Twelve months on SIP tyres

We live in the age of soundbites. Never have we had access to so much information yet never has that information been so shallow. It’s a concept that suits manufacturers well.

Especially tests conducted by people who know what they’re talking about. Which is why we were keen to take the SIP team up on their offer to supply a selection of their own tyre range, pre-fitted to their own tubeless rims. They weren’t in a rush for the result, they wanted it done properly and they wanted the opinion of real scooterists.
