The dual sport and adventure tire segment has been the fastest-growing motorcycle tire category for five consecutive years globally. Driven by the popularity of adventure bikes from BMW, KTM, Honda, Yamaha, and Royal Enfield, understanding which dual sport tire sizes have the highest demand is essential for any tire wholesaler looking to capitalize on this trend.
Without question, the highest-demand dual sport tire size is the 90/90R21 front. This size fits virtually every full-size dual sport and adventure bike on the market, from the Honda CRF300L and KTM 390 Adventure up to the BMW R1300GS and Triumph Tiger 1200. It is the universal entry point for the adventure tire market.
The 90/90R21 size commands the largest volume because it is used across the widest range of motorcycles — entry-level, mid-size, and premium. Popular tire models in this size include the Continental TKC 80, Dunlop D606, Michelin Anakee Wild, and Bridgestone AX41.
The dual sport rear wheel comes in two competing standards, and both have strong demand.
While 21-inch dominates the dual sport market, 19-inch front wheels are common on bigger adventure bikes designed for more road riding:
| Velikost | Demand Level | Aplikace | Key Bike Fitments |
|---|---|---|---|
| 90/90R21 | Highest | Dual sport front / adventure front | CRF300L, KTM 390 Adv, F850GS, Tiger 900 |
| 150/70R18 | Very High | Adventure rear | Africa Twin, Tiger 900, Versys 650 |
| 120/90R18 | Very High | Dual sport rear | DR650, XR650L, KLX650 |
| 130/80R17 | Very High | Adventure rear (mid-size) | KTM 390 Adv, CB500X, V-Strom 250 |
| 170/60R17 | High | Premium adventure rear | R1250GS, KTM 1290, Multistrada V4 |
| 120/70R19 | High | Adventure front (premium) | R1250GS, Super Tenere, Multistrada |
If you are importing dual sport and adventure tires, prioritize these three sizes for maximum turnover: 90/90R21 (universal front), 150/70R18 (adventure rear), and 130/80R17 (mid-size adventure rear). These three sizes cover approximately 70% of the adventure tire replacement market.
