With it’s 16″ front tyre, many riders think that they have a VERY limited choice of rubber for the Honda RC45.
However, responding to a rider who recently wrote in to MCN to assess his options, our very own Bryn Phillips reveals their is probably more choice than you think.
The bike comes with a 130/70 ZR16 front and popular 190/50 ZR17 rear, which gives you a number of tyre choices:
- Bridgestone Battlax S20 – Award winning hypersport tyre, tested and approved by Valentino Rossi.
- Bridgestone Battlax BT-016 Pro – The older, but ever popular hypersport option from Bridgestone.
- Continental ContiSportAttack – Sports tyre offering superb value and performance.
- Dunlop Sportmax Qualifier II – Probably Dunlop’s most popular sports tyre.
- Avon 3D Ultra Sport – British made hypersport tyre featuring 3D sipe technology.
- Pirelli Diablo – A long standing, popular sports tyre.
Now you know what rubber is available, all you need to do is get your local dealer to order in a pair from Cambrian Tyres, the UK’s number one motorcycle tyre wholesaler!
