@@lanzehn2385 18000 is less but see it depends on lot of factors. How you are riding, how you are cleaning, lubing and maintaining the chain. Keeping the right slack. I clean, lube and adjust slack every 700-800 kms. Just check the chain, whether it is straight or not. Check the sprocket teeth condition. If you think it looks bad. Change it. Some weird sound is already there so might not be in a great condition.
@@HighwayToHill Thank you for your reply! I've been looking to upsize the tires on my bike, I just came back from Siremull Hirachand, it's easy to miss their shop from Mount Road, being new to Madras didn't help 😅. I was looking to replace my stock MRF Zappers with Michelins at the rear when the shopkeeper told me to upgrade my non radial front tires too, but suggested me to go with the Alpha H1s. I was aware with the existence of these tyres, that's it, I didn't know how they perform under different conditions, how they corner etc, I didn't know how they compare to the Michelin Pilot Street, so I came over here. Your reviews are really helpful. I am watching your dry grip video.
Yea, it's easy to miss their shop because it's a bit inside the small gully and not bang on the main road.

Do u recommend using this tyre on NS 200? I am thinking of upgrading my ns 200 tyre to 150 as i really think 130 is a bit too narrow for rear. What adjustments should be made to ns 200 to accomodate this tyre? And what would be advantage/disadvantages and possible riding feel difference? Thanks in advance.
I know a lot of riders are using Apollo Alpha H1 on NS200. No modifications needed. But honestly I don't think it's needed. Steel belted W rated tyres are an overkill for NS200. Also, expensive. Won't last too long. It's heavier so it may be noticeable on a light weight bike like NS200. And height will reduce. Upsize to 140. Wider tyre doesn't necessarily mean that you will get better cornering.
Ummm.. Actually I didn't feel that way. I'm satisfied with these tyres. I did a Coorg trip recently and rode a lot in the hills. Always felt great. Apollo doesn't have 140/70 for the R3. S1 is 130/70. 150 is not too wide to be honest. Anything beyond this might affect the cornering. And wider tyre doesn't mean better cornering. Cheers mate 😇
explained the things well but @4:42 such small line can't freely pass away water specially in motion, also see that even that fine groove line is not that deep and after about 5 to 7K kms you have let the small and big slot/groove but not that connecting fine line.
Hey... great to see your comment on my video. Thanks! If you are talking about the siping lines.... Ya you are correct, it won't help in water flow. It's more for traction. However, on this tyre it's right at the edge. Not very usable. Normal riders anyway won't lean so much
@@HighwayToHill i wanna change my N250's rear mrf tyre, what tyre you suggest for better dry and wet grip also not that soft to get puncture or other wear easily.
@@handykamal Hey, you can go with Apollo Alpha S1 size 130/70-17 tubeless. Same stock size for N250. If you want to upsize, you can even go with 140/60-17.
I installed Ceat Zoom Rad X1 on my Duke 250 because it was slightly cheaper and I don't do any touring. The tyre is fine in dry weather and its horrible in wet weather. What's the technical reason behind this poor wet grip?
@@mjacobim Could be the compound itself. The composition of the material used or maybe it is just hard by nature. Silica is more flexible, if it has Silica added then grip might be better than just all carbon black. How they mix these two may also be a factor. Not working well in cold conditions but like you mentioned, it is good in dry. Grooves also matter... It should push out water effectively and quickly. I can see in photos that the tyre doesn't have sipes so that can also be a factor but it is not necessary that without sipes the wet weather grip will be bad. It will help to disperse water. So these are some factors. Hope it helps 😎🙌
Alpha H1 - Touring + decent cornering. Better life than Road 5 and Rosso 2. Reasonable price. 10.5 K. Road 5, Rosso 2 - Very soft compound, super grippy and great for track like cornering. Low life. Price is high. 14-15 K. If you are mainly touring, get the Alpha H1. It's a good balance of grip vs life vs price.
I have seen many bikers wearing that backpack. What is that called? Will it not hurt shoulders in long ride. Any specific use of that? I just wore a back pack or bag and my shoulders hurt terribly after 100 km so I kept it at back seat.
It's a RoadGods Ghost backpack. Has a anti-theft design. Indian company. I use it for riding in and around city. For longer rides I strap it up on the tail.
Hello! i have a fz25 and im confused between the CEAT Radx1's vs apollo h1 the bike previously came with bias ply MRFs so im guessing upgrading to radials will be the best as i ride hard and im a corner junkie. await your response m8!
Hey... nice to see ur comment. Radial is definitely a better choice. Better grip and better handling. Honestly, I haven't used the Ceat Rad X1 personally so I can't recommend it without using something. I have heard good reviews about it though. I'm almost at the end of my tyre life with the Apollo Alpha H1. It served my purpose, gave me 15000 kms and price was in my budget. So I would definitely go for the Apollo H1s again. Cheers!
I haven't used Road5 but I have always received positive feedback from everyone who has used it. Infact, I want to try it next. If you have the 16500 ₹ for it, it should be your first choice. Most new motorcycles come with Road5 factory fitted. It's the first choice. Not sure about the lifespan but folks in my R3 owners group are expecting around 20K kms on it.
