Pit stop strategy? Write and screw. The timing in the tire test is right.

Conclusion: How many racing genes must there be in a sports tire suitable for everyday use? A trade-off that every manufacturer has to make himself. Basically, the test field is close together. The main differences only appear after several sharp laps, when the load is too great for some tires and the cornering stability decreases due to noticeable flexing movements on the rear wheel (Bridgestone, Michelin). This is not the case with the two best in this chapter (Pirelli, Dunlop).

A “safe” stoppie in the rain: the picture not only shows the efficiency of modern assistance systems in sports motorcycles in a particularly impressive way, but would also be inconceivable without a tire specially designed for wet roads.

Conclusion: Michelin is back! After the Power Pure was designed a bit too pointed when wet, its successor, the Power 3, scores with significantly more balance and extremely high adhesive reserves. Together with the Bridgestone, it can clearly set itself apart.

Conclusion: In principle, the ranking of the race track rating is reversed in this test chapter. Overall, Pirelli and Dunlop respond very hesitantly and cannot bring out any real advantages with their hard basic structure. The much smoother tires from Bridgestone and Michelin do this much better. A real high-flyer in this discipline is the extremely handy Conti Sport Attack 2.

Good news for all fans of the old Michelin Pilot Power series: It’s back – and better than ever with the Power 3! The successor to the hapless Power Pure made it to the podium straight away and tied for first place alongside last year’s winner Bridgestone S 20. Both thanks to their outstanding properties in the wet with a comfortable advantage. Third place is shared by two recommendations: the Conti for country road hunters, the Pirelli for the racing faction.

Racetrack: (93 points, 1st place): Compared to the Dunlop, which is also very sporty, the Pirelli is quicker to warm up and provides good feedback. The cornering stability is great and remains at a very high level even after several laps under load. The grip reserves are particularly plentiful when accelerating out of corners. It is also top in terms of steering precision and handiness. The fastest lap time next to the Dunlop Sportsmart confirms the racetrack performance.

Country road / Autobahn: (88 points, 4th place): Sporty drivers will appreciate the high cornering stability and steering precision when driving briskly in the upper speed range, but during normal use, especially in cooler temperatures, there is a lack of feedback, such as Bridgestone, Conti or Michelin.

Wet test: (79 points, 5th place): Grip in the rain? A foreign word for fair weather tires. When accelerating, the Pirelli turns the rear wheel early, while in corners the grip is far removed from that of the S 20 and Power 3. With good deceleration he can make up some time on the brakes.

Conclusion: Sporty drivers and highly motivated hobby racers will get their money’s worth with the Pirelli. There are better alternatives for everyday drivers who are also out and about in the rain.

MOTORRAD verdict: 3rd place – 260 points
