Re: [ST] Diablo Vs. Avon ST45 front



I really don't know about "sticker". I don't have the miles yet. I did not really have any problems with the ST45. As I said the Diablo feels very "planted". So if forced to answer I would say yes it is sticker.
As someone else said, the Diablo is suppose to be sticker then the ST45. It should be something like the M1.
