Great tire, when working at correct temp the dry grip is fantastic, on the track and on the road. The front is rock solid, while the rear tends to slide a bit when opening the throttle out of the corners.
On the road reaches working temp quite easily and gives the best as the pace speeds up. On the track these tires have a short range of pressure they could reach the working temperature with. Outside that range the tire warms up much too quickly, with rapidly degrading performance, or never reaches the optimal temperature. So on the track it requires a bit of tweaking, then you could have a good trackday tire. It is not a pro- track tire, you can't keep the pace or the lean angle of track tires. Anyway it's a very good tire for a road/trackday use on a hypersport bike.
