Tire Construction
- Chemically enhanced carcass materials specifically designed to ensure high dampening properties for variability of road surfaces
- Patented 0° steel belt beneath the tread translates immediately into easily appreciated handling
- Steel belt ensures maximum braking stability and maximizes the contact patch at all lean angles and speeds
- Quick handling response from application of 0° steel belt gives riding confidence at high speed
- Front and rear profiles improve handling performance while reducing weight of the belt system
- Profile tailored for high performance sport-touring bikes to ensure neutral behavior during cornering
- Tire is more stable and handles in a uniform manner, even in high speed riding conditions
- When fully loaded it is more balanced in a corner, more stable under braking
- Enhanced Patch Technology (EPT), derived from World Superbike racing, maximizes the contact patch
- Contact patch maximized in terms of area, shape and pressure, helping the tread to reach an unbeatable grip and stability level
Tire Tread
- Tread design brings both excellent dry performance and high level control on wet roads
- Grooves are concentrated exactly where needed, putting more rubber on the ground
- Central rib ensures traction and grip but also provides high wear resistance
- Longitudinal grooves allow a reduction of the number of pitches
- Reduction of the land-sea ratio without compromising drainage, at the same time an improvement of stability coming from a more compact tread
- Incline of the tread groove wall is also designed to ensure the same water flow throughout the tire’s life, even when the wear process is near completion
- Tread pattern changes over the life of the tire giving a functional an innovative look
- Designed to support the bike even at very high lean angles, shaping correctly the contact area in the best geometry from straight, to middle lean, to extreme lean
Tire Compounds
- Carbon black reinforcement and High Dispersion Silica together with specific resins (low thermo plasticity, high performance) gives low contact rigidity
- High Silica compound with a specifically developed curing system for wear control allows the best compromise between stability, mileage and safety feeling
- Maximum safety feeling on wet, keeping the groove opened for optimal drainage, is granted together
- Provides maximum safety during a long journey as well as in the daily urban route, no matter the weather and the road conditions
- Production system results in controlled resistance compounds ensuring regular wear even under heavy stress
- High adaptability of the compound to the ground (micro contact) in order to maximize the contact patch and offer grip at every lean angle
- Balanced street usage compound to maximize contact at any an angle on public roads
Note: Wheel sold separately.
