I fitted these tyres after a Scotland trip with the existing trail type tyres, a couple of front end twitches and countless times the traction control kicked in even just on damp roads. With these tyres fitted a mix of high speed touring across France and Swiss alpine passes, prior to which some weekend riding with mates on sports bikes.
Adjusted the fork preload and the tyres performed impeccably, even the day we had monsoon like rain.
I had already sorted the pressures to my liking which were 36 front and 38 rear, with or without full luggage. The bike has limited adjustment on the suspension but only required a few clicks on the rear between fully loaded and rider only. I’ve always ridden sports bikes until recently but my worries about grip handling the tight switchbacks on such a heavy bike were very quickly dispelled,
No real signs of wear yet I’ll have to see how they do for longevity, but no hesitation at buying these tyres again.
I have Avon sport tyres on my Honda VTR SP1 and these tyres give the same feedback and a very comfortable ride.
