I am a motorcycle traveler, and I greatly enjoy touring with my bike, exploring every corner of the country from end to end. Along with my passion for biking, I also pay attention to both direct and indirect aspects related to my bike. Among these, the tires hold significant importance. I have been riding my beloved Honda CBR 150 Thai for a long time, and I have used various tires during my rides. I have used the MRF Zapper 130/70-17 62P tire and covered 25,000 kilometers. I have ridden on all kinds of roads in Bangladesh, from mountainous tracks to highways, and I am sharing my experience with these tires with you today.
Performance on wet roads:
Since I love touring with my bike, I often have to ride in rain and even at night. Despite these challenges, I have thoroughly enjoyed my rides. I have noticed that when riding on wet roads with the MRF Zapper 130/70-17 62P tire, its performance, braking, and balance remain excellent.
Performance on regular roads:
I have completed numerous long tours with these tires, and their performance has never disappointed me. The more I ride, the more I feel that the tire is becoming freer, providing better feedback.
Performance on mountainous roads:
I have also ridden with the MRF Zapper 130/70-17 62P tire on mountainous roads, and I have found that it performs exceptionally well on such terrains compared to other roads. However, its performance has slightly declined on rough mountainous tracks, giving almost zero feedback.
Stability:
The MRF Zapper 130/70-17 62P tire keeps the bike stable at any speed due to its directional tread pattern, which is designed to perform well at high speeds. This type of tire has a tread pattern that rotates only in one direction, ensuring stability.
Cornering:
This tire features an extended tire shoulder that provides excellent feedback in terms of stability during cornering. I have received good feedback while cornering at both high and low speeds.
Overall, I am pleased with how the tire has performed after covering 25,000 kilometers. As they say, nothing is perfect, but this tire has met my expectations, except for a slight drop in performance after 20,000 kilometers. However, I have not encountered any other issues.
