The only time I’ve gone down on my V-Rex since I bought it new in ‘08 was several years ago when I hit a patch of slick road surface - probably something leaked from a truck - and found me and my bike sliding to a stop on our left sides.
Have had occasional heel strike issues but learned early on how to avoid/deal with that.
