Hey all,

After my Hillcountry ride a few weeks back the front Pirelli Angle was lookin pretty weird. Cupped and a nice flat spot down the center from braking? Hum.

Anyway, I finally put the matching Pirelli Scorpion Trail on last night. Oh it was a wonderful run in to work. Can't wait for Saturdays run.

Now I know new rubber always feels great but a matching set of these Trails makes the bike SWEET! Just Falls into and around the turns.

The bike NEVERr handled this good with the syncs from the start and not with the Angles. We will see.

I think that the thicker carcass with the Sync tread design may help a bit with a heavier rider.

Just a quick "my 2 cents"... I made the switch to the Sync Trails last month. I am impressed! Handles great!

Sync Trails? What the hech you talkin about? The Scorpion Trail right? I love them. Been runnin a version of them on the Strom for 6 years. Well sept for a stint on Torrances when the old style Trails, MT/90's went away. That was a great tire. The Scorpion Trails are a great tire as well.
