Tip of the Day

Learn mirror memorization

Even if you’re not a car enthusiast it still helps if you can recognize car silhouettes from a distance. A short glance into the RVM’s reveals some vehicles following you. Situational awareness is the key to safe riding.

    Thanks in advance.
    Zapper Y vs Zapper C = Zapper C

    Both Zapper C & Q is best
    If you want tubeless go for Zapper C else go with Zapper Q

    So wish to know what can be the reason and any body having similar problems with tubeless tyres? Can filling nitrogen solve the problem ?
    Filling nitrogen ll not slove the problem.
    Check the mouth valve that maybe loose or damaged.

    Get the puncture repaired from a puncture guy and fill air.

    Yes,check that too.

    3.50*10 translates to about 89/100-10.
    120/90 is an oversize..it will never fit the rim..you will have to change to a bigger rim i guess..

    The answer is NO. The michellin pilot sporty front tends to slip a lot and while riding if the rear slips it is kind of managable but if the front slips then u are in for a crash for sure. And if u are keeping the rear same then downsizing the front is not a good option at all. better to stick with 90-90-17 MRF ZAPPER FS which is the real VFM front tyre from mrf. have clocked more than 6k kms on it and only 1 thing AWSOME. Be it stoppies or sandy roads, the tyre performs its duty really well. and at a cost of 1550 INR it is a steal.The second option would be a mrf zapper 80-90-17 the r15 v1 front tyre or better if u can get the 90-80-17 mrf the tyre on r15 v2.

    I am already using a Zapper FS 90/90-17'' for the last 50,000 kms
    The tread is still good and can easily go another 5-10k kms..
    Just wanted to know if the Pilot sporty was as good as the Zapper FS in terms of grip..but from what you are saying, I will have to rethink my options..
