Run these on my R1 for Ortega Highway. Confidence at lean angles I never had on my old tires. Held up well at my track day too.

These warm up fast. First corner in the morning doesn't feel sketchy. Great daily tire with real sport capability when you want it.

Good mileage for a sport compound — about 6,000 miles on the rear. Wet grip is decent but notice the difference in heavy rain.

What does 54H, 73W, 75W mean? (Load & Speed Index explained) ›
Every tire has a Load/Speed Index on the sidewall. The number is the Load Index — maximum weight at rated pressure. The letter is the Speed Rating — maximum sustained speed. ZR tires show the speed rating in parentheses like (75W), meaning ZR construction exceeds the ceiling.
Speed Ratings
H = up to 130 mph — on 54H, 66H
W = up to 168 mph — on 55W through 78W
ZR = construction exceeds 150 mph
Load Indexes
54 = 500 lbs | 61 = 567 lbs
66 = 661 lbs | 69 = 716 lbs

Most Street-Friendly

Replaces Q3+. MT Multi-Tread rear. Best for canyon + track day riders.
