I want to get into racing since you get to put your riding skills to use and you grow better competing with other riders vs track days. Things holding me back is finances at the moment along with school.

We wanted a good, sticky, DOT Competition front, and of the manufacturers we wanted, and the compounds we wanted, and the prices we wanted, nobody had a 110. So, we went with the 120 and then setup the bike to handle with the 120 on it. With a well setup bike (suspension, etc) we found that the 120 front gave us a good feeling of stability without compromising turning ability that we had with the 110s.
The front is a DOT competition Type 4 (soft). The Type 3 carcass has a pointier profile, and for me it seems it handles a lot like the 110, but it is a little harder. We opted for the softer compound as it is stickier, but I really liked the V shaped profile.
