Press Tests
“To remember that these Cobra Chromes are a street tyre became very difficult, it was difficult because of the braking and lean angles I was able to get with these tyres. The track was warm and the tyres were sticking to the hotmix racetrack with a level of grip I really did not expect. The harder I pushed the bike the better the tyres felt. They were predictable in both very heavy braking, rushing into turn two at SMSP from around 200km/h and then just burying the bike into the ground with the fantastic Brembo brakes was a real treat, even trail braking late into the corner with big lean angles didn’t phase the front tyre at all.” – Paul Bailey – Bike Review
—
“Traction was excellent – with enormous grip making it hard to spin the rear, even on the mighty rocket. Transiting in and out of a corner, from upright-to-lean-to-upright again was a real joy. The change was more rapid and yet smoother and more controllable too. It is no understatement to say that on both bikes handling was transformed. In particular there was no longer a turn-in lag on the huge 240 Rocket rear, probably due to the highly curved profile. Whatever input you dialed in, that’s what you got out. Confidence-inspiring.”
“Wet weather grip was superb, but not faultless. Coming out of a bend our tester hit a patch of over-banding that caused a brief fish-tail on the Triumph. Hard not to get that on any tyre though.”
“Recovery was rapid, and no-one ended up in the scenery. On the Harley, lock up was possible in the wet, front or back, but again, performance was better than before and we put the issue down to the inherent handling problems of the early model V-Rod we were using.” – Bike Big Mad
