Thats not necessarily true... MRF had the same reputation a few years back, but look where they are now! Dont Generalize....!Originally posted by rennycornelius View Postas long as thr's TVS written on the tyres....
they can't be anti skid or performance tyres....
This has got NO relevance to the thread, the RTRs braking is way better than the Pulsars... Infact I would say its second only to the R15/FZ league....Originally posted by Samarth 619 View PostThis is what happens when disk brakes are strong, but tyres are smaller. Of course, feel from the brakes is strong on slightest press, but...
Whenever Bajaj upgrades their front brakes, (say P200 & 220) they upgrade the tyres too. So, that braking improves overall...
1) Your wheelbase answer is in the original posts itself....Originally posted by Samarth 619 View Post
2) With the RTR its probably the 'response' that they are looking at. i.e. the acceleration and not the top speed... the RTR160 was said to have a top speed of 118KM, I have rode it to 123 on a fairly accurate GPS
I remember the OD team stating that the bike reaches 120Ks rather effortlessly...
With proper riding and gear switching am sure it would perform even better... lets see when the bike comes!
Ah Nice... but I guess the White stil remains a personal favorite!Originally posted by Grafix View PostA180 in Yellow

They moved on to a tubless platform all by themselves, dont you think its an improvement?Originally posted by rennycornelius View Post
As far as using x Brand tyres for racing is concerned, it has no relevance to what I said....
'says the guy with a MRF C 3.00 x 18 in the rear on the RTR, which is SAME as what TVS uses on the race track
Ignorance is bliss.... I have access to all three of them... (own two, and my bro in law has the FZ)Originally posted by rennycornelius View Post
The FZ and R15 are in a different league all together when it comes to Braking......!Super CommuTOURer� - Talk less, Ride more

I would credit it to the so stable deltabox chassis (for r15).... but then that wasnt the pointOriginally posted by sam92 View Posti would surely blame it on the tyres and not the brakes
On a stock setup, the braking performance on the R15 and the FZ is miles ahead of anyone....
BTW There are people running with the R15s tyres on the RTRs around....

But I would second the opinion that tvs has to improve a lot on there tyre's grips'....!
No two ways about it.................!The FZ and R15 are in a different league all together when it comes to Braking......!
and by far......................!2002 - Pulsar 150 Classic (Still owned)

"The bike gets lighter tubeless tyres with 110-section, 17 inch rear. The tyres feel gripper than before and were zerozed in on after testing five different compounds and pattens. The whole wheel assembly is lighter by about 450gm compared to the RTR 160's."
"The chassis has been strengthened to handle the extra power."

may be i'm liking RTR's braking way too much.....Originally posted by satyenpoojary View Post
i only drove FZ and R15 over short distance so was not able to experience it fully...
but yes if you're sayin thn it is cuz you've driven both the bikes a LOT.....

Absolutley agreed to both the points.... thats why I have always said that the R15 has done a lot of good for us. Suddenly the benchmark is higher... and if we cannot do something new, atleast we should learn and copy them!Originally posted by Devilpulsarian View Post
Now thats a nice bit of info, even OD said that new RTR is visibly the same but has a LOT of small subtle changes to improve it!Originally posted by johnjojo08 View Post
Yeah rode them, crashed them and allOriginally posted by rennycornelius View Postbut yes if you're sayin thn it is cuz you've driven both the bikes a LOT.....
No but seriously if you can get your hands on a R15, try riding it for a longer while... and you will know what I mean!Super CommuTOURer� - Talk less, Ride more
