So is the 21/18.

When i got my Loncin Sx2, it came from the factory with a pair of Yuanxing P82, which is a dunlop knock off.

That tire even if it was 19, it would suck hard time on paved road. Not only turning is bad but braking is awful.

Changed it for
Metzeler enduro 3

A much better tread for my type of ride.



With that 21/18 combo. I ride everywhere, from paved roads, highway, freeway, etc.

Even an 11 hour trip

Both 19/17 and 21/18 are valid setups. Yes your on/off motorcycle is not going to ride like a super sport motorcycle with a lower center of gravity and better geometry. But that doesn't mean you can't or you shouldn't ride it anywhere you are allowed to.
