It is a very nice Tire in Front and Back. You get much feedback of both tires, my technique is to undercut a curve, with nearly 150Nm very nice to drive.
In all likelihood, the tire is capable of more than I dare to attempt. So far, it has performed perfectly in every situation.

The most recent reviews, in their own words
Great sports tire in the hot summer months, not for the winter months or rough road cornering in the wet, lasted very well should see 4000 or more miles before change, i am not sure best tire for 1200 speed twin RS may be wasted on my style of riding..
I live in Cyprus so no wet experience but for hot dry twisty tarmac they don't disappoint, they warm up fast give confidence to lean to the max. wear well so far and are imo as good as the conti attack sm's designed for 701 supermotos albeit giving away slightly in grip for way more sensible wear. But I only ride twisty single track roads here and short trips for fun. These are easy on your wallet to boot. It's a no brainer for me, think I'll stick to them!
Purchased to replace an old set of Dunlop Roadsmart tires on a VFR800 V Tec. Used mainly for a daily commute and a mix of roads including motorway. I went for the O rated tire on the rear for extra life as the bike is quite heavy. In short, I can't fault them. I've used them in all weathers including zero degree temperatures. They are quick to warm up and give all the grip, comfort and feedback you will ever need. I will definitely be buying the same again.
Absolutely confidence instilling tires in almost all conditions, only haven't tried them in snowy weather. Dry grip is comfortable and also enabled me to test the limits of my bike like I have not before. The majority of my riding happens with a pillion and both of us felt the comfort as we switched to these.
With my previous tires, the wet grip was poor enough that I was being unnecessarily cautious to a point where they were taking my focus away from traffic. Now, the opposite is possible.
I try to use as less brake as possible with my riding style and the wear so far seems good, I am hoping to reach 15000km at least.
Unless Metzeler makes an even better tire, I don't see myself buying a different brand or model. These honestly feel like the absolute best there is for all-year riding.

BrilIant tire on a dry summer's day, poor on a cold damp winter morning also easy to step out on rough damp tarmac under acceleration when exiting corners, very pressure sensitive. Keep for the warmer months and they are hard to beat.
