Bridgestone Battlax Sport Touring T32 180-55-17- Kawasaki KTM SMT 990 2,000 miles June 3, 2024
here writing just after my first ride with the new T32 tires (with a KTM smt 990).
my first was with a kawasaki ninja 250r, used over 4000kms. After my stock tires, T32 shown me how much a quality tire could change your riding experience. The bike was like on another level, also my riding experience. the stability & handling was so encouraging . Wet and dry performances were both fine.
After around 4k kms, have felt some lose on its performance, but was not a deal breaker.
So i bought T32 again for my Ktm 990, replacing my worn continental tires on which i had wobbly turns, even could not leave the handlebars because of wobble. In my first ride today it was first thing i have take in account because was already feeling stable .. As i tried to leave my hands, the bike had this perfect stability .. there were no wobble left .
yes, i m admired of this tires . since it was my first ride w the new tires, didn't yet push it so much but i have been on a curvy road.. and never felt me insecure .
