With the Vredestein Centauro ST 160/60-17 installed. Either way - will take it a notch safer on this set just to be sure - till both get replaced as a pair during the next change. Just asked me to watch out for any signs of aggravated wear towards the right side as that will wear out faster due to road banking. The front will run easily, at least till the next service. Got a second opinion from the expert guys at Motonerdz too. The only reasonable choice available currently in the stock size is from Vredestein, but I'm convinced these shouldn't be much of a mismatch! Yep. We (BHPians neil.jericho, ebmrajesh and KarthikK) had checked the tyre condition during the previous ride in Coonoor and concluded that the tyres were good for at least another 5k kms! Looks to have deteriorated and squared off very soon afterwards.ġ5k kms of life from the Metzeler Roadtec01s! Was 19.4k when I bought them in 2018, and the same has been selling at prices close to 35k recently!įront tyre condition, with almost 50% life left and have been giving excellent grip, so I decided to go ahead with a replacement of the rear tyres alone. Took the bike for a city commutes in mid-Jan and realised one fine day that the rear tyres were shot! Strangely - I had not been careless or tried to extract the maximum mileage from the tyre.

The wife, however, was using her HJC CS14 as a daily and need a complete replacement. Has proven to be effective at traffic signals though - where I couldn't see a thing due to fog on the lens, especially in the recent past with the masks on! Pretty straightforward installation, but will need to test it out during the monsoons. Noctex in action! Looks dark grey in the morning with not much hint that it is a reflective material.Īnd lights up like a Christmas tree when direct light falls on it, like from a camera flash -Īlso finally got Pinlock 70 for the helmet. The horrible condition of the old Dainese gear! Picking white fabric was one of the worst decisions! Will use this for rough use inside the city, going forward. And during the day - it certainly suits the Versys colour scheme! Noctex works as advertised and lights up like a Christmas tree when direct light falls on it! Might be a bit more attention-grabbing than I had bargained for - but can't deny the safety aspect of it at night. After receiving the Rynox Storm Evo Noctex pants - I was impressed by the improved quality on offer from Rynox and went ahead and ordered the jacket too.