@@HighwayToHill I have ordered road 5 online from parthpavers now waiting for the dilevery, i will be more than happy if it goes 16-18k km . It will much more than stock Metz .
Hey dude, hope you're doing well. Im hearing mixed opinions on using 150 section for r3..I may need to change after some time..so wanted to know your opinion on 150 section compared to 140..does it feel heavy , performance degradation..etc..anything u noticed compared to 140 section tyres would be helpful
Hey... I have used 150 section Apollo Alpha H1 tyre for the past 10000 kms on R3. Is it heavy? - Yes a little bit compared to Metzeler or Pirelli. But it won't affect the performance. I haven't faced any issues regarding performance. Infact my mileage is slightly better. With Metzeler/Pirellis my city mileage was 21. With Apollo it's 23/24.
Hello Bro… I have a Suzuki gixxer in which tyre size is back 140/60 -R17 and front 100/80 17. The stock tyre is from mrf revz. Can I use apollo alpha H1 where the size is 150/60 -R17?? Do you recommend? Also there is apollo alpha S1 in 140/60 -R17 size. Pls reply. Thanks
Better to get the correct size if it's available... 140 will be perfect. But usually you can go one size up on width. Eg: On my R3, standard size if 140 but I'm using 150 width. S1 is more than sufficient for Gixxer! Price is less than H1.
@@HighwayToHill thanks for your reply bro.. actually I didn’t like much the thread patterns on S1 and liked more on H1. The H1 looks really cool. So was thinking if I can go with that? It will be an upsizing from 140 to 150 in tyre width.
@@GautamKumar-wq2ue Gixxer is 150cc right? If yes, it may affect top speed and mileage. Top speed may reduce by 3-5 km/hr and mileage may also reduce by around 3 km/l. This what I have seen in 150 cc to 200cc bikes. I didn't have any affect on my R3.
Hey bro... You can look at tyres which are a combination of both on and off road. Example - Apollo Tramplr. There is ST version and XR version. ST is more road focused. XR will be a bit more offroad focused. Reasonably priced bro. Check it out.
Yes, I do recommend H1 for Duke 390. It's quite close to Metzeler. But if you are pushing very hard then stick to Metzeler or Pirelli. Yes, H1 will last slightly longer than Metzeler and Pirelli.
Hey dude... Apollo Alpha H1 will not fit INT650. H1s are for 17 inch wheels. I think INT 650 has 18 inch wheels. Try the stock one itself - Pirelli Phantom. Not sure if it's still available. It's a bit expensive though. Else try the CEAT Zoom Cruz which is the stock offering nowadays. If you wanna go off-road, try the Ralco tyres. Cheers!
@@HighwayToHill bro actually I am planning to change stock 18" spoke wheels to 17" alloys for tubeless and more tyre options , that's why I asked ur opinion
I think you can use 28/33. These tyres are a bit stiff. Not soft like Metzeler or Pirelli. I also reduced the tyre pressure on my R3 by 1 psi. And the suspension on Fzs25 is already on stiffer side.

The only grime which I have that pirellis might not last that long cause I ride quite aggressively Is it worth buying pirelli and are there problems like having a lot of punctures in the pirellis?
@@arnavdarshan1850 The D390 is very harsh on tyres due it superior torque figure. Rosso 2 will be gone in 8K kms. And it's expensive too. Almost 14K ₹. You can go with Alpha H1 which is at 10K ₹ and will last a bit longer. Grip wise it's not bad. Just be aware if you are pushing very very hard. Takes a bit time to heat up.
@@arnavdarshan1850 Rosso 2 are super soft compound, heats up fast and sticky. So maybe because of that metals parts can stick to the tyre and cause puncture.

I don't think it is the right size fit for RTR 200. I think RTR 200 already has a rear radial trye which is good. Stock size is 130/70. Apollo H1 comes at 150/60.

@@arnavdarshan1850 The D390 is very harsh on tyres due it superior torque figure. Rosso 2 will be gone in 8K kms. And it's expensive too. Almost 14K ₹. You can go with Alpha H1 which is at 10K ₹ and will last a bit longer. Grip wise it's not bad. Just be aware if you are pushing very very hard. Takes a bit time to heat up.
@@arnavdarshan1850 Rosso 2 are super soft compound, heats up fast and sticky. So maybe because of that metals parts can stick to the tyre and cause puncture.
@@HighwayToHill thank you very much my man! I have literally watched both of your videos thrice just to decide
@@arnavdarshan1850 Cheers! Thanks man... Great interacting with you.
What is the Tyre pressure you maintain on these?
Front 30
Rear 35
@@HighwayToHill thanks buddy!
Hey there..i own a r15v3... thinking to upgrade my rear and front tyre size to +10 ..and replacing stock alloy's with R3 alloys...can i have a suggestion?
Your voice and content fit's so align .as perfect as it gets
Hii... Any reason why you want to change the wheels? You can upgrade to 150 section tyre at rear. No issues there. I'm not sure R3 wheels will fit V3.
