Design and Materials

• The tread patterns effectively drain water to enhance grip feel on wet surfaces.
• The 3LC and 5LC tread compounds accentuate handling in corners.
• The compound combined with an improved resin optimises grip characteristics to maintain motorcycle control.
• The 3D profile design of the groove ends improves tyre rigidity.

Installation and Fitting

• The 180/55 R17 size corresponds to a rear fitment on a 17-inch rim.
• The Tubeless design installs without an inner tube, in accordance with the intended fitment type.
• The load index of 73 and speed index W facilitate compliance verification for replacement.
• Manufacturer reference 18354

Usage and Performance

• On wet surfaces, reduced low-speed slipping enhances control during acceleration.
• The increase in speed through corners helps to exploit the motorcycle's handling on the road.
• On wet surfaces, the claimed lap time improves by 5% compared to the S21.
• The longevity maintained compared to its predecessor supports repeated road use.
