New Tires

Bridgestone S21? Looks promising. I did like the s20 evo, but made the bike feel lazy.

Indeed the S20 evo's slowed down the steering on the Panigale, made it quite a bit more stable at the same time though.

I am interested to know what the S21 actually entail.. I run S20 Evo front and a T30 rear on my 675R, which is perfect for the street...

If they put a middle patch of a T30 on a S20 Evo it would be the perfect street tire.

So you run a touring tire on a sportbike? How many kms did you get on the rear tire?

The new S21's do look interesting. They've steepened the profile up front, which should help make them a handle a bit more responsively, and if they get anywhere near the improved life out of them they claim along with as-good or (also as-claimed) better grip, they will be a great street tire. Sadly I just put fresh S20 Evos on both my bikes right before the 21's came out in the States, so I'll have to run these off before I get the chance to try them out. Such problems...

I have read good reviews so far. I had BTE016s on the old S1000 and they were awesome.

I wouldn't use the term sadly. The s20 evo is a great tire. Other then being lazy and thats only a user preference.

Agreed; only sadly in that if I'd have waited a couple of weeks the S21's would've hit the radar here in the states so I could've gone with the newer tire. Probably going to pick up a set this month anyway, since Bridgestone's got a nice rebate on during May.

Im putting a set of metzeler m7's in the next few weeks since its heading into winter here in nz once it warms back up i will be putting a set of their of racetec rr k3's. Will let you guys know how they go, since im coming off the supercorsa's

That would be great if we could be the feed back on the metzeler m7's. Thats another tire of interest.

Thanks.
