People always say it, but I’ll add my 2cents. Ryan your videos are consistently EXCELLENT. Thank you for taking the time to plan, film, edit and produce all of these videos. Your team is A+
I cannot agree more! He's consistently amazing at getting the information down and adding his own humor to spice things up a bit.
There's only 2 people on the team.wellplayed !
Man oh man thank you!! I was just looking for info on the Power RS, especially the tire life. Now they shall be my next set of tires.
Dude! U r the boom. Short ,informative and still fun to watch. Keep up the good work.
My pick for best motorcycle channel on YT.
Jeff Wiebe Ever heard of PowerDrift.
Only in Canada pall! 😂
Thank you very much for that
comparison. We are now waiting for 2018 sport-tourist tires
This was a great video! I live in Florida and right now it rains heavily everyday. I am going to look into the Shinko’s after another view of this video.
Thanks Man!
Like João Soares said the Michelin Power RS came in last in the 2017 Motorrad magazine supersport tire test. A few months later it also came in last in the 2018 German PS magazine hypersport tire test - the first in that test was the Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa 2.
Your videos are phenomenal man. I just bought some new Diablo Rosso Corsa II's. Can't wait to check em out!
Update after a year on DRC2's with a 60/40 track to street riding ratio, and these tired kick ass! They also last remarkably well given the intermittent highway riding I do straight up and down on that silica patch. Highly recommend.
Don't own a sports bike but I love everything you do so it was still an entertaining watch.
Hardly anyone does these days. Not enough balls.
Brilliant review. Best I’ve seen. Thank you.
Setting the bar for all other MC channels on YT.
Bro this is the first time I have watched one of your videos... Production Quality on point
Seriously....great vids sir...always fun to watch em
Thank you for your knowledge Ryan. You are always the first one I click on then I have questions about my 1400cc Scooter
Top job as always Ryan! Keep them coming 🏍️
Ryan! I don't think chat have made it clear enough. DID YOU GET A ROAD RASH?!
srsly guys didn't you care to look up the other 5 billion comments asking the exact same question? xD Credit to you Ryan if you manage to answer every single comment.
Daniel Kemnitz that carpet burn 😂
#efficiency :D
are interested in rubbing it better for him?
Noticed at 2:04! Really curious!
you guys notice that it went in and out? I am more interested in if he changed shirts between shoots?!?!?!
Got the Supercorsa SPV 3’s for my street triple RS for track day and the rosso II’s for daily riding. Both great for what they’re for!
Great vid. Funnily enough just bought some Diablo sp’s they are the bomb
Fortnine quickly became my favorite bike channel on CZcams. Their unbiased opinions and reviews makes me come back for more. Awesome job
Thanks Ryan, I've been waiting for this video. I wanted to try a set of Corsa 2 but after this I guess I'll stick with another set of RS.
Jon Hover def stick with RS. DRC2 don’t like painted lines either.
@@CanonMatters2Me thnx for heads up!
Great vid - always a great vid. Best motorcycle series anywhere!
The most useful super sport gear reviews ITW!!! I'm a track & street rider, and want to know what works and how.
Amazing review. You rock man, you are the best.
Love your tire reviews!
Always awesome content👍🏼 Keep it up brother!
The highest praise I can give is that I wasn't in the least bit interested in what is the fastest tyre, yet somehow I watched the whole video because it was well written, interesting and informative. Damn, you guys are good at Fort Nine.
Super Very Informative and Enlightening
Well done Ryan and thanks for the info.
I have a V4, the V3 Supercorsas are holding out for much longer than the previous versions are known to. I have 3000 miles on mine so far, some commuting, some twisties, and a handful of track days, yet they still have ample tread and haven't started acting strange or showing cord.
I ran on my 2014 ZX6R the M7RR for 8000km's (rear tire) with a very uniform wear...super happy with them. Now I'm gonna try out the Rosso Corsa II just for comparison.
How are the supercorsa compared to m7rr and how much millage have you clocked on it?
