Decided to get the bike out for a 300 mile run today just to get a feel for the tire. About half of that 300 was in the mountains.

I still have to say, that it is the most UGLY tire I've ever seen.

But it pushed through the turns with ease. It was so very smooth and easy to transition with, that I found myself actually running a little harder than I intended with a new untested tire.

To tell that this tire is not made like the others I've tried ... I will have to get off the bike and look. It handled the twisties beautifully. There is night and day different between it and the Michelin Alpin. Now I'm really looking forward to the Ride In. I think this tire is going to handle the several days of riding very, very well.
Very glad to hear it! And as they say: "DarkSide responsibly."
