Performance Analysis

Fulda EcoControl HP2 delivers solid value-focused touring performance with standout wear, competitive aquaplaning resistance, and low noise. Across multiple reputable tests it consistently excels in tread life and cost-per-kilometre, and shows notable strength in curved/straight aquaplaning with occasional mid-pack wet/dry handling. A 2025 Moottori result (4/8 overall) demonstrates balanced capability in mid-range competition.
However, wet braking is a recurring weakness, frequently 14-19% behind the best and often bottom-tier, which suppresses overall rankings in larger, tougher fields. Dry braking is generally mid-pack, not compensating enough for the wet shortfall.
