Re: MRF MASSETER - Master the art of cornering with with the new tire offering from MRF
Thanks to MRF, at least we have some desi options to cater to this growing segment. They should have more options in the tyre size they offer as we have multiple brands in the 200-400 CC category here but I guess those will be released too gradually.
I am not very sure of how much effective the central grove in water channeling as there is no exit path for that channel and they have made it a continuous grove without connections. The soft compound is what helps the grip but we have to find out how good they are for urban commute in our country which has lots of potholes/debris on the roads because no one will like to end up with a puncture on the street, that too in the monsoons.Comment

How hard is it for these people at MRF to release a 110/70 profile for the 250-300cc motorcycles especially when they seem to have the 140/70 tyres ready?Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.Comment

Beautiful. Yes, to your point about the shoulder profile, I second your thoughts completely the mm profile on offer isn't going to be much of a help either, unless one is extremely cautious in knowing what ones putting the front end up to, can it be twitchy, I presume so. So to your point about 9 mm difference, we can only know what it offers on tap when a user opines.Originally posted by Praful View Post

Has anyone tried this with cbr 250? I am in mood of changing the crappy contigo's to michelin pilot street. Could definitely give MRF a dekho.Comment

Re: MRF MASSETER - Master the art of cornering with with the new tire offering from MRF
they already have a very good tire in the 110/70 size, i.e. the Revz FC (or the newer Revz FC1) - the one that comes on the Ktm 200's.Originally posted by Nithesh View Post
and probably the same reason they have not launched a 150/60 size too..
forget the marketing terms.. the 150/60 and 110/70 revz c/fc/c1/fc1 are similar rounded profile and a soft-ish compound with good grip.
the masseter seems to be targeted at other motorcycles that did not use the 150 and 110 sizes, and this market is huge.
Just because it has a different sub-brand let's not assume the existing one (revz c) is bad or this is better. To me, it seems they made the right decision in not duplicating their tires (150 or 110 size) under different sub-brands.Last edited by s1d; 12-25-2016, 12:01 PM.Comment

Installed masseter tyre on my pulsar 220. 80/90 R17 front for 1700Rs. 120/80 R17 rear for 3000Rs.
More round profile compared to vyde will surely help in cornering.Life Motto: live, love, laugh... but when all goes wrong:ready, aim, FIRE!!...

Still yet to see the Masseter on shelves. I've been running on a pair of Revz C and FC for the last 10K+ kms. Offers more bang for the buck, and even though the rear is 150, there is no noticeable difference in speed/mileage. They've updated the model as Revz FC1 and C1 now. Got mine for 5500 a pair in September.Comment

Re: MRF MASSETER - Master the art of cornering with with the new tire offering from MRF
Kindly help me understand, are Masseter Tyres Radial? Tyredekho.com states its radial but MRF no where mentioned that they are. I ride an AS200 with 100/80-17 up front and 130/80-17 at the rear with the worst stock tyres ever made, the 'Euroslips'. I want to change to an all weather (specially wet road) radial and upgrade to 110/140 respectively. Any advice?Comment

Re: MRF MASSETER - Master the art of cornering with with the new tire offering from MRF
Why Order? It is readily available at Nashik tyres @ Ashok Stambh and Another large MRF shop on ITI Ambad road near DHL whose name I don't remember.Originally posted by karpawar View Post
Just change both tyres on my P220 to Stock MRFs (Zapper FY and Zapper C) yesterday, didn't feel the need for Masseters for my kind of usage.Advice is a form of nostalgia.
Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.
