Had them on an old bike i had, felt pretty confident with them. I'd buy them again! Very Happy If you do go for them give a review, i might get them when the current bt45 run out on my divvy Laughing

I have the Conti Motion on my Storm. Had them for almost a year and they are great. I've plenty of tread left and enough grip for my riding.

I was thinking of getting a pair of these for my RG125 Gamma.

Tyres are a bit limited for my bike if you want a pair that match due to the awkward sizes.

At least I know now that they are pretty decent. Smile

My dads got them on his CX500, he and I have been very impressed with them. I have ridden it extensively in all weathers and they never failed to inspire confidence.

Cheers Tim.

First impression of the tire very good Very Happy grip is excellent even with zero miles it felt good in the twisties very planted and stable.braking is also very good with and without a pillion Very Happy it has transformed the divvy to be honest i can now push a little harder through the bends with confidence.i have also noticed there is almost zero tram lining either which is a good thing and does not feel like it sticking to white lines like the dunlop arrow max did.i have rid it in the wet a little and it felt good and grippy.also running at 36psi which works well with the divvy..overall for £95 fitted i can recomend this tire for a good alternative to the bt45..

Hope this helps other divvy owners in there tire choice Thumbs Up
