Description Shinko 240 Classic
The Shinko 240 Classic motorcycle tire occupies a special place in the range of tire products from this manufacturer. Indeed, the key feature of this model is its classic exterior, under which modern technologies are hidden. Indirect evidence of their presence is the speed index H assigned to this tire.
Frame made of modern synthetic materials
One of the features of this tire, which unmistakably characterizes it as a modern product, is the multi-layer frame, which is fully made of new-generation synthetic materials. Its basis is four layers of nylon fibers, thanks to which the tire is distinguished not only by its extremely small weight and high mechanical strength but also by its excellent elasticity. It is due to this that exceptional smoothness of the ride is ensured, making any trip very comfortable.
In addition to comfort, the development of this model paid considerable attention to ensuring excellent handling. One of the solutions was a breaker layer located directly under the tread. It is made of aromatic polyamide. This material, like nylon, is also distinguished by a combination of low weight and excellent mechanical strength, but it also has much greater stiffness. The result of this technical trick was the tire's ability to "hold its shape", i.e., the profile of its tread remains unchanged even at significant lateral accelerations. This has greatly simplified the process of controlling the motorcycle, which is much faster and more precise in executing the driver's commands.
"Vintage" tread pattern
The tread pattern used in this model, the Shinko 240 Classic, refers to several decades ago, when radial tread was just beginning to gain popularity. However, even here, there was room for a whole range of modern technical solutions. First and foremost, this is the presence of longitudinal ribs with zigzag edges and a large number of lamellas, which are mainly located at a significant angle to the direction of movement. This solution made it possible to ensure excellent traction on both dry and wet roads, while reducing the level of resonant noises and vibrations.
Main features of the Shinko 240 Classic motorcycle tire
- an amazing combination of classic appearance with modern technologies;
- a multi-layer frame with an aramid breaker is distinguished by low weight, excellent elasticity, high strength, and resistance to deformation changes;
- excellent resistance to aquaplaning due to very deep longitudinal drainage grooves;
- several wide longitudinal ribs provide excellent directional stability.
