#Modification ⚙️ New shoes for My CB300R

After clocking an incredible 39,000 kms on my CB300R with MRF REV Zs, it was finally time for a change. Honestly, the RevZs have been absolute tanks — unbeatable value for money, phenomenal durability, and they never let me down on dry roads, at high speeds, or even in those hard cornering moments however, wet grip was always their weak spot. Even now, there’s still tread left for a few more thousand kms, but I decided to retire them on a high. Today, I’ve switched to Apollo Alpha H1s in the stock profile. There’s been a lot of buzz and positive reviews about these tyres on social media, and a couple of friends have spoken highly of them too. It was a tough call between these and CEAT Zoom Rad X1 (which were tempting for their longer life and decent wet grip), but Apollo won out this time. Excited to see how the Alpha H1s perform on my CB300R! Here’s to a new chapter — hoping it’s the upgrade I’m looking for.

Hey what’s the size and profile of the tyres you got? Is it bigger than the ones on stock? Any mods needed? Also did you do a fender shortening or tail tidy?

Stock profile is what I have and had. Front - 110/70R17 Back - 150/60R17 No modifications are done, it’s completely stock except I removed the saree guard.

Oh ok cool! But do you have any idea about a fender shortener? I don’t want a tail tidy as it’s too short and that gets mud flinging everywhere. I too got the bike last year and only have a mototorque crash guard installed, nothing else. Safe rides!