@@srikanthreddy710 Thanks for kind words. Means a lot 🙏🏼
@@HighwayToHill i tour a lot on high speeds.. might have been a reason that i ran into a bump or something... I'm left with a crack on my rear alloy (360° crack near the alloy hub)... it's not recommendable to ride in such conditions but i have done over 5k on the same alloy... thinking to get a new front and rear R3 alloy instead of R15V3
@@srikanthreddy710 Ok but I'm not sure if it will be a direct fit. You need check with Yamaha mechanics about size, fitment etc. Also, availability of R3 parts are a problem now. I have been waiting for chain/sprocket assembly for 3 weeks now. Cost maybe around 14 K for both wheels. Cheers bro 😇👍🏼
Bro pls help me out , my KTM Duke 200 2015 skiddes alot in rain even in very less amount of water i got accidents because of this !!! Is this Apollo alpha H1 skiddes in water?? Pls let me know
No.. It doesn't skid. I have ABS so no chance of skidding. Your D200 is with ABS right?
Bro,i have fz v1 planning for changing tyres,stuck b/w pirelli angel ct and alpha h1,riding style little aggressive,need very good grip duringwet,
Front 100/80 back,140/70
This size is not available in Alpha H1 so it won't be compatible. I'm not sure about Pirelli bro.
@@HighwayToHill can you suggest a good tyre...And what are the available size of alpha h1.
Will it work on village soul raod ?
It's not meant for off road, dirt road. It won't have grip. May skid and slip.
Hi strell... Always love your videos❤️.... Keep it up bro🤘🤘🤘I have r15 v3... I need to change front and rear tyre also...so! 😅plzz tell me which Apollo alpha tyre do i have to change for city as well as highway riding purpose.
Stock tyre size :
Front = 100/80 R17
Rear = 140/70 R17
Hahaa... Few other people also called me Strell 😝 Thanks for your kind words bro. You can definitely go ahead and upgrade to Apollo Alpha H1 for R15V3. Once you finish the break-in period of tyre around 500 kms, it will perform very well. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
@@HighwayToHill Thank you so much Bro😘🙌... When I see your channel name, a song come in my mind.
Song : ACDC - I'm on a highway to hell🔥🤘
Will there be any drop in 'Petrol/liter' mileage with this tyre set?
@@akhilpawar5960 Yes ACDC Highway to hell 😛 On my bike I didn't notice any mileage drop.
@@HighwayToHill and one last question 😅... Ground clearance of r15 v3 is 170mm with stock tyres... Will it going to further less with this set of tyres by 10mm?
@@akhilpawar5960 Ummm... Maybe. R15V3 front and rear tyre total height is 23.3 inches and 24.7 inches.
Apollo front is 23.1 inches
Apollo rear is 24.1 inches
Front is fine. Rear may seem little bit low.
Do u recommend Alpha H1 tyres for CBR 250R ABS ?
Yes.. 100 %
@@HighwayToHill thx a lot. Right now using Michelin PSR n it has completed more than 25k. But before monsoon, I've to change the tyres. Thx for the reply.
@@pinkesh2703 These are better than Michelin PSR. However, I don't think you can extract 25 K kms from the Apollos. But great tyres.
@@HighwayToHill What would be the H1's life ?
@@pinkesh2703 I think for the CBR250R it can go till 18000 kms. On a bike like Duke 390 it will probably last 12-13 K kms.
Do u suggest these for Ninja 650f
They don't have a size for Ninja 650
Bhai Aapne ye tyre bike Kitna kilometer chali yi hy ?
Hi bro... Abhi tak 3500 kms kiya hai maine.
@@HighwayToHill thanx bro ❣
Bro pls suggest tyre for FZ 25 (bs4 2018)
Front and rear
Sure, what's your budget and usage?
@@HighwayToHill 10K... maximum city ride
@@sanjitshetye6293 For just city, you can look at MRFs, Michelin Street Pilot. You can get Apollo Alpha H1 also which is one size bigger. Much better grip and at 10K. Metzeler and Pirellis will be around 14 K and not needed for just city riding.
How much milage it gives bro
I got 28+ kmpl on highways.
How much price of front tyre appollo alpha h1 bro??
Around ₹4500 including tax.
@@HighwayToHill thanks boss 👍
@@HighwayToHill how much km it give bro??
Which tyre is best for ns 200
You can look at Alpha S1. Or MRF Masseter.
@@HighwayToHill ok thank you 👍
@@vamcchetan1520 Sure brother! 👍🏼
Bss itna janta hu ye jabtk meri bike me h iam safe 😌
Sahi kaha bro... Yeh safe tyres hain! 😎👍🏼
Can i install this Tyre on my RTR 200
I don't think it is the right size fit for RTR 200. I think RTR 200 already has a rear radial trye which is good. Stock size is 130/70. Apollo H1 comes at 150/60.
Thank you for your response bro
@@A.chikmande1998 No problem. Also, the H1 is heavy. It will add unnecessary weight to your already light weight bike. So that's another point to consider.
Does it fit in MT15
Yes, it will fit. It will be one size bigger than the stock size.
Bro, where are you from?
In Chennai
Seems like he is an ENGINEER
Life ondo
