Product Description
  • Full Soft and 2CT Medium and Medium-Soft compounds were originally developed for MotoGP racing, (See Multi-View for Compound Chart)
  • Excellent high speed stability thanks to carcass construction made up of two angled polyester plies and a zero-degree Aramid belt
  • Semi-slick tread pattern to maximize the contact patch especially at full lean, and increase stability of the tread
  • Tread grooves are oriented to evacuate water from the contact patch in damp track conditions
  • Rounded front profile and sharper rear profile actually help shift weight of the bike toward the front for improved front end feedback under braking - this also minimizes the need for adjusting suspension settings
  • W-rated for speeds up to 168 mph


Tire Compounds:
  • Full Soft Compound
  • Medium-Soft Compound: An intermediate center compound with a super soft compound on the shoulder
  • Medium: An intermediate center section and a soft compound shoulder


**Note: See Multi-View images for rubber compound chart

sean jackson,  GA Not as sticky as you might think ! I recently tried this tire on my gsxr 750 on the track. It was the first full race tire I have used, and to be honest they don't stick as good as you would think. I used the soft compound and I almost tucked the front a couple of times. I also don't recommend them without tire warmers. I went out on them cold and first lap was like ice, I’m coming off pilot powers and I swear they stick as good! Fit was good but grip leaves a little to be desired on the other hand the rear power race sticks like glue. The sizes I used were 120/70/17 and 180/55/17.