Thank you Robert deniro's illegitimate son for this fantastic video, my pirelli diablo rosso III's dont seem to wear that great or last too long so I've been researching another brand of tire that will wear more evenly and last longer for my monster 821. I really do a mix of Pennsylvania country windy roads and straight highway speed runs to work that last about a hour each way...subscribed....
Love the new studio
Awesome video, as always.
I own a 2006 zx10r and recently purchased a maxxis super diamond rear tyre.i must say its a very good tyre and great value for money
Thanks for another great video, getting the Power RS based on this for my Z900.
What do you think about them?
@@Birb_of_Judge Loved them, insane grip on wet and even crazier on dry. Instead of power burnouts you get power wheelies on the Z900.
@@nuggex ok because I have heard quite a few mixed reviews about them.
I want to get a Cb650r soon and I am already looking for a good rubber to put on it.
And I think you have convinced me to get them as well
@@Birb_of_Judge Run from Power RS. The worst tire i use. On beggining he is great, when you put 2.000km on him, he is trash, looks like you run on the oil all the time, the rear tire have zero grip on the edges, you cant turn the bike or they slip.
@@nuggex can you confirm any of what João Carlos BRBR said about the tire?
i love how u got straight to the point. sub’d
Very well presented
HOW do you "only" have 300k subscribers?!?! this is GOLD!
Good stuff, will keep these in mind once i finish my S21's.
Don't waste your time , S22 are step
Up on S21 , Good Mileage , Warm
Up Quick , most Of important lots
Of Grip, and as I Found out last week
1400km in the wet they are great
I still sat on 120kph to 130kph
One has to believe in a dude explaining tire grip limit with a fore arm rash :) Excellent video as always!
This was the best Chemistry class yet.
He's my new Prof
Love this guy
I'll be buying tires from him so I can continue watching him.
...wow, lots of great information here - thanks!
Tires and the science behind them and you still make it fun and interesting. Great job.
I see some road rash on your arm, you okay brother?
Be careful If you are running the Michelin Power RS. Pay close attention to the ridges that form between the hard and soft compounds on the rear tire, specifically the 180/55 and 190/55. I’ve personally experienced this issue last year (not sure if that chemistry thing is new and has resolved the issue) as well as spoken with a couple of seasoned riders who have low sided whilst running the Power RS as a result of the uneven wear between compounds.
This is not technically a fault with the tire but something that appears to affect the 190+ hp super bikes that are ridden hard through the twisties or the occasional track day. The Power RS can indeed get 10,000km from a set and they’re glued to the road for the first 2,500km - 3,000km but that tends to be where the trouble starts. The softer outer compound wears away a lot faster that the harder centre compound and creates this ridge between them that causes unpredictable slippage whilst throttling out of a corner.
At 2,600km I took the tire back to the dealer and we measured the difference between the compounds at 2mm, small but enough to get you into trouble. This is very noticeable when starting a turn as the bike feels as if it’s falling when transitioning from the hard patch to the soft.
This won’t affect all riders and really only applies to the mentioned conditions as far as I can tell. During the first 1,500km I’d say the Power RS is one of the best tires I’ve run but it can fatigue and loose grip with very little notice if you’re going hard at the track or cornering through the mountains.
norsey thanks lol just about to buy it
Really interesting, I guess im ok on my S2R Ducati only getting about 80hp (first proper bike after 125's). I currently have a power tire with the NOT softer sides but am considering the upgrade(?). Thanks for sharing!
norsey How does it compare to Bridgestone S21?
The S21 has a slower, more linear tip in that is very precise and easy to correct mid-corner and stands up really easily when powering on. This really helped reduce fatigue on long rides. The wear on the S21 from about 6,000km started to require more pressure on the inside bar to maintain cornering angle which is a good indicator to start budgeting for the next set. In comparison, the Power RS in the sub 2,000km wear had an amazing ability to maintain whatever lean angle you set, I even tested taking my hands off the bars and the bike maintained the corner without any steering input, just throttle. That's something I really enjoyed about the RS when they were just scrubbed in.
