    I have had these on my r1 since February and have done 500miles + one full track day,
    I was amazed at how good these are on track (I also run a gsxr1000 race bike).
    Highly recommended!!

    I recently fitted these to my R1 after using Supercorsas for many years. The supercorsas are a lot better in my opinion. I find that these tyres are quite stiff in comparison. I have no doubt I will get more mileage though!

    Would love a comparison video between the ”Big” tire manufacturers and lines.
    How is the S22 vs Pirelli Diablo 3 etc.
    Perhaps do one video per category;
    Superbike (track/road)
    Sport
    Touring
    Off road
    Think that would be very appriciated by many riders that have not had the time or experience to try out several tires.

  • @stevenshelp1107
    @stevenshelp1107 4 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    My thoughts after using this tire over three track days. Once down to 30-40% tread it will start to lose a lot of grip and not really handle intermediate pace. If you’re someone that’s gonna do a track day on them then street ride the hell out of the tire then by all means you’ll get your money’s worth. Can not recommend as a track day tire tho. Rs10 is a much better option

    All i care about is dry grip and traction on dry roads for highly aggressive riding and super fast curves. I avoid rain and wet conditions. I like quick warming heating tires. If these are better than Michelin Pilot Power 2's and 5's, and without any concern of low siding, I'd be really. happy. And lasting more than 5k miles

  • @plzuttaren

    I bought these tires after watching the very few reviews out on TH-cam after a friend recommended these. And I can say that I am very happy with the purchase.
    The tires warm up really quick. I mean really quick. Which is nice for when you're doing shorter trips but still got good temperature on the tires.
    The different compounds in the tire really complement each other well so you feel very confident leaning over. You can really feel the difference in stiffness when leaning.
    Its neither a hard or a soft tire but softer on the edges. Works really well for riding street bikes, and I ride a Triumph Street Triple R -13. My friend got these on his Honda CBR 600rr.
    We would both recommend this tire👍
    For me it's a really good choice, and I've had the Michelin Pilot 4 and Pirellis before. Never felt so confident on my bike.
    I have yet to try them in the rain and when it's colder outside. Also I don't know how much the tires wear out.
    Remind me if you want to know in a couple months and ill let you know.

    If they are anything like the S21's this is going to be a good tire. I've been running S21's for 2 years now for lots of road riding and a handful of track day each year and they have been amazing. If these are better? Longer lasting? I will consider them. However the Q4 is out and that looks like a winner as well.

      @@Zeggawong I ride a gsxr 750. S22 is the Best tire I’ve ever ridden. more confidence inspiring than the q3+ by far. S22 are sticky out the driveway where the q3+ was slippery when cold. You really gotta keep some heat in the q3 for them to grip.
      q3+ are a round tire. the roundness off the q3+ when sprited riding made me lack confidence because you can’t “feel the edge” like the s22. That is probably my lack of skills but the s22 I can “feel the edge”, while the q3+ feels like I’m about to fall over at high lean angle.
