    I ran the s21 and S22. Never gave me any doubts. Rain, frozen roads, on their edge aggressive riding. Putting down 200hp. 300+kph, touring. About 30,000km. Never gave me any doubts.

      Not a chance I imagine thats the total mileage he did in total on that rubber. I've got a 2023 MT10 and my S22's are getting ready and i'm just over 1500 miles. Going to give the S23's a whirl having seen this i think@@PidarBlyad

      @afiq42 no they don't last that long lmao. But I kept buying them back to back because I liked them so much. 30 thousand in total. I got about 7 or 8 thousand km out of a rear tire. 10 thousand or more on a front.

      @sebg2086 I was still on pavement, not ice. But yes, I ran them at -10 celcius a few times and they weren't terrible. Of course I was being very careful.

    80% of the people or more will never and could never push this tire or any tire for that matter to its potential especially on the street or mountains or wherever.
    I’ve been riding 50 years now and have tried multiple different types of tires 😂 and have never had any issues with most of them , my go to is Bridgestone 99% of the time . That being said , lean angle equals risk and on the street could easily equal pain or discomfort or worst .
    The best riders in the world don’t risk it on the road.
    Tires are a small part of the equation.
    Pick what you like best and go with it .
    Be patient and safe !! ✌🏻
    Btw …. Focus on trail braking and learn it good and you’ll be quicker no matter what tires you have .

    Genuine questing. How is this a test. And how did this reader get an invite. Riding round off line and doesn’t even use full gas on the straights. You could use tyres made of wood to give grip at that commuting pace. Absolutely pointless.

    I’m trying to decide between the S23s, the Rossa IVs, the Metzeler M9 RRs, or the Michelin Power 5s. It’s a tough decision, but it’s based on how I’ll be riding for the near future. The Pirellis would be fun, but roads where I live are not great. But practically the S23s or the M9 RRs are the ones I’m deciding between.

    Back to bikes. I’m running the S22s on my Triumph Speed Triple 1200RR. And I gotta say. I love it. It’s my first set. And I’ll definitely be trying the S23.
    If you don’t mind. Please make a quick feedback vid of your SA experience. Would love to know what you think about our beloved country.

Mostly just cruising around in the country. Also roads here are mostly horrible condition. Any opinions anyone? Also im not very concerned about wet grip, will be avoiding rain as much as i can.

    If I ever road track on a bike I also run on the street, I really think they are the play over something like a Power 5.
    I run a Road 6 on my MT-09 that never sees a track. It’s smokes hypersport and pure track tires in road conditions and temps.

      @@Bogdangati4 on the ROAD, no comparison. I smoke folks running their hypersport tires(s22, s23, power 5's, etc...) on the street. Now on the track, yeah they would dust me. If you wanna go from cruising at 40-70mph behind Sally in her civic to a posted 30-45mph twisty section of road and you are scraping, Road 6 will bite instantly. Think of it this way... hypersport tires run a warm up lap to reach operating temps right? Imagine not doing the warm up lap. Thats street riding.

    • @Bogdangati4
      @Bogdangati4 9 месяцев назад
