• 2-tyres-in-one, super-sport or sport-touring according to your riding style
• Adaptive Tread Design
• Dual-Compound rear
• Full-silica compounds*

Super-Sport or Sport-Touring according to your riding style :

When riding softly the long groves under the footprint grant an optimal water evacuation and proper tread mobility that contribute to quick warm-up, contact-patch conformability and hence better comfort and grip_ the optimal behavior of a Sport-Touring class tyre.

When riding sporty and the tyre is engaged at a higher pace, the walls of the narrow portion of the grooves join together increasing tread pattern stability. This entrusts the compound to deliver all the grip potential, improves trajectory precision especially when leaning, and determinates a Super-Sport class tyre behavior.

ROADTEC™ 02 improves the riding pleasure and ease of handling

The footprint surface is very smooth thanks to the reduced quantity of grooves over the tread pattern, thus increasing the quality and ease of handling.

Less grooves translates to less interruptions of the surface, bringing less vibrations, less noise and a more uniform transition from upright to leaning.

ROADTEC™ 02 improves GRIP in dry conditions

The greater rate of rubber in contact with the ground enables the footprint area to generate more grip. Moreover, the Adaptive Tread Patter design increases the tread compactness and reactivity when riding faster. 

Rear sizes feature a dual-compound layout, with a soft shoulder stripe that increase grip when leaning.

This soft stripe covers approximately 80% of the tyre width, equally split between the two sides.

ROADTEC™ 02 improves GRIP in wet conditions

The new generation of full-silica compounds of both the fronts and rears improve the chemical adhesion to wet roads.

The use of similar compounds on the front and rear shoulders, provides an homogeneous contact feeling when leaning.
