OK, I’m doing a translation, and I’d be most grateful if you could help me understand a few abbreviations. The tire/brake specs for the motorcycle are given as follows:
FR 110/80-18
W disc brake
RR 150/70-17
RR disc brake
OK, I know that “110/80-18” and “150/70-17” are tire specs.
But what do “FR” “W” and “RR” stand for here.
My Google fu has failed me. I am in your hands. Thanks!
Radials.
Front/Rear.
Thanks. But what about “W”?
So “FR” is a front radial tire?
“RR” is a rear radial tire? AND “rear radial” disc brake?
Thanks for further clarification.
FR 110/80-18 = Front tire size
W disc brake = with disc brake (as opposed to drum brakes)
RR 150/70-17 = rear tire size
RR disc brake = rear disc brake (it’s common for rears to be drum and fronts to be disc on older bikes)
So a slight inconsistency in the labeling of the rear brakes but that’s it if I read it right, it would really help to see the whole ad and especially what the bike is.
MikeG,
I think that covers it. Thanks!
This might be what the brake designation is referring to.
