ContiTrail Attacks??
« on: August 12, 2010, 11:19:07 »
Hello,

Has anyone tried these on the Vee? (or even the Wee?)

I'm splashing out on a new set and can't decide what's best?! help!!!

I read a review in a German bike magazine which said they were excellent in the dry but only 3/5 in the wet. Rules them out for me I'm afraid.

Have recently put a set on my vee,Just returned from the ulster gp,riding with a couple of 'blades' etc some very 'spirited' riding,found them surprisingly good considering the tread pattern/depth,even when they eventually do let go its not suddenly or harsh.Havn't used them in the wet yet though.
I'm not as think as you drunk I am!

Let go in the dry? feks me, I'll not be trying them then, I've never had a tyre let go in the dry.

Just put a set on the Vee, seems alot more 'planted' and  posıtve, fıne ın the damp early mornıng wıth no dramas but I don't push ıt to the same degree as rıdıng ın the dry, Treated wıth respect I'm sure they'll be fıne.

I had a pair of these put on my Wee an month ago and after 1000 miles in all weathers and all types of road (from torrential downpours along twisting roads along the North Devon coast to glorious sunshine along the M5) I can only say great things about them.

For starters they inspire much more confidence than the originals (even when new on and the roads were uber greasy). Secondly the grip is a thousands times better and they turn in so much sharper. no matter what the conditions they cope superbly at all speeds.

By far one of the best things I have done since getting my Wee  :lala:
