WSBK derived 3-strand LYOCELL™ wire for 190/55 ZR 17 and sizes above
Stiffer RAYON chords for fronts and rear sizes up to 190/50 ZR 17
EFFECT
Optimized footprint geometry at all lean angles and loads, excellent dynamic response to power unit outputs, quicker handlebar response

More rubber
More space for rubber thanks to lower ply chord end-count
EFFECT
Enhanced harmonic damping on rough pavement surfaces
Excellent riding feeling and reduced tire noise on imperfect tarmac

Tread pattern design
Mid-lean area with reduced void/fill ratio
EFFECT
Higher footprint area and better stress distribution enhancing grip at mid-lean

Contour
New front profile with reduced curvature on shoulders
EFFECT
Wider contact patch during full lean
BENEFIT
Lightening quick handlebar response to rider inputs and smooth feedback while cornering, for enhanced riding control

Compounds
Cap&Base multi-compound layout
EFFECT
Quick warm-up and enhanced thermal balance

FLASH grooves
FLASH tread pattern design
EFFECT
Outstanding stability on wet, by draining more water as speeds increase and as the weather worsens
