There are very few ktm owners who actually ride sensibly, you are one of them. Most of the ktm owners are just bunch of immature kids wanting to open the throttle everywhere. Subscribed.

Yeah man ❤️

[@prashanttudu8788]

13k km done on my Apollo alpha H1 tyres , and still going on my duke 390. These are really good road touring tyre and also in cornering.

That’s how a review should be. Devoid of loud background scores, ample information about the test environment and precise targeting of possible users. Fantastic review, keep it up Oggy F

[@OggyF]

Thank you ✌️😊. Glad you liked the video and the format.

[@NavneethKannan]

Using the Alpha H1 on the CBR250R for over 2000 kms so far, still no noticeable wear and the grip while cornering once the tyre has warmed up is insane. never buying any other tyre for a sub 400 cc bike again.

[@OggyF]

Awesome! Glad you're enjoying the tyre 😊

[@abhilashpsy9340]

This is my first view over ,.all Oggy F vlogs For those who are new to Oggy's channel ..(should have this in their knowledge).. unlike other famous Moto loggers Oggy goes through all of his vlog comments and replies them as well , as he did reply for 2 of my comments which i think are not useful .so make sure your comments to be informative, as this channel seems it is all about sharing knowledge to bikers. comment may not be appreciative but should sound decent. but one thing , First impression = i like Oggy's way of communication, as he will make it up to point , and ...he is as grippy as APOLLO ALPHA H1 types over his passion and what he speaks.

Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. No harm in getting a set of tyres that performs better than the stock ones..they are after all, the one thing that make contact with the road and help you brake, corner and accelerate safely. Glad the video was helpful. Stay safe ✌🏻😊

Dont put on michelin even if they gave it for free.. i met with an accident and ruined my arm. Worst grip.

[@anthonyjithin]

@@killer-xs2lt sport or street?

[@killer-xs2lt]

@@anthonyjithin doesnt matter which. It comes with 'H' speed rating and cant handle 390's acceleration. Best option is metzeller M5 or M7. Second best is apollo alpha H1. Check for speed rating 'w'. It will be printed on the side of the tyre just beside rim

[@shobharani2698]

I recommend you to try Michelin Pilot Road 5 which is a sport touring rain tyres, so as the name tells it's a sport touring which means the tyre can last easily 30,000 to 35,000 kms because heavy silica hard compound at the middle and also the side of the tyre is soft compund and also the treads on the side has been removed a bit compared to road 4 to improve the cornering ability and also tyre has a 2ct+ design which means that the centre of the tyre and the sidewall have the same hard compound to help increase tyre life and cornering confidence and also the wet grip on this tyre is the best than most tyres, this tyre has water reservoir to help dissipate water even at high speed, acceleration, braking, but still u want u to watch some videos on youtube and consider the tyre it is usually double cost as a mrf rev z but this tyre can last double the life.

[@shobharani2698]

This tyre comes OEM in Apache rr310 and triumph trident 660.

[@warriorwithin767]

Its hard for tyre to last 30K feels like over exaggerated 25K maximum

I just installed it(rc 390)After changing the tyres,the handling feels completely different from metz! Like it was different when turning side to side and also when cornering.Is this normal or something wrong?

[@OggyF]

Could you be a bit more specific? Also I'm assuming your older tyres were worn out down the center so it would feel a bit different on a fresh set.

[@arun811998]

@@OggyF maybe thats the reason😅 Just that in new tyres cornering feels different even if I tilt it slightly it tends to go further down

[@laxmanrathod6544]

should i go for michelin street redial or apollo alpha h1 ????? i have duke 390 i want to change front tyre.

[@OggyF]

The Streets are hard compound tyres that will give you a lot of life but may compromise on the performance. The Apollos will give you a good blend of both. I wouldn't suggest changing just one tyre at a time though.. It's better to change both together or stuck to the same model as the tread patterns at the front and back are designed to work together.

