On dry weather it's alright. On wet weather is shit. About 7000km in the rear slips alot even when im going slow thru corner about 40km/h - 50km/h. Tire lasted about 9500km before it needs to be changed. Ride feels harder then other tires. Felt every small bumps and going thru humps can be quite harsh.

What Yamaha Xmax 300 drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
It grips very well on wet conditions, you feel every crease on road for me that's a downside comfort is a little low
Been plagued by punctures. They are so soft that a small staple used for paper punctured the tire. The rear tire has been punctured 7 times now and all by very thin bendable wire, less that 2mm thick. Will be going for a stronger option now.
Dry grip and feel are much better than the Michelin City Grip. Those were terrible wooden feeling tires.
The Battlax are nice tires but the rears only last about 3000 miles on the Xmax 300. I’ve had one last 2600 actually which is less than a summer of ridding. Pretty annoying. I wish they would last about 4000 so I could just get one a year.

Coming from stock dunlop scootsmart to Battlax SC is totally different experience.
The scooter runs way smoother over the pavements. but the grip is where everything is totally different.
its just insane how i can lean my scooter easily without any chatter or losing grip. it just sticks.
been user of battlax for so long, i no longer think about any other tires for my scooter when i need to replace my tires.
Unfortunately it seems the rear tires will go in no time.
Typical battlax : everything is good except the price and its lifetime.
