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.

After 7K miles I still had very legal tread on the rear. I decided to change it anyway because I did a long weekend in the Adirondack mountains and did not want to take any chances. The front stayed on - it still looks great. I ride an '01 FZ1 with Hepco Becker hard luggage and passenger. These are great tires for grip and mileage. This is the best tire that I have ever used in my 40 years of riding.

Can't rate tread life yet, only have 500 miles on the tire. Performance is excellent. Better than the factory tires on the ZG1400. Would recommend to any sport touring rider.
