Anakee's versus Trailwings
« on: December 24, 2014, 20:14:42 »
Do Anakees square off as quickly as Trailwings (or whatever the stock rubber is)?

I've found Anakee 3's are much beter than the 2's for resisting irregular wearing . my Aanakee 2 front wore very strangely.

I have a pair of TWs that came off my Strom at 2,000 miles - they are noticably worn in the centre. I sold the bike with the replacement Anakee 2s on it with 5,000 miles on them and they looked less worn than the TWs do.

Been very impressed with the Anakee's  road holding compared to TW's fitted, especially as the weathers gone crap and the farmer's around here have decided to decorate the roads with mud off the fields.  :auto-dirtbike:

Wonder if she's regularly worn in the centre?
