Bates Baja Motorcycle Tires

BATES BAJA MOTORCYCLE TIRES

Bates Baja tires are a 50/50 tire built for riders who split time between pavement and dirt. The blocky tread pattern handles asphalt, gravel fire roads, and packed dirt without asking you to choose between them. The profile is rooted in classic desert sled and scrambler builds, so the look holds up as well as the performance does.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT SIZE FOR YOUR BUILD

The Bates Baja comes in sizes that cover most custom applications:

• Bates Baja 90 Series: A narrower profile suited for front wheel fitment on most scrambler and tracker builds. Works well on 18-inch and 19-inch rims where a slimmer front tire matches the geometry of the build.

• Bates Baja 100 Series: A wider section for rear wheel applications. The added width gives more contact patch on loose surfaces and sits correctly on standard motorcycle wheels in 16-inch through 21-inch diameters.

• Rim Size Options: Available in 16-inch, 18-inch, 19-inch, and 21-inch fitments to cover stock and custom wheel setups across Sportsters, Triumphs, and other single-cylinder and twin platforms commonly used for scrambler and tracker conversions.

• Tube Type: These are tube-type tires. Order the correct size inner tube for your wheel and tire combination before mounting.

WHAT MAKES THE BATES BAJA DIFFERENT

There are plenty of dual sport motorcycle tires on the market. The Bates Baja is not trying to be any of them:

• Vintage Profile: Modern dual sport tires tend toward an aggressive, utilitarian look that reads off-road racing more than custom building. The Bates Baja carries a classic motorcycle tire profile that fits naturally on a period-correct scrambler or tracker without looking like it was pulled off a motocross bike.

• Street-Legal Grip: The tread pattern is aggressive enough for dirt and gravel but balanced enough for regular street use. Riders running these on sportster scrambler builds and vintage trackers use them as a daily tire, not just for off-road days.

• Timeless Style: The high-profile carcass and blocky tread work visually on choppers, bobbers, and desert sled builds alike. If the goal is a tire that looks the part and does the job, the Bates Baja covers both without compromise.
