Attack's have VERY aggressive nurls... I've heard that they may tear up the soles of your boots if you're riding on the street. Those can be changed out to be either shift pattern apparently.

I've got Vortex on my race bike (R6) and like them a lot, not sure if they're out for the S1, thought they were though

On my S1 I went w/the Gilles. Those have been great, plenty of grip IMO and plenty of adjustability. They make great stuff.

i can say that ive owned about every brand out there.. the ones i like the most are one of the least expensive ones.. i run the vortex on my bmw and like the knurls on the footpegs. i currently own a set of pp tuning,yoshimura,driven,gilles,harris and sato's on other bikes. all of them are nice in their own way but lack grip under cornering loads exerted when at full lean angle and my foot sideways.

Does any one make rearsets that you can just loosen a bolt and "camber" the pegs to adjust them? I have some on my Ducati like that and love them. I don't really want to have to unbolt and try different bolt holes to figure out what setting I like best. Thanks.

I believe the BMW branded Gilles ones have cam type adjustment. Expensive.

Actually the original rear sets are very good in comparison to many other like Suzuki,Ducati etc.They grip way better than any other original rear set I have tried...Yes the aftermarket are better but the S1000rr original are really nice.

Default Cheap solution

I just ordered these. $70 solution to more grip. Brackets $40 and pegs $30.
