I never measure the drag with a fish scale LOL. Compared to a standard tension Speed Pro set I can push the the piston in with two fingers

I don't know what they base there standard tension but its a lot different tension then every one else.

You have to remember the top and second are on 1 MM and the radial depth is not much so it makes the drag a lot less then a 1/16/ 1/16/ 3/16 ring pack.

Mahle has just come out with them in the last 6 months and only have used a maybe 7 or 8 sets they seem to work fine so far.
