Novion SS-166 — motorcycle tyre, created for riders who demand predictability on loose terrain, precision in turns, and durability to harsh impact loads. Designed for light and medium cross-country motorcycles, this model is equally effective when installed on both the front and rear wheels. The tyre is designed for closed circuits, polygons, and competitions.
Grip on any soil
The tread is built on the principle of a symmetrical aggressive design with large, isolated blocks. This is not a chaotic arrangement, but a precise calculation for various surfaces — from loose sand and gravel to dense grassy turf.
The central zone is formed by massive elements. They are responsible for directional stability on straight sections, providing ease of handling even on deep terrain.
The powerful shoulder construction and increased angle of attack allow the bike to hold a turn even with significant lean. Thanks to the thoughtful height of the lugs, the tyre does not slip on exit from a turn.
A critically important element is the deep drainage grooves between the blocks. They perform a dual function. Firstly, they provide instant water and mud evacuation. Secondly, due to the large volume of the channels, the tyre actively self-cleans even from sticky clay or wet sand.
Strength and elasticity
The engineers have opted for a proven solution — a single-layer polyester cord. This structure provides the necessary flexibility of the carcass, allowing the model to deform when hitting stones and roots, absorbing the impact without losing integrity. At the same time, the density of the threads and their arrangement are calculated to prevent the sidewall from puncturing during sharp compressions, typical of jumps and harsh landings.
The rubber compound belongs to the Medium Soft category. The elasticity provides a high coefficient of friction on dry and slightly wet surfaces, allowing the blocks to "envelop" small ground irregularities, increasing the area of actual contact.
Key features of the Novion SS-166:
- suitable for both front and rear wheels, providing a unified handling style and simplifying the selection of a set for light and medium-class bikes;
- large isolated blocks with deep grooves guarantee reliable grip on sand, gravel, grassy surfaces, and loose soil, as well as instant self-cleaning;
- powerful shoulder lugs prevent slipping even with significant lean;
- the NHS marking confirms the use exclusively on closed sites and tracks.
