I know!

I saw those and thought, "Oooo".

I haven't ridden with them myself however a customer that rides fairly assertively now swears by them.
He found them to be very stable with good feedback and got nearly 2000kms more than the 2CT's that he usually runs.

The Shiver is up for new tyres in about 2,000km. I am currently spoilt with interesting options...

None of the UK or US Blackbird boys use them at present but they lasted well on a 'busa going round and round on a test track at the launch (well they would under those circumstances

).

The Angels apparently outlasted the other test mule that Pirelli was using for the 12-hour launch event...

Sounds like it is simillsr to the Continental "Motion"

Bump for interests sake. Would like to hear more now that these have been out for a bit.

Oh, and Shaun I certainly hope they're better than the Motion.

Having now ridden on the Pirelli, I think they are bloody awsome tyres

YEP, they are black and round

**Chisanga** · 18th November 2009, 14:58

I'm thinking of putting these on my Street Triple when the OEM's finally let go in a few hundred km's.
Anyone have any comment on this that would help my decision?

Lol, anything else to add that would swing my next tyre choice towards these instead of; Storms, road attack, PP2ct etc?

Or are they just another sport touring tyre made by a big name and just on par with rest?

They have a pretty picture of an angel on the tyre that turns to a devil after 1000km or so
