Now with the ever rising popularity of these machines, the Madras Rubber Factory has finally decided to up the game with the release of a new tyre, the M.R.F Meteor in a larger size, which is 110/90.
The plus points of this tyre are:

  • The round profile, which unlike the older tyres, provides much more lean angle grip. This used to be one of the biggest problems with the old tyres.
  • The pattern of the treads which provides ample grip in the dry(wait for the monsoon to set in a couple of months if you want a wet weather update).

I bought this tyre for Rs.1,500/- when I was in review AVL 500 that I tested recently came with the good old tread Nylogrips. Even if not as significant and obvious as in the AVL 350, you could expect a drop in top speed of the A 500 too with the Meteor.

The Meteor is a good tyre and the terrain that you ride in or just what you look for in the tyre may make this an ideal choice for you. But, I am not really missing the Meteor and my motorcycle feels much better with the Nylogrip 3.50 x 19, because I like my motorcycles to be fast(er) and do not mind the small disadvantages of this one.
