Supersport or sport touring depending on your riding style
-When riding softly the long grooves under the footprint grant an optimal water evacuation and proper tread mobility that contribute to quick warm-up, contact patch conformability and hence better comfort and grip; the optimal behavior of a sport touring tire.
-When riding sporty and the tire is engaged at a higher pace, the walls of the narrow portion of the grooves join together increasing tread pattern stability. The entrusts the compound to deliver all the grip potential, improves trajectory precision especially when leaning, and determines a supersport class tire behavior.
Roadtec 02 improves the riding pleasure and ease of handling
-The footprint surface is very smooth thanks to the reduced quantity of grooves over the tread pattern, thus increasing the quality and ease of handling.
-Less grooves translates to less interruptions of the surface, bringing less vibrations, less noise and a more uniform transition from upright to leaning.
Roadtec 02 improves grip in dry conditions
-The greater rate of rubber in contact with the ground enables the footprint area to generate more grip. Moreover, the Adaptive Tread Pattern design increases the tread comnpactness and reactivity when riding faster.
-Rear sizes feature a dual-compound layout, with a soft shoulder stripe that increases grip when leaning.
-This soft stripe covers approximately 80% of the tire width, equally split between the two sides.
Roadtec 02 improves grip in wet conditions
-The new generation of full-silica compounds of both the fronts and rears improve the chemical adhesion to wet roads.
-The use of similar compounds on the front and rear shoulders provides a homogenous contact feeling when leaning.
Roadtec 02 is made of more than 43% of Bio-based and recycled materials
-Roadtec 02 obtained ISO 14021. This certification was carried out by an independent third party (Bureau Veritas) and verifies the percentage of materials content, in all the plants in which Roadtec 02 is produced.
Adaptive Tread Design
The tread pattern design adapts to the riding style and modifies the tire behavior.
The walls of the narrow portion of the grooves (in red) join together when the tire is engaged at a higher pace and modifies the behavior of the tread from sport-touring to super-sport.
