      Anybody has any idea about its dry and wet grip?

      i have been using dunlop challenger on my splendor for the last 60k kms!

      2.75 18". i was very satisfied with it i went for the same tyre again without any second thought! excellent grip in wet and dry. but the tyre life is less when compared to mrf's.

      not sure how it will perform on shogun!

        Thanks mate! Approximately how less is the tyre life? I don't mind a bit lower lifespan if it has better grip. And could use grip when riding the gun! And the price at Rs. 720 is tempting.

        Anybody else has any experience with the Dunlop Challenger on a Shogun or something similar??

            about 30K KM's as against 40-45K Kms on a gripless MRF!

            All Apache's have same tyre config.

            About options, the best way is to go around the tyre shops in ur place, note down the ones available to you and ask here if someone has used it and how it is.

                You can go for stock front tyres..... and Pirelli Speed demons (110/80 x 18") at the rear.

                Btw... I got MRF Zapper Vyde fitted today @ Rs.1.5k.... feel is solid... the bike height has increased from the rear.... feels pretty grippy... acceleration has increased a bit and so has the top end.... did a 136kmph while returning

                        Life of Pirelli should be around 13-15k kms..... cost should be around 1.8-2k....

                        • @chetan: Sachin the garage guy got Pirellis for 3200 (rear) 120'.. he fitted it in his ZMA
                          Those people who tell you not to take chances
                          They are all missing on what life is about
                          You only live once so take hold of the chance

                            Hehehe... Lol! Guess the Dunlop Challenger seems to be the best price Vs. grip deal...

                            Can anybody tell me what difference it would make if I put tubeless tyres on the CBZ-X alloys... as against the stock Tuff-up tubes and MRF tyres?

                              AFAIK. MRF Zapper - Q and IRC 110/80-18.

                              I secnd tht!

                              1st mrf tyre lasted a good 48k kms and caused a superb skid.......and my splendor had its 1st crash. i was riding pillion when this happened.

                              this 48k included very hard riding lots of burnouts too

                              My front tyre is still stock after 98k kms and it will last another 3-4k kms.......its a MRF

                              Dunlop C - 28-30k under normal riding and occasional burnout! The current Dunlop C has run abt 20-25k and it still looks good enough to last antoer 10k!(no burnouts till now)

                              one thing i like abt this tyre a lot is it gives screech sound as if a car had screched. i used to scare ppl and dogs

                                Checked the MRF site..

                                Found 2 more variants i.e. Zapper Q 100/90 - 18 and Zapper Y 100/90 - 18

                                But, d these have Tubless options..!??
