BT023 wear off faster than PR2 . Its a sports tourer tires but wif soft compound . PR2 got gd grips on wet n excellent in dry weather !

[DivineCreations]

I've been using BT023, has been okay so far, haven't tried other tires so cannot compare. But based on hundreds of users using PR2, that would be my next tire to try. Go with PR2.

If you like sharp/cupppp corner, PR2 might suit you.... Nice confident feel.... Even the MATA is using them...

 

Paikia, might want to use it as a float ???

Definitely will feel the difference or else why ppl will bother to change to good tyres? Hahaha.

 

I didn't really break in my rear Avon when I get it. And luckily it was really hot in feb when I changed it and I tried a couple of corners from day 2 onwards and never looked back. Of course these couple days the weather is quite cool and rains often, so it's still prudent to exercise some constraint. Haha!!

Road tire have the feel of wanting to cuppppp corner, very grippy n stable compare to semi...

 

While on straight/highway, it has lesser vibration, smoother ride n with good mileage...

[reptiletan]

Yes bro! Cannot agree with you more! These tires feels damn good sia! Just came back from Kulai and the journey was awesome!! I didn't know riding a Tdm could feel this way.. Haha.. It's really damn shiok compared to using the semi.. Even my Gf say she can feel the significant difference.. Ups for PR2! Thanks for the good recommendation guys!

Hi,

I'm looking around for adventure tourer and I'm trying to get information on where is a good place and price for H&B brackets, panniers and top box. Is the bracket universal for other brands too? Hope to hear from the expert here.

Thank you in advance.

First- I am not expert and just happened to learn a thing or two from the other riders.

 

H&B can get from MTechnik at Paya Ubi. Brackets are only for H&B just like Givi racks are for Givis and SW Motechs rack are for SW Motech cases.

 

H&B ain't cheap and racks are specific to each bike models although there are universal base rack for the topbox which can be mounted to existing rails.

 

As a gauge, H&B rear rack for top box is around $220 and side racks for panniers are around $320.

 

Topbox & panniers prices differs from different models.