Regarding the wear on the S21, at 8,900km there is no ridge at all on the rear, the wear is even across the whole tire and the hard centre line hasn't squared off much at all.
I've got clear lines between compounds on my RSs after 3 trackdays and a ton of life left. I'll say, it still feels pretty damn good lol
Again that time of the year when people start wondering what tires to try for the new season.. I am looking forward for your next updated review with some of the newest models (Dunlop Sportsmart TT, etc.) So far it is hard to get a tyre with 10k km mileage but this old Michelin Pilot Power 2 CT proved itself last year on a summer trip in Italy, Switzerland, Denmark where 6000 km it was fresh as 30% used tyre and I ended up the season on 10 000 where the center is scalped but still ridable for another 1-2 k may be. So how come they sell this old (7-8 years) model still and they have not focused on doing better than it for the last years.. If they still sell it, it means it is top deal and it is.
Keep it up and we are watching you :D
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! !!
Bought my first set of Pirelli 's a few weeks ago and thus far i am a Huge Fan!!! I really thought i was gonna hate them and i was WRONG!! I'm gonna "stick" lol with them for awhile b4 trying another!
Hope you healing up well from the trail rash. Stay safe on the mountain bike trails. 🙂
Is that what happened
I have been waffling on a new tire after getting the Dunlop Q3 and Q3+ and not digging them. They lack feel and feedback, especially when cornering... they are just too effortless for me. I am a former die-hard Michelin Power Pilot Buyer, as much as I would like to stay American I am gonna give the Power RS a try. I don't do track days, I just drive my 2016 ZX-10r KRT 50+ miles to and from work 5 days a week. We all "Like ]To Go Fast" and lean into corner with confidence but dislike paying 2 to 3 hundred on a tire every 3 to 5 k. Hopefully, these are the perfect tire? Excellent review and description as always! Thanks!
I didn't have a motorbike but that channel is so good that I watch the videos even so
I have watched this video multiple times and the mention of Keira Knightly Cracks me up everytime
if I was too much into tires i would definately had subscribed you for the presentation
Never got on with Michelin, such bad feel through the front and rears found them trying to spin up, when traction control on it was constantly working pinning it out of a corner.
My fav are the conti race attacks, judge amounts of grip with excellent feel. Great mileage too even on track. was getting 3-4 track days on the rear.
I run Michelin power. Great mileage and I can still go really sporty in the twisties. Worka for someone who does some city commuting riding and still want to go out and rip!
Is that road rash there Ryan, lol! ... thanks for the Power RS review, I gotta try these out on my personal supermoto very soon!
I currently ride on a set of Power RS, i'm in love.
I wanna try out new tires, like the Pirelli's, but i'm too scared it won't be as good haha
Just in time! Need new tires for my Diavel. Was thinking about trying the Power RS out instead of the Diablo Rosso II we Diavel owners are normally stuck with.
I got 10k KM out of my last set of Rosso 2s. @FortNine do you think the Power RS would be a better performer with similar endurance?
Dude why don't you make a video for 2019 tires? Including dunlop tt? Thank's, your videos helped me alot. Ceers from italy
Top vid ryan as per usual. Like the intro and outro music too. As everyone else has said....what happened to the forearm.?
Ryan,
Well presented, well written. I have binged most of your vids in the last coupla weeks, and as a critical critiquer (sp?) of production values, you get a gold star, and A+ --uh, critique.
I find your comments/observations to be on-point and very real worldy. As a reclaimed biker (I've had my endorsement (license to us yanks) for 50 years, but was without mine-own scoot for the last twenty. I sold my '87 XLH to facilitate, er, ...straighten my twelvish year-old daughter's teeth (her, now, brilliant smile was the result, --thankyouverymuch) then, yielding to adulthood in a tardy fashion, grown-up life got in the way.
All this to say, I recently re-submerged into scooter-trash-dom with a redux of my (albeit much newer) XLH to reacquaint self with the distantly familiar feel of a similar ride, then 3 weeks later added a new Africa Twin to the stable, just for the contrast. I love both rides, and so far have avoided killing the bikes or my salty old arse.
