Novion US150 — tire for scooters and light motorcycles. The model is designed for mixed conditions: dense city traffic, wet asphalt after rain, broken cobblestone, and suburban highways. The main task is to provide stable traction in any weather without "sacrificing" mileage and comfort.
Drainage and directional stability
The tread pattern is built according to the classic road scheme, but with an emphasis on water drainage. The central zone consists of two solid zones with a groove. When driving straight, it minimizes micro-steering, clearly fixing the front wheel on course. At the same time, the lateral grooves perform the role of rapid drainage tracks — water and small debris are instantly squeezed out of the contact patch to the outside.
Silica compound
The rubber contains a moderate amount of silica, which gives two effects:
- at low temperatures, the tire does not become "stiff", maintaining the contact patch;
- in summer heat, the compound does not become excessively soft, resisting abrasive wear from hot asphalt.
But the main factor of resource — uniform distribution of pressure over the contact patch. The design of the carcass and the shape of the profile are selected so that the specific pressure on the central and shoulder zones is leveled. The tread wear occurs gradually, without local areas.
Carcass and acoustic silence
The internal structure is made with flexible, but energy-intensive layers of cord. This is not a soft "limp" tire, but an elastic system that works as a damper: bumps on the asphalt, cracks, cobblestone, and even small potholes are smoothed out without transmitting a harsh impact to the steering wheel. At the same time, lateral stiffness is maintained – the tire does not "fold" in turns. The noise level on dry asphalt is minimal due to the optimized pitch of the transverse grooves.
Key features of Novion US150:
- motorcycle tire for active city driving;
- central zone provides directional stability when driving straight and clear response to steering wheel rotation;
- carcass design with uniform pressure distribution — gradual tread wear and maximum mileage;
- silica compound retains elasticity in cold and resistance to wear in heat, adapting to seasonal fluctuations;
- flexible but elastic carcass absorbs small irregularities and vibrations from cobblestone and asphalt joints, providing comfort even on broken roads.
