The new generation of X-radial carcass

combined with a reinforcement ply provides

the optimal solution for heavy motorcycles

by improving the riding comfort without

compromising on safety.

The thick tread layer is backed by three

reinforcing plies to enhance the tyre’s

protection against punctures.

technology

The carcass of the bias belted tyre takes

all of the benef its of bias construction

and then increases potential for stability

by resisting centrifugal growth in higher

speed applications through the use of a belt

formed from additional diagonal plies in the

crown area

The carcass of a Bias tyre consists of 2 or

more diagonally orientated carcass plies.

The overlap angle of these plies can be

changed to give dif fering properties to the

f inished tyre. The structure is uniform, and

the tyre crown area has similar properties to

the sidewalls, because of this, load bearing

is very good.

A highly dense more rigid tyre casing

which helps deliver excellent feedback

and handling Aramid tread plies reduce

weight provide excellent stability and resist

centrifugal growth even at speed and under

high temperatures
