Overall Fulda MultiControl review
According to the test results Fulda took 4th place.
Main conclusions:
Average dry performance.
Relatively long wet braking distance, but good handling and lateral stability.
Low straight and lateral aquaplanning resistance.
Winner on the snow: very short braking distance, the best handling, traction and slalom.
