The Pirelli Evo 21 summer motorcycle tire is one of the novelties of the Italian tire giant, designed for the widest range of "small-displacement" motorcycles. First and foremost, these are scooters with various dynamic characteristics. The size range of this model includes 6 types of tires, both for front and rear wheels with a mounting diameter of 12, 13, or 14 inches, which guaranteed its excellent applicability.
Differences in tread patterns
Since this model is designed for motorcycles, two tread patterns were developed for it to provide maximum grip properties - for the front and rear wheels, which perform several different tasks. For example, it is very important for the front wheel not to lose contact with the road, especially if it is covered with water. That's why a wide drainage groove runs in the middle of its tread pattern. Its dimensions are large enough to handle the removal of almost any amount of water from the contact patch.
As for the tread pattern of the Pirelli Evo 21 for rear wheels, it differs not only in the absence of a central drainage groove but also in a number of other design features. First of all, this is a significantly larger contact patch, the dimensions of which were made maximum due to a more flat profile, as well as an increase in its width. In addition, the tread pattern of the rear tire is distinguished by the presence of many transverse drainage grooves, which, during movement, create many sharp edges, thereby providing excellent traction and grip properties in the longitudinal direction.
Optimized rubber compound composition
In recent years, Pirelli has made a huge step forward in the field of rubber compounds. One of the evidences of this technological breakthrough is motorcycle tires, including Pirelli Evo 21. Its rubber compound contains components of a new generation, as well as high-strength bonds, which provided this model with most of its excellent grip properties.
Main features of the Pirelli Evo 21 motorcycle tire
- the tire design is optimized for operation on scooters with different engine capacities;
- different tread pattern of the tire for front and rear wheels, which ensures maximum grip properties;
- an effective drainage system provides excellent grip on wet roads.
