Or you could go for the Bridgestone BT020/BT021. They're good sport touring tyres for our bike. But the Diablo HR is gd and serves its purpose for HR rated tyres. Especially meant for the Class 2A machines.

 

thanks bro, but im nt keen on BT tyres. trying something diff.

[Fazli]

Don't leave out another option for our bike. Continental Road Attack/Sport Attack. Good all rounder tyres.

JUs equip my bike with a new BT003RS ZRating will give my hand on impression asap....

will do a comparison with Alpha11....

for now i will be clearing off the wax on the tyre 1st....

 

 

the 1st impression it gave me was.... with the wax on... it keep pulling me down when i corner with only about 50degree angle....

will update with pic later on....

does "pulling me down" means it isnt good? i thought like that, easier to enter into corner?

thanks for the review... at least we get the rough idea...

[k3ndokaz3]

hahahah.... it because of the wax still on... it got no grip and it cause the bike to be pull down......hahah

[k3ndokaz3]

ok here a dry review of the BT003....

 

for dry.... the stability is way better den A11 on the dry....

 

with BT003 cornering is as stable as like u having a invisible damper..... it just that stable....

it just a level above A11 in stability..... but... for stability it trade off the flexibility..... ie. flipping left and right is way too slow and need abit of arm power.... as for A11 u need abit of arm power to stable the steering if u got no damper....

 

 

anyway... still trying out diff things compare to A11... will update again...

Pulling you down on new tyres is normal as the profile of the tyres are stil new. Once you get the right lean, just throttle up and clear the corner.

i ask unique about pilot road 2 or m5 betta, all of them say m5 coz got 5 compound and it is the latest model and jsut add 10 bucks extra for m5, pilot road 2 currently selling 310 at unique, havent try michelin bfore, but its up there with the last pair of tyre that i used which was bt 021.

[at0m87]

M5 man. no regrets!

[ResmeN]

Update on M5 usage:

 

It's been a month since I have had stock tyres on my revo changed to Metzeler Sportec M5 Interact. All I can say is wow. With these tyres my riding has improved dramatically compared to the stock tyres. Now the bike tips in to corners easier, the feedback from the road is better and the bike feels like a completely new beast.

 

Grip in the wet...don't even mention it, it is unbelievable. It inspires so much confidence in you when riding in the wet it is awesome.

 

Been a month and have so far done 3000kms, I have nearly slayed the elephant. After a few more rides I think I will get him.

 

If anybody wants anymore info about these tyres the links can be found in my earlier posts which are above.

[Fazli]

Seems like M5 has got good feedback by users. Wonder how long it'll last.

 

Resmen, I believe you'll "slaughter" the Elephant soon. I slaughtered my M3 elephant within a week cos the tyres are so much fun and sporty to ride.

[at0m87]

ya the M5 makes cornering in seems so easy. still dont really dare to go all out on Wet roads yet - phobia...

[Team_Commander]

[Fazli]

Very small holes in the tyre, losing air from the sidewalls/beading, check your valve stem. All these symptoms can check using very dilute soap water and spray onto the areas you think are leaking.

my fren said it might be because of dented rim? but i don see how its dented unless internally..
