  1. ok so the season is starting to shape up and emm is set for her test in june ...so time for new rubber having had the babies treated to a sussie setup , ive gone for maxxis supermaxx with the hope that they will be sticky and give a wee bit of life ...the 748 has dragon evo's that have seen better days and mine has dragon 3's ive always ran pirreli on my dukes so this is an unknown so here goes .....anyone have any input :biggrin:
     
  2. Sabre has them on his Rsv and rates them. I don't think the rears last ages but as much as most sticky stuff does.
     
  3. i reckon at £135 there a bleeding steal and they were dispatched that day so should be here today , im not good enough to push a tyre hard and i really dont think these days any tyre is shite .........think i might do a review on these
     
  4. I have used them on trackdays, ok it was a supermoto with 50 odd BHP but the tyres were very good.
     
  5. Do a review, i would be interested to hear how they work on the 848 :upyeah:

  6. I have them on my 749 and they are fine. They can be vague when cold and on greasy roads but so can any other.
    Get them hot and they work a treat. My rears tend to last around 3-4k before i want to swap them which is average i guess.

    Ive tried various pressures too. Currently running them at 32, 34 as per normal but even at 36 both ends they are fine.

    Give them a go.
