The Pirelli Angel GT is a premium sport-touring motorcycle tire engineered for riders seeking maximum mileage, high-speed stability, and top-tier wet weather safety without compromising on sporty handling. It is officially classified as a Gran Turismo (GT) tire, evolving from the previous Angel ST model to withstand the demands of long road trips, loaded side bags, and two-up riding with a passenger.
Key Technical Features
-
Bi-Compound Rear Layout: Features a dual-compound architecture on the rear tire. The center stripe consists of a harder, high-silica rubber blend to minimize wear under heavy acceleration, while the softer shoulder compounds deliver maximum grip at deep lean angles.
-
Optimized Contact Patch: Utilizes an Extended Mileage Sport (EMS) profile that creates a wider but shorter footprint on the pavement. This reduces drag and heat buildup, translating to uniform wear characteristics and long tread life.
-
Zero-Degree Steel Belting: Employs longitudinal steel belts beneath the tread to ensure carcass rigidity, maximum stability under heavy braking, and optimal heat dissipation.
-
High-Silica Wet Grip Engineering: The tread pattern incorporates elongated, deep grooves derived from racing tech to efficiently evacuate standing water, providing confidence and stopping power on slick, rainy roads.
