I just got the bike this summer and Monday was the first time it's touched snow so there's not much to report yet. I can say that the 2 inches of fluff was not even noticeable in terms of handling or speed. About all it did was quiet the "ruhrring" sound of the rolling tires on the asphalt. More reports as the year progresses. I'll be out in it and I've got 2 sets of rubber to snow test, the Big Fat Larry's and the Bud and Lou. C'mon Winter!
