This is a cross-ply tyre so probably only for use with lighter non-BMW bikes.
Great all round ability. Lovely profile...progressive, neutral, steady and stable. Fast turn in. Great in the wet and wear very well.
Oh......and they're cheap!

Just a quick update; I'm still highly impressed by these tyres. They are lasting mucho longo!
They have an extremely high silica content and are actually bobbling a bit at the edges through my rather lively cornering technique
