Features:
- Chemical grip: The compound is specifically developed with a balanced mix of silica and carbon black to deliver chemical grip in both dry and wet conditions at various temperatures.
- The tread pattern is highly effective in water evacuation due to the shape and orientation of its grooves at any lean angle, providing a sense of security during wet lean angles.
- Profiles derived from Supersport: The profiles are directly derived from those in the radial Supersport segment and are specifically adjusted to offer a wider contact patch for better support during leans and quick feedback, particularly on lean angle and steering precision. The appearance of the tyre is also wider for a sportier and more aggressive look.
- Longevity and wear uniformity: The combination and interaction of the tread design with a balanced mix of silica and carbon black provide uniform tread wear and abrasion resistance for increased longevity and performance robustness.
Handling, braking, comfort... The choice of a motorcycle tyre impacts many aspects of your machine's behaviour, both on the road and on the track or off-road. It is therefore essential to carefully select the model that best suits your needs.
To help you gain clarity, here are some explanations that will assist you in deciphering the markings on motorcycle tyres:
- Dimensions: tyre width in millimetres and tyre height as a percentage of that width. E.g. 190/55, for 190 mm wide and 55% high
- Structure: radial (ZR, or R) or diagonal (B), both tyres must be identical in this criterion
- Diameter: expressed in inches, e.g. 17 or 19
- Load index: maximum load the tyre can support
- Speed index: maximum speed the tyre can support
- M/C indicator: tyre purpose, M/C for motorcycles
- With or without inner tube: TL ("tubeless") for tubeless tyres, TT ("tubetype") with inner tube
Other less significant references are also found on the sidewall of motorcycle tyres (country of manufacture, DOT marking, etc.)
Don't forget to regularly check your tyre pressure, as it ensures longevity and superior performance!