[@noddysam7364]

Hi I had planned to buy husqvarna vitpilen 401 & was waiting since year & half by nw company has launched 250 , So can I buy vitpilen 250 are shld i go for duke 390 . I undstnd the specs are more in duke 390 bt wntd sumthg different can u plz guide me assp

[@OggyF]

Thanks for the question. While I haven't had a chance to ride the vitpilen yet since the media rides were cancelled, I personally feel that the Duke would be the better buy if it's not your first motorcycle. While the vitpilen may stand out of the crowd, what matters to me more is that I would probably get bored of the performance of the 250 sooner than I would that of the 390. Just my 2 cents ✌🏻

[@sudhi5534]

Hey Oggy, how are the tyres holding out now? Planning to change the Pirelli Rosso 2 tyres on my Mojo and these look to be a good replacement, especially since I was happy with the Pirellis. Would definitely appreciate a response from you or anyone who has used the Apollos for a while. Thanks.

[@OggyF]

Still running strong. Have completed close to 8k kms on it. No complaints. Also consider the Michelin Pilot Road 5 tyres. Tested them on the track at the new RR310 launch and they were really good too. Not sure about wet grip with them but they should hold up well too.

[@sudhi5534]

That was fast! Thanks a ton, Oggy! Will check the Michelins too!

[@shanonsequeira4499]

Really appreciate your content and find them useful ♥️💯👌 . I am planning to upgrade my bike tires to 150/60 r17 and 110/70 r17 for pulsar 200 ns . Is it safe to upgrade to this size as my bike has got 130/70 and 100/80 stock . Is there a possibility of the tires de-beading during cornering?

[@OggyF]

Highly unlikely but you may want to consult mechanics from your motorcycle's service center before doing so. Also, the handling of the motorcycle would be affected because of the changes in tyre width at the front and back.

[@abhimanyu.ganguly]

Hello Oggy! Loved the review! The way you speak and explaon everything is just on point. One question I had though was how do the Michelin Pilot Streets fare against these. Which one of the two would you go for?

[@OggyF]

Thank you. The pilot street is a hard compound tyre and woul last very long. Performance wise, these are better but you'd get more life out of the pilot streets

[@abhimanyu.ganguly]

Thank you for the prompt response Oggy. The pilot streets aren't really available everywhere these days due to the virus and the import ban. They're selling at about 14K-15K a set which rather seems a bit overpriced to me especially given the fact that they were the most affordable premium tires at a point in time. Not just that they're selling 2019 stock now which isn't advisable I've heard. On the contrary the H1s now come at a price tag just a little north of 10K a set which sounds like a steal to me (both tyre quotations from Kwikfix India) Do you think spending the premium amount on the Pilot Streets is worth it?

[@trevorsequeira1706]

What is the tyre preasure you put in these

[@shshankking]

i think your rear tyre is mounted in opposite direction.. the small 3 lined arrow shape should be pointing in the direction of forward rotation, i guess. Now I don't know if it makes any difference, or it can be fitted either way. But that water channel system must work in a particular direction to work at full efficiency. I got mine installed today same as yours, and its bugging me since.. Not even apollo store owner knows which direction it should be mounted.

[@OggyF]

You're right. The arrow on the tyre wall needs to point in the direction that the tyre rotates when the motorcycle is in motion. I checked and it's mounted correctly. The tread pattern on the front and the back tyre are designed differently cause they handle different responsibilities. I remember reading an article on motorcycle.com about it.

[@fernandes250]

Hi Oggy, great review. I own a 2014 RC390, currently have Michelin Pilot Street, not happy with the performance. Looking to change to either Metzeler M5 or Apollo Alpha H1, I am looking for performance, tire life and cost does not matter, could you please suggest?

[@OggyF]

Hey Roy. While the metzellers are undoubtedly great performance tyres, they're a softer compound and wear out quicker than other tyres. The Apollos offer a great balance between performance and longevity and perform well in the rains too. I've seen a few Indian California Superbike School coaches use the Apollos on their personal race bikes... I think that itself is a testament to how well they perform 😊. Stay safe bud ✌🏻

[@fernandes250]
