Replicator Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 While procrastinating at work, I found myself staring at a picture of Casey Stoner executing a turn with an almost unbelievable amount of lean angle. It made me wonder if he could pull off that same amount of lean using a set of Q2s. I've never ridden on slicks before so I was wondering how much difference they make. Does it increase maximum lean angle or does it just grip more at any given lean angle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm almost certain I'm not exceeding anything on the bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you start to push the Q2 to the limit, or are within 5-10 sec of the track record, then change to race tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
