^ The Power RS are brilliant on the road. They turn-in great and rail round bends fantasicly. If a rear will last 3000 miles then I’ve found my tyre. Who am I kidding even if a rear one does not do 3k miles, but I feel it might, I like these RS better than the S21 👍

These new Power RS tyres are allowing me (making me hehe) run into bends at higher entry speeds 😁. That’s how good they are and how much confindence I put in themnow ive a few rides done with them 🙂.

^ Update.
I’m pleased to say that the Power RS’s feel great on damp/wet road surfaces. So that’s another positive.
I hope that they last and if so then even more happier days ahead.

Money aside, these Power RS Tyres are the best I’ve had
on.
Can’t say enough good things.

Longer, feature length video... I guess it will be next year before I get to wear this set out, lol, I can pray for dry salt free weekends tho. I like them and I believe that they suit the big MT

I meant to used a Spock type saying, something like: “These tyres are Rubber Jim (Captain), but not as we know it”, lol.
They are black, matt black and i assume that carbon added for dry grip life makes them matt black and there’s the silica in the mix to for wet grip. Oh and apparently the carcass wrapped back on itself at the edges is what gives the good flex when upright and the nice ridge stiffness when cornering. E by gum, may be all this is why the stick like gumming gum.

I like them and I believe that they suit the big MT Nice video Xplane. In the video you talk about how you prevent water from entering the front USB power socket. Can you please share on what you have done ?

And I cut and glued on a half round piece of bicycle inner tube above the USB chargering socket. Both deflect water from running into the USB ports.

^ update. It is Looking like I’ll get over 2000miles out of my rear tyre. Though Michelin now have a Power RS + (the Plus bit is just for the rear) see their blurb below:
“The rear tire of the Power RS has been reworked and gets a better + for better distinction
The mileage was improved by a higher abrasion resistance. A new rubber compound promises a significantly better wet grip The carcass is also new and should allow easier handling and more ride comfort. Just the rear tyres was replaced with the RS+“.
So happy days I’ll get me a + when my rear is done.

£210 delivered is a great price - where's that from? XP: "It is Looking like I’ll get over 2000miles out of my rear tyre." That's hardly something to write home about - it's a sticky road tyre after all - not a race track refugee. I still haven't got round to changing my tyres from last year, but I got something like 6 trackdays (can't remember now!) and now approaching 5,000 miles out of my Rear Avon Ultrasport 3D - yes it's on its wear markers now but the front looks fine for another 3-4K - but I'll change both for piece of mind - not bad for £168 a set delivered - and I know I threw at least 1000 miles worth of wear away by not bothering to reinflate back to road pressures for the ride home from all those trackdays. Although I'm blown away by my Avons, I would like to try the RSs just because the tart in me loves the slick-like tread pattern.

I had the Avons on my 4XV R1 and thought they were ace.
When a tyre doesn't give you any excuse to change to another brand then why bother. I also liked the Metz M7RR's on my Trumpet although the steering was slowed upon considerably ofter the previous Pirelli Rosso Corsas. If I were to change to either of them then it'd be a coin toss as I couldn't make my mind up.

2k Miles (estimate) is only for update info purposes... The extra cushion affect and good feed back are bonus to stickiness. I do Wonder what the new S22 are like. I like to try different tyres for a way to find what is different. As I can (only recently) afford to do so. Power RS really do suit the (hoon) character of the MT. Oh and yes look good to .
