Motorcycle News editor Andy Calton has been lucky enough to get his hands on the Ducati SuperSport S this year as a long term test machine, putting around 3,000 miles on the bike in just 4 months.
Andy has been using Metzeler’s Roadtec 01 tyres on the bike, and had this to say in their latest issue:
“With a big trip and a trackday approaching on the Ducati SuperSport S, I wanted something that could cope with both ends of the riding spectrum.
The Roadtec 01s were selected as the tyre of choice and on my 1,300-mile round trip to Scotland I was impressed by their ability to cope with the varying conditions.
Despite a lot of motorway miles, they kept their shape and tread pattern and within a week were being called to supply great levels of grip and confidence on a wet-but-drying Rockingham racetrack.
They coped admirably, although they did start showing some signs of wear as the track dried.
Now they have completed almost 3,000 miles, they are still performing. I am not sure I’d tackle another track day on them, but they’re fine for cold and wet commutes.”
