The motorcycle tire Shinko 010 Apex borrowed its name from racing terminology, where the word "apex" refers to the point of the trajectory closest to the inner edge of the road. In addition to terms from the world of racing, this model has applied several technologies that have provided it with a fairly wide range of applications. In particular, this tire is well suited not only for highway roads but also for racing tracks, both in dry and wet conditions.
Unchanged shape and size of the contact patch
One of the characteristic features of the Shinko 010 Apex tire is its very stable and reliable handling. To a large extent, this was achieved due to the tread profile with a variable curvature. Thanks to this fairly simple but sophisticated solution, the tire's contact patch with the road surface remains unchanged, both in size and shape, even at significant motorcycle lean angles.
Rear tire resistant to deformation
The key feature of the rear tire is its carcass, the design of which contains solutions more typical of racing models. First and foremost, this is the cord winding technology, the steel cords of which are arranged at an angle to the direction of movement. At the same time, the process of their laying is designed in such a way as to exclude the possibility of seams and overlaps. As a result, the rear tire has acquired the ability to maintain its initial profile shape even at significant lateral accelerations, as well as at high-temperature exposure. All this ultimately allows for very effective use of the entire power of the motorcycle engine.
High management efficiency
In its turn, the front tire contains several other solutions, also borrowed from the world of racing. First and foremost, this is the breaker layer, the stiffness of which is ensured by the physical properties of aromatic polyamide, from which it is made. Thanks to this, it was possible to significantly increase the directional stability and reduce the response time of the tire to steering wheel turns. This, in turn, significantly simplifies the process of managing the motorcycle.
Main features of the Shinko 010 Apex motorcycle tire
- ultra-modern technologies borrowed from the world of racing provide a wide range of applications;
- the unique cord winding technology allows the rear tire to most effectively use the entire power of the motorcycle engine;
- the rigid breaker layer of the front tire simplifies the process of managing the motorcycle by increasing directional stability and control efficiency.
