Already fitted to a 2015 Ducati Monster 821 as part of the sale, the incredible handling of the bike and nimble chassis go without saying, but I was quite impressed with the grip and performance of the Dunlops. Front shows little sign of wear and with the low price of 180/55 thought it made sense to replace it and keep an all dunlop matched set. In all the time I've ridden the qualifier core it only stepped out of line once and that was under heavy deceleration with the rear brake also applied. Took it right to the edge with confidence, maybe it's a millimeter or two shy in places, but it gripped well under heavy acceleration and never felt like it was about to lose grip even with an acute lean angle.
