Comprehensive Breakdown
Dry Grip: Outstanding. Delivers maximum cornering precision, total stability under heavy braking, and massive traction on exit. It uses a dual-compound setup with no tread grooves on the extreme shoulders, giving you maximum rubber contact at full lean.
Warmup Time: Requires a proper 8–10 km street warmup to get sufficient core temperature for road riding. On track days, the rear can be run at lower pressures via NTEC RT technology to expand the contact patch without needing tire warmers.
Wet Grip: Very Poor. Designed purely as a dry hypersport tire with minimal siping. On wet or cold tarmac, water evacuation is low, making it slick and unpredictable.WHY BOTHER RIDING IN THE WET ...IT HAS ITS PURPOSE
Comfort: Extremely Rigid. Built with a stiff, race-derived carcass for high-speed stability and sharp turn-in. It transmits every bump and road crack straight to the handlebars—because it is a dedicated track/hypersport tire, not a sport-tourer.
Wear & Longevity: Durable for Track Rubber. Features Speed Vent Tread (SVT) to manage peak heat and prevent degradation. It lasts longer than pure track slicks, though aggressive street riding or highway commuting will still flatten the center relatively quickly.
