Delivers track performance on and off the track. Profiles and structures set the new benchmark of the segment ensuring high support while leaning and fast stand up while accelerating out of the corner. Pirelli patented EPT (Enhanced Patch Technology) matched with a three zone compound on the rear, optimizes the contact patch for the best grip on road and racetrack. Pure racetrack performance combined with the comfort and predictability you expect from a high-performance street tire. World Superbike development technology improves structure and compounding. Continues with the aggressive Rosso tread design.

Traction!
August 17, 2012
"I have bought just about every tire brand there is and I favor the Mich pilots, I have 7 years of road racing under my belt so I'm no stranger to tire performance.
I thought that I would try these if world superbike uses them they must be good... And yes they are good! A great street tire is what we all are looking for. You will not be disappointed. As for ease of installation I do my own mounting and balancing and they are.

Comfort with protection
July 19, 2012
"I have have had seven years of road racing and have went thru a few sets of leathers and these are the most comfortable I have ever worn. Very stretchy and soft with massive amounts of padding they also breath well. They look real good to, I'm 5'10" 195lbs with a muscular build I bought a 58 euro 48 us.
These are great leathers. If cost is an issue save a little longer just for these you will not be disappointed.

The Ultimate Racing Glove. Its not just a good-looking glove. To understand it, you need to know more. Palm and back in highly abrasion-resistant, sweat-resistant, and colorfast kangaroo leather. Unlined palm. Back and thumb fully padded with shock-absorbing Suprotect and 100% Kevlar. New: Held has discovered that one of the most common injuries is dislocation of the little finger. This happens because the little finger is inadequately protected. To avoid this, Held has given the little and ring fingers additional Kevlar padding on the inside and outside. Pre-formed, crumple-free palm. Special flat seams reduce pressure points on the inner hand, and enhance feel. GFK shells with 100% Kevlar ceramic polymer matrix coating give perfect protection to the side of the hand and knuckles. New: Side of hands and knuckles protected with highly abrasion-resistant rayskin, (dasyatis bleekeri), a world first. This is underlaid with shock-absorbing gel, for unmatched impact protection. Protected hook-and-loop straps on the cuff and wrist. Visor wiper.

Michelin designed the StarCross MS3 motorcycle tire for soft to intermediate terrain. Michelin StarCross MS3 tires were developed with serious racers in mind, and feature a reversible tread pattern that clearly shows when to reverse the tire on the rim. With mirror image knobs, the Michelin MS3 motorcycle tire provides equal traction in both directions on a wide range of terrain. The Michelin MS3 tire also features an M-block knob pattern with reinforced scoop-like knobs that are widely spaced with staggered shoulder knobs for superb cornering action. Michelin MS3 tires also feature super stiff sidewalls for high-impact shock absorption on impact. The Michelin StarCross MS3 tire has a flexible tread pattern that minimizes rebound on rough tracks and helps keep the tire in contact with the ground. Note: The Michelin StarCross MS3 motorcycle tire is sold individually.

Good for saving levers and grips

"They did there job, no more bent or broken handle bar parts. Very protective on the hands and strong materials used. Never bent."
 
Pro Taper grips are some of the most widely used grips in professional motocross because of the quality grips they offer. The Pro Taper Pillow Top grips are no exception. The new Pro Taper Pillow Top Lite grips utilize a low profile design for better feel and hand control. The Pro Taper Pillow Top Lite grips are covered in small square cushions (pillows) which give the riders hand extra support and comfort. The Pro Taper Pillow Top Lite grips are made of a custom Kraton rubber compound which provides a super-tacky feel and great glove traction. The thickness of the Pro Taper Pillow Top Lite grips provides excellent vibration dampening which will aid in the resistance of armpump and hand fatigue. Pro Taper Pillow Top Lite grips fit any standard or oversized handle bars for motorcycles and ATVs with a twist throttle application.
