Key advantages you’ll notice on the road

• 
  Optimized tread for reliability in wet and dry conditions – engineered to deliver predictable grip when you push into turns and strong water evacuation to minimize hydroplaning on wet roads.
• 
  Balanced compound and profile – designed to provide steady feedback across a wide temperature range, helping you feel lean angles sooner and maintain confidence at higher speeds.
• 
  Tubeless radial construction – fewer maintenance steps, consistent contact with the pavement, and reliable puncture resistance for everyday riding and weekend hops to the twisties.
• 
  Performant 160/60 rear size – the slightly taller/compact profile supports responsive steering and a stable footprint during acceleration and hard cornering on sport bikes that run 17-inch wheels.
• 
  High-speed potential with everyday practicality – the 69W load/speed rating signals capability for spirited rides and steady performance at highway speeds without compromising longevity.

Who this tire is ideal for

Real-world use cases

• Weekend canyon trips where quick turn-in and firm mid-corner feedback help you stay confident through lean angles.

Care and installation tips
