Some what. I think the s10 tcs programming is a little too anticipating.
I assume the "anticipating" is it noticing the slightly different wheel speeds that occur long before what most of us would describe as a wheel spin is happening.
The rear wheel will be "slipping" at quite modest acceleration (and even at cruise speeds) I did see some data somewhere once that showed something like a few percent "wheelspin" as being normal on a bike going down a straight on a race track under hard acceleration.
Under heavy acceleration in what a rider would consider a non wheel spinning situation there is probably a couple of percent of "wheelspin" from the S10, particularly in lower gears, and this will be compounded by the front wheel going light and maybe slipping the other way (i.e. not keeping up with road speed)
I have noticed my bike feels a fair bit quicker with traction off when accelerating hard in the lower gears, a shame the normal mode is not a bit less keen to intervene, or a "Sport" mode that allows just a bit more leeway but not going as far as the next setting which allows a bit more slide than I would want on tarmac.
