The existence of the Pirelli SL60 motorcycle tire is owed to a very small category of scooter owners who have found an unconventional and extraordinarily infectious way to use this technology. These are the ones who prefer to ride their scooters not only on paved roads, for which they were originally created, but also off-road. Such unusual operating conditions have led to significant changes in the tire's design, which will be discussed below.
Traction properties in any conditions
Unlike its analogs designed for use on paved roads, this model is equipped with a tread featuring a very aggressive V-shaped design, characteristic of tires installed on large touring enduro bikes. It contains a large number of individual blocks, with the most massive ones located in the central part of the tread and the smallest in size found in the shoulder areas. During movement, each of these elements forms numerous traction edges, thanks to which the tire demonstrates confident behavior on dirt roads.
Multi-radius tread profile
Like "adult" tires, the Pirelli SL60 model has a tread with a variable curvature profile. A significant part of it is located almost on the sidewalls of the tire. The blocks located here become ground-gripping blocks in complex situations, providing confident behavior when moving on unstable soft ground covers.
Reinforced carcass
The carcass design has been adapted to the operating conditions. Its basis is a nylon cord. Thanks to the progressive winding technology, the nylon fibers are arranged very densely, giving the carcass increased stiffness and significant carrying capacity. Due to this, the tire demonstrates excellent manageability and stability even when the scooter is fully loaded.
Main features of the Pirelli SL60 tire
- high efficiency, both in urban conditions and on dirt roads in any weather conditions, thanks to the aggressive tread pattern with an open V-shaped design;
- excellent applicability is ensured by a wide range of sizes;
- excellent handling even when fully loaded, thanks to a lightweight and durable carcass made of nylon cord.
