Performance Analysis

Across four summer tests, the Radar RPX800 consistently trails the field, particularly in dry and wet stopping and aquaplaning resistance. Average overall ranking is low (30.8), with multiple bottom-tier finishes in large, competitive tests. Wet braking occasionally reaches mid-pack, and external noise is a rare bright spot, but durability and abrasion metrics are poor and undermine value despite a relatively low purchase price.
