The Shinko 003 Stealth motorcycle tire has a somewhat unusual sphere of application. This model is more suitable for use on racing tracks than on public highways. It features a tread pattern that is distinguished by the almost complete absence of tread elements, which are replaced by a few drainage grooves.
Large contact patch
One of the distinctive features of this model is its very large contact patch. This is due not only to the small number of tread elements, as mentioned earlier. The main credit for this goes to the Shinko 003 Stealth tire profile. It has a variable curvature, which keeps the contact patch unchanged not only in size but also in shape - it's close to rectangular. This feature provides the tire with excellent stability and reliable traction properties even at significant motorcycle lean angles.
Quickly warming up to working temperature rubber compound
The fact that this model belongs to the racing tires is evidenced by the rubber compound, which is characterized by very rapid warming up to working temperature. This ability appeared due to the presence of special components in its composition. They not only accelerate the heating of the tread, but also ensure its maintenance at an optimal level, regardless of external conditions.
Exceptional stability at high speed
A characteristic feature of this model is its stable behavior when moving at high speed. It is provided by the tire's resistance to dynamic deformation. This ability was achieved thanks to the multi-layer construction of the carcass, in which aromatic polyamide was used. This material has excellent mechanical strength and stiffness, as well as resistance to high temperatures.
Main features of the Shinko 003 Stealth tire
- original V-shaped tread pattern with almost no individual elements, making the tire perfectly suitable for racing or dynamic sports riding;
- excellent stability at any speed, thanks to a very strong and rigid carcass, one of the layers of which is made of aromatic polyamide;
- very rapid warming up to working temperature is ensured by special components of the rubber compound.