That genesis prompts me to ask, "Hey Ryan, how about a vlog about old fartish guys, again throwing a leg over a bile after a longish hiatus?"
Also, about that left forearm, road rash, or the heartbreak of psoriasis? Inquiring minds want to know. Possible loss of "cool-points" may be at stake.
Thank-You,
Mike
Nice you do ride! Love it rose red forearm.
Really good tire comparasion. Little sad that you missed SportSmart TT. Direct competion for pirelli rosso corsa 2. And in my experience, much better. Cheers
Nasty rash you have there Ryan. Get well soon!
Sport-touring tires often are enough for most people. That, or grab a category next up the line toward racing slicks.
Racing slicks (non-DOT)
Racing tires (barely-DOT)
Sport tires (DOT)
Sport-touring tires (DOT)
Touring tires (DOT)
From my personal research, this seems to be the categories on market.
Lifted_Above you left aside trials tyre! (Block type for off-roading)
I was mainly referencing the most common sportbike tire sizes, such as 120/70 and 180/55.
"it has more grip than i have balls" Love the commentary.... :)
I have the power RS tires. They are extremely good for the S1000rr. Highly recommend them
Loved the Diablo 2s. If you want a tire that sticks and you can trust to drag a knee in corners, the Diablo is the way to go. I've owned 2 sets but they last roughly 4-7.5k miles depending on how hard and often you ride. Terrain plays a big role too. Biggest downfall is that center, just isnt hard enough. I wore through the center while still having another 3-4k left on the sides. Since then I've swapped to Angel Gts and I love them. Not the best for corners but straights and commuting it shines.
hey ryan, nice video hope your arm heals soon man but enjoy mountain biking though!
When are you doing a review of the new M9RR? The M7RR has consistently reviewed very well as a "do it all" tyre (good in dry, wet and track) I have had a set and was impressed. I'm looking for a new set for a sorted 954 Blade to be used on road and track here in the UK. On my list are the S21, RC2 and M9RR. Have heard the main M9RR update is that it has had electronic use factored into it, so not much use for the 954, so keen to hear if there are other improvements as I would expect. Keep up the good work
Hello Ryan,
Love your videos :)
I would really love you to make a video about the best 1. Bikes
Best sport, adv, scrambler, cruiser and city bike ?!
Going to buy a bike and would love your opinion
Have a nice day
And as we say in Germany :
Gute Besserung :)
Great video, who did you rope in to pan the camera for you? It works well.
Hi.
Can you review the new BMW F850 GS?
Rode it today and I loved it.
Nasty road tyres and not adjusted to me prevented me to enjoy it fully. But oh boy, that's an awesome bike. Had just parked a BMW R1200 GS. I prefer the 850.
The 850 is a much pleasant bike. Not as comfortable, but a huge smile maker.
Can't decide if it's better than the Africa Twin, on par for sure, again not as comfortable, but a snappier engine. Africa Twin has probably better suspension.
If you can have both side by side. Awesome.
Running the RS tires on my fz09 and i love them in terms of grip and how they give you tons of warning before breaking loose. However after 3000 miles my rear is shot and thats street riding only. I cant imagine how someone could get 10000km out of a rear.
Not even gonna mention the "you know what" but wanted to say great video.
Cool info!!! 🤙... thanks 😉
Can you maybe sometime in future discuss different front tyre sizes currently I got some very old 130 section front tyres that I just needed to use for a few weeks and they are really great
I have Michelin PS3 on my car
I have Michelin power 2 ct on my first bike cbr250r
Now I know which tire I will get when I need it for my second bike
Nice video!
Hey Ryan ! I would love to hear your toughts about the Nina 400 ! Is it in your plans ? Cheers and love from your neighbour in Brossard !
Hi, are you going to make 'Best sport touring tyre' video for 2018? keen to see how the new Contiroad attack3 and Bridgestone T31 stack up against the Metzeler Roadtec01
So where does the Dunlop Sportmax Q3+ fall? I just ordered some for my L1 GSXR 600.
