Fitted these up to my VTR 1000 yesterday and went for a scrub in ride.
I have just come of some Bridgestone T30 tyres that gave me excellent service achieving over 9000Klms under a wide range of conditions from thrashing over my favourite mountain to long distance touring.
I thought that the T30 was a great tyre until I sampled the T21s.
The grip level has to be experienced to be believed, the bike tips into corners soo much easier and seems to ride smoother.
All in all these tyres are coif dense inspiring and even if I don't get the mileage out of them like the T30s I will be happy as the bike is much more settled and tracks and rides so much smoother.
I am very impressed with the way they ride over rough surfaces , the bike just feels so much more responsive.
Big WOW , I didn't think that a tyre could make such a big difference to the way the bike now steers and responds.
I am glad that I took the recommendation of the folks at MCTW as these tyres are a big confidence booster and make riding the bike at it's upper levels so much better.
Try these out, I'm sure you will be as impressed as me.
Once again I am a very satisfied customer (This is the 5th set of tyres I have purchased from these folks )and appreciate the service and advice.

Long Life
After having the S21s on for 7'months and clocking up over 5000k I can now confidently say that these are a worthy tyre.
All sorts of conditions even some dirt riding and they are about half worn. The good thing is that they are still feeling good and haven't lost any of their performance.
I am very happy with these tyres and will replace with the same when the time comes.
At this stage it appears that I will get the same sort of mileage that I got out of the t30s that they replaced.

Another World
So firstly ive been riding for 3 years and ive been riding my Triumph Street Triple for over a year of that. I got about 23,000klm out of a set of Pilot Road 2's (yes you read that right) which came with the bike and they were fantastic to learn road riding. And after touring, commuting and 2/3 track days on those tyres I was ready to pick my first new set of rubbers haha. So after countless hours online watching reviews I found myself finding the S21's were perfect for what I needed (street riding w/ track in mind). So as you might have guessed I have picked up a set and did 200klm in the first day I got them fitted and fell in love. Extra grip and the confidence knowing that I can use them every day and nothing funny is going to happen.
Defiantly would recommend to anyone looking for a street tyre with more grip without forgetting that you use the damn things every day for riding or work or blasting around the hills on the weekend!
Well still Ill be interested to see how long I get out of my S21's but Im hoping to move on the Trumpy before I need to fit another set
