My friend is now using Duro HF 918 TL to his Honda Wave 100R. Compared to FKR tyre that I’m using now to my Modenas CT110, Duro rubber compound is much softer and hence have better road grip compared to FKR. With that sense, I think FKR is good for durability, whereby Duro is good for handling.

Farelli F900 can be said to be ‘run-flat’ tyre for their new series and super strong series. Even though it can be run with flat tyre condition, things that need to be keep in mind is that you must drive below 20km/h and only for 20km range. Other than that, Farelli can’t guarantee the tyre can withstand the pressure and harsh road condition.

CST is the OEM tyre supplier for Honda iCon. I have used Honda iCon before and the quality of this CST is very good and it grips well. Cornering also good. Anyway, Honda iCon is equipped with tube type tyre, but you can change it to tubeless just by removing the tube and replace the air valve for tubeless.

There are many brand of tyre for Malaysia bike market. Some of the brands I never heard of it before, but now available. Even though the brand is new for me, the quality is good and durable for the condition of the road here.

Many of the brand got recognition from ISO, DOT, TUV, JIS and many more.

Recommended price is RM85.

Recommended price is RM95 for 80/90 17.

SGV is one of the popular helmet choice among Malaysian bikers due to its simple design and cheap price. Now Solid Gold helmet has SGV Trendy helmet in its line up with fancy colours to choose. The most popular colour that I have seen is the one in the colour yellow with yellow cap.

The usual size that we used to is size 60, but now, SGV has two more sizes that is size 54 (XS) and size XXL.

I once have used SGV helmet in silver colour. The padding and sponge are good. It helps to insulates the ear from the noise of the bike and the road. For RM50 (recommended price), it is the best you can buy with the note.