Hi Ryan so you say that the Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP V3 is using the same compound as the Supercorsa SC in SC2 compound? So what is the difference between the SP and SC then? And in which compounds did you test the Racetec RR? Was it the K3 compound or also softer versions? I am riding on a KTM 690 Duke and am searching for a street legal warm weather supergrip tire and can not decide between the racetec and the Supercorsas. What would you suggest?
Ryan, any chance of doing a sport touring review again since Michelin have a new hoop?
Those Pirelli supercorsas are hands down the best street tire ive used. Better than the 2ct and q3s
Spätzle tires? It made me smile! :)
Something needs to be said about Pirelli in general for the road - when I had P-Zero Rosso on the AMG (ok it's a car tyre) I quickly found the "Zero" stands for 'zero wet grip', to the extent that they were positively dangerous for normal road use, something that Pirelli share with their other tyres, they don't understand wet grip at all.
This is kinda unrelated to the video, but im on your website looking for a tire for my 1991 yamaha virago 750, found a scorcher 32 for my front tire at 100/90-19 m/c 57h
But im having difficulty finding one for the rear,
150/90-15 m/c 74H
I understand that the 74h is kinda changeable as its weight and speed rating but i cant find any other tires that fit the 150/90 sizing, what tires can i also get that would fit???
Is it ok to get a scorcher 32 for my front tire and another tire like a michellin commander II for my rear???
How much does tire tread affect riding???
And what tires should i be looking for??? If you have a video for it and I missed it when i went through your channel you can just leave a link to:) thanks and ive been watching you and learning alot from you, really got me into the biking world and helped me out on more than one occasion:) have a great ride
Good video. But which of these tyres need warmers or which warmup the fastest?
The fastest tyre will always be the one you have most trust in. I've started using S21 and I just can't get it over my heart to try something else. I just know how well these work for me so I just keep going back for more!
I'v just gotten the S21, and i gotta say man no need to change tyre's in the immidiate future. This is top top quality from Bridgestone. None of the other brands are offering a tyre that excels, not just does well, but performes great in a wealth of conditions like this one.
Sick tyre! Pretty odd that it is not in the video.
Same I put Bridgestones on my Harley.
Been watching plenty of videos on tyres and thought of trying out different tyres but i still kept sticking to Angel GT..
Hey FortNine great vids. Can you recommend a analog speedometer that is small and chrome, (or looks close to chrome) with a black or white face that I can mount on my bars. I have a Yamaha Raider. Thanks.
Love you ryan
Thanks for the video dude !
I ride a 2018 Indian scout Bobber .
im looking for aftermarket tires ,because I feel like this stock tires will let me me down xD
Shinko Stealth, 120/70, 150/60, DR-Z 400 SM. Would you consider this tire as a rain tire on this bike riding top level MotoGymkhana races?
I've been looking for the best DOT tire I can use in the rain. No good result so far.
Nice road rash!
FortNine what would you recommend for those weekend hair on fire blitzes (straight)? Which tire? 2014 GSXR1000
Were you riding out around Qualicum this afternoon? Waved to two guys, one of whom was wearing a white helmet and a Raiden jacket...
Hope you are OK, good review.
Man this was awesome wish I had seen it before I brought the tires I would have went with yhe RS. But I brought V3s for my Busa they are gettin put on tomorrow. Question about how many miles do you think I'll get outnof them? My guess once I got them and felt how soft they are was about 1000 to 1500. 😢😛
I got 2500 km out of my SPv2...Bmw XR, pretty aggressice drive style in corners...You can't slide, too much grip and I always felt in control. Now I went for Pirelli Angel GT's, because those were pretty problematic in even slightly wet conditions...
I have a Honda CBR 954 and I need advice on the tyre pressures. I'm planning on using either Michelin or Bridgestone tyres . Front: BT012F RADIAL G /Rear: BT012R RADIAL G
Front: Pilot SPORT E /Rear: Pilot SPORT E
Curb weight: 195 kg (430 Ibs)
Can't get enough of these vids, con you clone yourself and make more? :)
