Guys, I thinking about changing my tyres. Though the stock Zapper Y have some thread left them, they offer no grip at all and it has become worse over time. It did 31k and is over 4yrs old. I'm looking at Michelin Sirac Street or Zapper Q. Any other suggestions? How about putting 110section tyres?

Zapper y has the worst grip in the zapper series, you can go for mrf meteor which im currently using, its got great grip and stability, or you can also go for zapper c. For front get the zapper fv which is the best tyre but very very difficult to find one, or go for the stock zapper fs.

Re: Honda Unicorn

You can also check for Ceat Zoom.

I am using the same in my unicorn from last 3-4 months without any issue.

Re: hi friends waiting for a reply

thanks guys, i was really looking to buy the zapper q as i heard good reviews about them. If I'm able to source them, I might even go for it.

Please do not go for zapper Q it is very bad tyre, skids like hell in wet & on gravel.

Please buy OEM recommended Zapper Y 100/90 only it is the best one.

Do not go for 110 section it will kill your engine.

Zapper Y are one of the worst tyres I've seen. I'll never go for it again. And 110section tyres is not going to kill the engine. It might put some load on the sprockets-chain, not a big deal, should be manageable if everything is kept in top condition.

The new sirac is supposed to be manufactured by tvs tyres and has terrible grip, ive seen many bad reviews mostly from the karizma thread so better to avoid that tyre.

Re: hi friends waiting for a reply

Sirac Street is a very good tire with good grip. You can experience it in braking.
When we rode uphill Sirac Street never slipped or spinned where as zapper y on cbz spinned.
Mileage dropped by 3kms.
MRF Meteor is heavier than Michelin Sirac Street in weight.

My tire was 1.5 years old. Don't know about the new batch made by TVS

Re: hi friends waiting for a reply

Hi guys, the honda unicorn has net power of 13.3 BHP @ 8000 RPM and max torque at 1.3KG-m at 5500 RPM . AT what RPM should i be shifting to get max acceleration ? Me and my friend are comparing 0-60 Times of the 2013 CB uni and the 2013 FZ-16. Does the unicorn stand a chance against the FZ ? He got the fz in september and wont stop boasting about how his fz will do 0-60 in just 4 secs.. is it true BTW ?

Take it to the max rpm it can go at each gear to get fastest acceleration

keep it around 4k to 7-7.5k rpm.. maximum torque is at 5.5k so you'll get max rush of power around this rpm. ride safe

Mine is 2005 Unicorn with 3.00-18 tyre and was getting 51kmpl (city riding) and After I changed to Sirac Street 100/90 my mileage is 48kmpl.
42kmpl is too low for Unicorn.

Sirac is a heavy tyre, maybe even heavier than mrf meteor

Sirac is definitely lighter than Meteor. I lifted the two tires with my hands and decided to go with Sirac. Also the rubber on Sirac is slightly softer than MRF MoGrip series.

Re: Honda Unicorn

Sirac Street is a offroad tarmac dual terrain runner. It's block button keeps handling steady while off the tarmac. It performs average in wet conditions but I don't have any complaints when run on tarmac. You might want to try Ceat Zoom for the rear as I heard it offers good grip both tarmac and wet conditions. For the front wheel, Mrf zapper fs will do the job. Fyi..only after 100-150 kms you'll notice the grip level of the new tyres.
