Yamaha TRX850 Enthusiasts Forum

The road smart are they running these in a 60 series or 70 series..and price wise how did they compare out of interest as Quoted $420 pair of pilot powers???
Always open to change

To be honest I can't remember. I got the front when I had a bunch of other stuff done at City Yamaha in Brisbane. I'll check what they put on the front when I go out for lunch.

Edit: Just had a look 120/60 on the front and currently running a square 160/60 Battalax on the rear.

Are they dual compound? The TRX is basically a commuter bike for me, and wearing down the centers constantly is a bit of a pain. And expensive...

Roadsmarts that much dearer?

I liked the 2ct on my Duke, as I said, and I don't really like anything other than Metzeler/Pirelli products. And the Duke is capable of giving its front boot a right caning, believe me.

I don't know about more grip than Diablos - I never really exceed Diablogrip (TM), except when I had my '954, which would liquefy the rear Diablos on warm tarmac and required a Diablo corsa.

I used the 2ct on the front of the Duke with a Pilot Sport on the back - it seemed to work very well if you want something cheaper or harder on the back. Only problem was taking it out at Rockingham with the label still on the Pilot Sport. Sidewaysness ensued.
