Excellent wet weather performance with our revolutionary patented Michelin XST Evo water drop sipes , which grow wider mile after mile. Blackwall. Tubeless (TL).

Review: This is my first time not running a "street slick" like a SuperCorsa SP or similar (on superbikes) and I have been VERY impressed with these tires on a V2 Ducati Monster 900S. Good dry grip and excellent wet traction. They may not be sufficient for high HP bikes or very fast street riding but they work perfectly for aggressive cornering on a low HP bike like the Monster in the wet or dry.
Review: Very high quality tires for my 1018 BMW R1100RT. I got 13,000 miles of my last set of these for my Beemer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by S***M on 6 February 2026*

These tires grip, they heat up quick also.. Ive road raced in the past and the edges of the tire are soft and you can drag knees on the street!! The center of the tire takes awhile before they start to flatten out, you'll get great mileage out of them..
