  The Super-Sport-Touring tire that doubles up your ride.

  • Riding pleasure, high-performance and safety in a wide range of temperatures and asphalt conditions.
  • Two-tires-in-one, super-sport or sport-touring according to your riding style.
  • Adaptive Tread Design.
  • Dual-Compound rear.
  • Full-silica compounds.

  Benefits:

  Two-tires-in-one, super-sport or sport-touring according to your riding style.

  • When riding softly the long groves 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 class 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. This entrusts the compound to deliver all the grip potential, improves trajectory precision especially when leaning, and determinates a Super-Sport 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 compactness and reactivity when riding faster.
  • Rear sizes feature a dual-compound layout, with a soft shoulder stripe that increase 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 an homogeneous contact feeling when leaning.

  Explore the Details:

  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 join together when the tire is engaged at a higher pace and modifies the behavior of the tread from sport-touring to super-sport.

  Central Longitudinal Grooves.

  • Provide efficient water evacuation and contact patch mobility, which brings comfort, warm-up and grip in the wet.

  Lateral Grooves.

  • Ensures water evacuation and safety feeling when leaning.

  Dual-Compound Rear Sizes.

  • Combines high speed stability with cornering grip and safety in the wet.

  Common Tread Pattern Design for Fronts and Rears.

  • Grants the same adaptive behavior on the front and rear.

  Slick Center and Shoulder Stripe.

  • Better stability when riding upright and more grip at full lean.
