New Rubber for Bumblebee

Bad rubber went away at 27000km. Casted away is my OE Bridgestone BT23r. I love this dual compound type very much. Soft for sidewall and medium /hard centre for miles.


This is new Pirelli Angel ST. I believe it is not a dual compound mixture.  Just high in silica to provide grip perhaps and mileage too. This rubber is not new entirely as Angel GT is around for quite some time.  But it is cheaper till so you can get a Kfc Bucket for family.



Update:

Few hundreds KM already with this Mr. P.  What i can say is i can feel more grip while using Mr. Bridge T23R compared to this.  Pirelli still okay and gripped well plus it will inspire the confidence in you but not the kinda feeling on what Bridgestone would gives you. So, do i lapped slower than Bridgestone? No, as normal as i usually did. At least now i know what is the difference between dual layer compound versus single compound.  Next target would be Pirelli Supercosas. 

For me, the most important things before tackling a corner is to ensure your bike is stable. So, your braking, your body position on the bike also plays significantly towards your rear end grip methodology in your head. Cleaner and stable entrance yield faster and committed exit.

Be Safe. For Us. For Them.
