Cornering I won't be the correct person to explain as I am no corner freak buddy but it do stick to the line very well whenever I have tried.
Breaking is quite an improvement from my older tire.
I changed to it recently , post a query in the CBR 250R thread they might be able to give a better response as this one comes default with CBR.

Hi all,
Was looking for a best upgrade option for rear tyre for my GS150r . I was looking for a good grip,not too much increase in height and a direct fit(no mods needed for swing arm or chain cover). Stock size is 100/90 -18 .I did visit a nearby MRF store and was intrigued by the 120/80 MRF zapper Q. Whats your view on this one?

Hello Veterans,
Please advise
Got my NS delivered this friday. I want to change the rear tyre which I've read is inadequate. I want to go for a tyre that
1) provides good grip (wet and dry )
2) Is not too puncture prone ( i may be wrong, but i've heard many tyres with good grip are puncture prone too )
3) does not fiddle with my FE too much
4) doesn't take away the flick-ability of the bike
Longevity is not an issue. Price not an issue.
Thanks a ton in advance.
