Large contact patch area
This model was the first to apply the proprietary Maximized Contact Patch technology, the name of which is literally translated as "maximum contact patch area". It includes a range of technical solutions that have affected the main design components of the tire, starting from the composition of the rubber mixture and ending with the structure of the carcass.
Block structure of the tread pattern
This model is offered in two versions - for the front and rear wheels. Externally, both versions are almost identical, except for a few characteristic differences. First of all, these are special straight lamellas on the surface of the blocks of the rear tire protector. The main functional purpose of these elements is not only to form additional grip edges, but also to increase the size of the blocks themselves when they come into contact with the road surface. This design feature makes it possible to significantly increase the contact patch area without compromising other working qualities of the tire.
In addition, it is impossible not to note the scheme of arrangement of all blocks, thanks to which the tread pattern contains three longitudinal ribs. Such a layout provides the tire with excellent directional stability and very transparent feedback, due to which the process of controlling the motorcycle is significantly simplified.
