This is a very good tire, better than its predecessor the Trail Wing. Rides well, handles well, wears well. I have Battle Wings on both wheels. This is my second one on the back. I'll buy them as long as they are available.

Third set of these tires I have put on my 06 Vstrom 1000. Great touring tire, great grip on wet roads, not bad on dry dirt. Dont use on mud or dep gravel. I get approx 14,000 km on the rear, little more on the front before they start to cup.
