Country road / Autobahn: (131 points, 2nd place): The already well-known Angel ST will be followed this season by the GT (“Gran Turismo”), for which the manufacturer has given the premises “more mileage” and “better wet grip”. On the country road, the GT appeals with its good sporty properties, which have already distinguished the ST. With great cornering stability, good grip up to high lean angles and good feedback, it is not only appealing for sporty driving. Even with cautious curve swing, the fishing rod drives like an angel and remains pleasantly neutral over the entire lean angle. When braking in an inclined position, only a slight righting moment is to be registered.

Wet test: (91 points, 1st place): There is no doubt that when driving on wet roads, the GT can go a step further than its predecessor. With very good reserves of grip when accelerating and on an incline, it not only achieves the Michelin Road 3, but also the highest speed in the reference curve, but also the best lap time. When braking hard, it shines with good deceleration values. Sliders can be controlled very well.

Conclusion: What a debut. Thanks to the improved wet grip, the Angel GT sets itself apart from its predecessor, the ST, without losing its sporty properties on country roads. A top tire.

MOTORRAD verdict: 1st place 222 points
