Can you us them when it's damp or wet?

Feature Effect Benefit
Double compound on the front & triple on the rear with innovative combination of 100% Silica and Black Carbon Increased grip in every condition and lean angle Enhanced safety & confidence in cornering both street and track, dry and wet
Racing derived structure and profile Increased agility & more accurate trajectory Enhanced feeling with improved bike control when cornering
New tread pattern with slick shoulders Contact patch optimization Increased grip and uniform wear

I have a few options next year when I get round to swapping the tyres on the street triple.

100% silica should be very good in the wet but mean it'll struggle when hot in my experience

So I’ll be perfect for the UK then!

Hey, the second Tuesday in August was pretty warm this year!

It's silica and carbon.

The Rosso Corsa is a road tyre with a track bias.

I'm going to say it...will it be as good as the current M7RR...everything is based on this tyre for me now!

The current Rossos I've heard are great at dry weather but are slippery when it becomes wet...which means there s no point to them in the UK

I have to say in the cold and wet of yesterday my Rosso Corsa's were ok. Bike and good suspension helps, but they were ok, which surprised me.

If you're not seeing the TC light constantly flickering it means you're not trying.

I used to say that.

Now i love my traction control.

I do miss that TC safety net at this time of year. Thankfully the Versys is heavy and under powered so it's not really an issue

Personally I like TC.one the S1krr, GSXR10001 ETC it becomes a necessity in my opinion

Agree with Kwacky.

Heavy and low powered bike with suitable tyres and a progressive throttle and TC is not really needed.

In those circumstances I would be glad of abs as a safety net more than TC.

So who's getting these then? If you get them please do a live in review of the real world
