"ROADHOUND is therefore the ideal tyre for sports touring, naked bikes and road crossovers."

Technology

Quadrazone compound technology features 4 zones of compound working together to ensure optimal dynamical performances and extended tyre durability:

  • The superficial layer has a dual compound setup (‘harder’ on the center increasing mileage and stability, ‘softer’ on the shoulders improving grip when leaning)
  • The compounds touching the ground are connected to the inner structure by an additional layer which increase overall stability in every riding conditions
  • Compound wings on the sidewall helps in reducing vibrations and heating

A special blend of Silica rich fillers with High Structure Carbon plus additional fillers and reinforcements ensures that the chemical properties of our compounds are balanced for usage on both wet/low temperature and dry/high temperature tarmacs. The mixing of these components undergoes several carefully monitored tests in our advanced laboratories

Carcass cords parameters such as materials, density, stiffness and so on, are finely tuned to provide stability, comfort and shape even when riding at high speed and loaded motorcycles (such as highway travelling with passenger and/or cargo). This careful selection ensures a pleasant travelling experience even in the more severe conditions

FEA aided tread pattern and contact patch optimization, ensuring even pressure distribution and optimal grooves/rubber ratio under footprint at all leaning angles.

This technology allows for increased grip, water dispersal and compound wearing resistance, empowering the rider’s experience

Zero degree steel belt technology promotes excellent dynamical performances when riding at high speed, by ensuring the tyre retains its optimal profile even when subjected to high magnitude external forces. This reduces self-righting effect and tyre heating, plus increases stability and trajectory precision
