Technical Features & Construction
-
WorldSBK-Derived Tread Pattern: Features a specialized twin longitudinal center groove design inspired directly by Pirelli's World Superbike intermediate racing tires. This layout maximizes straight-line water evacuation and ensures stability under heavy braking.
-
Dual-Compound Rear Layout: Engineered with a cap-and-base compound configuration. The center strip utilizes a high-silica and carbon black blend optimized for high abrasion resistance and maximum highway mileage. The shoulders consist of a 100% full-silica compound to deliver immediate grip and fast warm-up times when leaning into a corner.
-
Variable Cord Carcass Structure: Built with an innovative variable cord end-count that optimizes the tire’s footprint as the bike transitions from a straight line onto its sides. This structural tuning delivers highly predictable, linear lean behavior and works seamlessly with modern electronic rider aids like ABS and Traction Control.
-
Uniform Wear Profile: Designed to prevent flat-spotting and uneven wear, ensuring the tire maintains its agile steering profile and uniform performance characteristics over its entire lifespan.
-
Wet-Weather Braking: The advanced full-silica shoulder compounds combined with the high-void tread channels ensure short stopping distances and an immediate bite on cold or saturated asphalt.
-
Sporty Agility: Inherits Pirelli's legendary racing DNA, offering fast, nimble transitions through corners without the sluggish feel common to traditional touring tires.
-
Extended Longevity: Built to endure long-distance highway touring, daily commuting, and aggressive sport riding without experiencing a rapid drop-off in performance.
