Pirelli GTS24 140/70 R14 68S XL (Задняя)

The Pirelli GTS24 motorcycle tire is designed for large scooters equipped with engines of 125 cc or more. The wide range of sizes includes types for wheels with a rim diameter of 12 to 15 inches.

Refined sporty handling

The abbreviation in the name of the GTS tire is composed of the capital letters of the English phrase Grand Tourismo Sport, which in this case means the presence of an ideal balance between sporty handling and a high level of riding comfort. This is largely due to the tread pattern, which contains many drainage grooves that divide it into separate functional zones, each of which provides a solution to a strictly defined set of tasks.

The central part of the Pirelli GTS24 tread pattern is characterized by high structural rigidity, making it resistant to dynamic deformations. This feature has been further enhanced by a special profile shape, which was "borrowed" from other sports touring models of the Italian tire giant. All this together has made it possible to significantly improve the directional stability, especially when driving at high speeds. In addition, this has made it possible to significantly reduce the tire's response time to control actions, which greatly simplifies the process of controlling the scooter.

In turn, the shoulder zones of the tread pattern of this tire are divided into numerous blocks by drainage grooves. Due to their massive size, they provide excellent stability when cornering.

High resistance to aquaplaning

As for the drainage grooves themselves, they cope with their main functions perfectly. This is largely due to the fact that the Italian tire manufacturers decided to increase their size by reducing their number. At the same time, the curved shape of the drainage grooves has made it possible to significantly increase the speed of water removal from the contact patch, which has significantly increased the performance of the entire water drainage system as a whole.
