[David S]

Anyone tried the Road 6s yet on a GS? I have had a few pairs on Road 5s and very good. Interested in views the 6s. Thanks

Go for it, create an new path, don't follow others.
It's not going to be a pile of poo.

I will go for Road 6 too sometimes this spring. I'm tired of my Anakee's and the noise coming from the front. However, I only ride paved roads.
Had excellent experience with Road 4 and 5 on my previous bikes.

I suspect there will a Road 7 in 18 months.

It never ends. Any tyre will be better than your ability!

what's the difference between the 5s and 6S? is it a new cut profile ?

Let me guess, 10% more wet and dry grip and 10% more mileage.
And it will be, according to their tests, the best in their segment of the market.

Logically the 6 version will be an improvement on the 5….otherwise their R&D dept had wasted a load of money to develop a tyre that is either no better than or even worse than their starter tyre. The last Roads that I used were version 4 and I have no doubt that the new 6 will be better than those and so I will be changing to the 6’s in April
