider Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR or dedicated 50/50 tire

Frequently Asked

Gravel roads, hardpack dirt, and light unpaved routes are well within its range — think fire roads, canyon access paths, or the occasional construction detour. Where it falls short is technical terrain: deep sand, mud, and aggressive single-track are beyond what the 60/40 street bias is designed for. It's the tire for riders who want the option to go off-road, not the tire for riders who plan to live there.

Wet grip is genuinely one of this tire's best qualities — Pirelli put real effort into the compound formulation for rain performance, and it shows in the scores. Water evacuation through the tread voids is effective, and the tire maintains a planted, communicative feel on wet pavement that some dedicated street tires struggle to match. For SoCal riders who get caught in winter rain, this is a meaningful advantage.

The Scrambler is built around a specific philosophy — adventure-ready aesthetics with street-optimized performance — and the MT 60 RS mirrors that exactly. Ducati needed a tire that could manage real horsepower, inspire confidence mid-corner, cruise comfortably at highway speeds, and still look and perform the part on a dirt road. The MT 60 RS checks all of those boxes without the heavy compromises that come with most dual-sport rubber.

Rear tires typically run 5,000 to 7,500 miles; fronts tend to last 10,000 to 12,000 miles. That's solid wear life for a tire prioritizing grip and versatility over pure longevity. Aggressive riding and regular off-road use will push you toward the lower end — commuter-style mixed riding with occasional spirited runs will get you toward the top of that range.

Not really. It'll handle enthusiastic canyon riding without drama, but the tread pattern and compound are tuned for mixed-surface versatility, not maximum dry grip at extreme lean angles. Track days call for a dedicated sport or hypersport tire. If your riding is canyons plus gravel — not canyons plus track — the MT 60 RS is the right tool.

Yes — the MT 60 RS size range covers both constructions. ZR-rated sizes are radial and suit modern scramblers; standard sizing designates bias-ply fitment for vintage and retro platforms. When you call us at (714) 516-9059 or stop by our Orange shop, we'll confirm which construction your specific bike requires and make sure you're getting the right spec.
